How effective and focused is the media in india today.  Is media distorted? Is it NEWS or an individual's oppion. Is media trying to change is focus from BLACK & WHITE to Colourful, making things sensational leading to Yellow Journalism?

Man bites dog is definitely news. Anything out of the ordinary needs to be reported. That's what reporting is all about.

Reminds me of old joke:

Santa: Horses are better than men.

Banta: How?

Santa: When horses run hundred or men come to watch the horse race, but when men run not even a single horse comes to watch the race. Hence horses are better than men.

@Hitched Hiker- I agree Man Bites Dog is NEWS, but cetrainly not to be reported on the first page. There has to be a greater concern when dog bites man dogs bite man. Maybe such issues are not reported often because they are not taught in schools for scandal....

@Choto Cheeta - Very right maybe media is taking bedroom stories in the name of Big B (Boss I mean here) breaks more ice..and testing your patience to make u come back after the break. It is true when horses run people come to watch the black stallions. Perbaps betting and glamour lures them more than the Joky.

Why not then Santa Banta times now?
