"Ultimately, people just want to get things done. They're okay with paying a small premium to see their work through. This is just greasing the wheels of the economy, and causes no real harm. So let's not devote a disproportionate amount of our time and energy on thinking up ways to get rid of corruption. ".........well..unfortunately these arent my words, but it actually comes from one of the leading national dailies of India which has climbed upto 74th position in the world in terms of corruption.
Shocked....???
(Whether your answer is a yes or a no it hardly makes a difference to me.)
It is (not) difficult to admit that media contents are biased. Unfortunately today most of the news room have gone from media biasing to media corruption, so why wont they call it " just greasing the wheels of the economy , and causing no real harm"
If the media which is one of the most effective source of information isnt serious about issues like corruption which indeed is a major menace , how can we expect the youth or lets say the people of the nation to curb it. Corruption has and will continue to eat up our economy if immediate measures arent taken to atleast minimise it. The level of corruption has risen from just a want to get the work done , to anything and everything...... and hence media is no exception to it.
Though most take painstaking measures to hide it, it is seldom undetectable (thanks to the fabricated stories and shaped and manipulated data that are published.) No longer do media journalism prioritize source accuracy and reliability. Infact it is engaged in every level of criminality and in the name of journalism make millions and sooner or later become "red carpet stars."
An impeccable question still remains unanswered...... Is media covering or covering up corruption??????
