(Published in THE SUNDAY INDIAN ,(OCT.28- NOV.04)
Well, if readership surveys can be twistd to present a wrong picture , it's not surprising that even TRPs are manipulated and fictious . Considering the way satellite channels are playing with the dignity and private lives of eminent people , it's time to clip their wings . It's no secret that satellite channels , right from " Bhoot Pisach " (evil spirits)stories to fake sting operation , are using nefarious means to increase their TRP . Apart from bogus sting operations , the absence of credible and verificable informations in their news content make mockery of the sensibilites of the viewers . They are ruled by sensationalism , having little regard for transperency and sensitivity .However , the Broadcast Bill should not be an attempt to keep both the public and satellite channels away from the truth .
