Blatant sensationalism of the Indian mainstream media...
When the child spoke on camera, she was speaking with a conviction which only a carefully rehearsed and taught person can...It can be clearly understood, she was taught to play on the sentiments along the poor, downtrodden, neglected lines.
RECENTLY I saw a news report on a leading news channel which spoke of how a school had denied admission to a kid and was startled to see the blatant sensationalisation of the entire issue by the channel. This kind of reporting has become a routine affair in the way news is presented before the gullible audience. This is immensely disturbing. This kid was allegedly denied admission in a posh english medium school...cause apparently the school was scared of the dangers of being target. Naturally when I started to see, my sympathy was with the kid...but it slowly changed as I saw...The Vice principal of the school was called from the television studio, and he tried to helplessly explain that the kid is absolutely illiterate...but wanted to take admission in the school, directly at the 5th standard...she aparently also couldnt undrstand a single english word...
When the child spoke on camera, she was speaking with a conviction which only a carefully rehearsed and taught person can do...It can be clearly understood, she was taught to play on the sentiments along the poor, downtrodden, neglected lines. we are so used to it...Clearly opportunism, greed of the parents maybe? An inherent habit of getting things easy by exploiting the emotions, and selling poverty?
