School of News-Phishing

By- Pamarty Venkataramana

Regale. Rejoice. Drink a toast, oh merry men and lovely looking lassies of  HappyLand – clink your glasses to Mr.Frog!

Tadpoles. Frogs. Hogs. Lambs. Stuttering Parrots. Purring kittens. Whining puppies. Old bulls. Peacocks. Cuckoos. Crows. Vixen. Jackals. Pigs. Ducks. Pigeons. Squirrels. Gorillas. Leeches. Lobsters. Crabs. Mosquitoes. Dragonflies. 

Sidekicks. Sycophants. Slick pickpockets. Sick sting ops. Sleek high heeled. Dishonest.

Noise. Noisy. Rubbishy. Garbage. Stupidest give-always.

Campaigns. Onslaughts. Backlashes. 

Extras. 

Guerrillas. Unlicensed. Unbridled. 

Hop. Skip. Jump. 

Lobbying. Lobbies. Listless. 

Listed. Unlisted. Competition. Non-compete. Incompetent. 

No conscience. Unconscious. Senselessness. 

Unadulterated rot. Unchecked lot. 

All are same School pass-outs : 

Not, Drop-outs.

Establishment. Anti-establishment. Become part of the establishment. 

Beens. Have-beens. Also-rans.

Views. Considered views. Stolen issues. Prejudices. Opinions. Dissent. Mechanisms. 

Poached. Reproached. Approach. 

Discrimination. Non-discrimination. No discussion. Only dissemination. 

Objectives. No Code. Conduct in question. 

Questionable conduct. Express disdain. No more dismay. 

Mules. Benamis. Proxies. 

Mistrust in data. Privacy laws misused. 

Hollering. 

Outlawed-outfits are declared ‘extra constitutional  bodies’  but Camera and microphone wielding ones aren’t ‘ extra-constitutional ‘ blokes? 

Sources. Providing information. Gathering information.

Natural monopoly? Immunity nowhere seen in the whole body of laws,world over. 

Prerogative? 

It is about the Story. 

It is about the editorial perspective. Nothing at all about editorial control. 

Hiding a source. Not being transparent. How is it different from art of phishing? 

Protect journalism:

Not few individuals or stringers on contract. 

End the trouble. Let the editors share source of any leak or breaking story (especially matters sub judice) with a Magistrate and not harp on  vacuous phrases like ‘loyalty towards one(s) who leaked documents’, etc.!

Police-force is an organ of the State.

Not so, the amoeba like mass-media.

Press can’t usurp role of Constitution l-established Courts.

Pressmen can’t decry State Legislatures. Press-reporting can’t be a cinematic-pursuit. 

Oh, dear good, old Charles Dickens!

May I extract and quote from ‘Charles Dickens’ ? 

…’The assistants were paralysed with wonder; the boys with fear. 

‘What!’ said the master at length, in a faint voice. 

‘Please,Sir!’ replied Oliver , ‘I want some more.’

The master aimed a blow at Oliver’s head with the ladle; pinioned him in his arms; and shrieked aloud for the beadle…’ 

And, so India, today …!

Regale. Rejoice.

‘Drink a toast, oh merry men and lovely looking lassies of  HappyLand – clink your glasses to Mr. Frog!’

No more frustration. Let it go. After all, you get it as fiercely as you give it out . 

There are healthier things to report on.

Join the coalition of  #GoodGovernance and #NewIndia ( no more hide in the stables of unreal monsters squeaking in that little head )! 

The perception is not always as it seems.

Amen!
