Well I have been looking a platform where I can criticize this news channel called Zee News. First thing comes in my mind is this channel is biased; they only work for a particular party. Second thing that comes in my mind is their editor- in- chief who had been sent to jail for demanding bribe in lieu of not airing coal scam story of a congress leader. Now, how immoral for him to talk about honesty and corruption on his show.
Some people says that this channel is very informative but I don’t think so. I don’t think they analyse the authenticity of the news before airing them. Let me give you one example of that. Recently one of their host aired a show in which he claimed that the new 2000 rupees note is having a chip in it which is not true, even Arun jaitely has denied for that. Same thing happened when they played a JNU video, in which students were raising anti India slogens, later the video was found doctored. At numerous instances they passed their judgement on such issues when they are in the court. Party like AAP has boycotted this news channel as they only speak on the behalf of their favourite party. They always try to communalize news, they do not respect the fact that India is a multi religious country and each and every person regardless of their religion, want to work for the betterment of the country.
As far as their range of programmed is concerned they do not have much to offer to audience. I don’t watch their debate programme as I already know what they are going to present. The one thing I like is their cartoon programme called “excuse me”.
Media is said to be the forth pillar of democracy and it is medias’ responsibility to tell the truth. Just to make a party happy doesn’t serve their cause. One more advise to them pl don’t sensationalize the news like they did it in Amir Khan case. Personal views of all the individuals must be respected by all the channels.
