Well, To understand the title assume the situation such that Arnab Goswami, Rohul Kaul or Barkha Dutt being interviewed on every news channel about their personal life becuase they did something wrong.
I was watching NDTV show called "Left and Right" hosted by another poster girl of Media Ms. Nidhi Rajdhan. Actress Kiron Kher was replying to question by Nidhi Rajdhan about some celebrity persons turning media on their side in Maoist region. Nidhi was essentially saying Celebrities (Films Peronalities, Sports Stars, politician and et al) make use of Media for their own benefits and Mrs. Kher rightly said that in India most powerful persons are Media and Politicians "in power" and not the celebrities especially film and sport celebrities. Mrs. Kher argued that Media is making all this hulla-hu by showing celebrity more than required on the screen and victimising them to exercise their power in this democratic nation. She re-questioned why Barkha Dutt, Arnab Goswami, Rajdeep Sardesai and likes of them do show worthless things on their shows like footage of celebrity coming out of house, going in the house et cetera making them larger than life for a moment. These TV Media starts know very well that they themselves are celebrity as we all. I am sure they will never like to be shown like that and or will never like to be talked about their own personal things.
What I think is that News Media has traveled in full 360 degrees circle now and the day is not far when some news anchor will be cornered and exposed with the same vigour on all the television shows making them fall in the pit they dug for others.
Names of Barkha Dutt, Rahul Kaul and Arnab Goswami above are just for the sake of this blog and I am proud viewer of their news anchoring like most of the Indians.
