Move over Social Media! Alternate Media is here.
Certain
events begin with no fixed goal in mind, nor do people join in premeditated
manner, before we even realize event has a life of it’s own and is driven by
that energy, people are mere passengers contributing when required. This is
precisely what has happened in the case “Social Media” in India
Some
sections if not all of main stream media in India have conducted themselves in an
utterly disgusting & despicable manner making democracy in India seem
resting on a tripod instead of the normal four pillars associated with
Democracies.
Validity of
Social Media is enhanced as Main Stream Media has and continues to lose
credibility on a daily basis. This is
continuation of what was started in December 2010, that is the role and
challenge Social Media plays and poses to the ostensible Main Stream Media.
This was followed by another post in June 2011 which has become overloaded with
screen shots and needs to be closed for further update.
If we
thought 2002 Gujarat riot cottage Industry is closed, then look again, evidence
is mounting on daily basis against those who have lead this Industry for past
decade, answer they shall sooner, than later, nature has it’s own laws which
demand justice be done. Media is behaving as expected without any change what
so ever, at the drop of the hat Modi must be discussed & debated loudly in
the studios, regardless if it makes sense to panelists and viewers, TRPs are
important and those must be garnered. Rest is honkey dory Congress epitomizes
sainthood, allz well.
What has
the media been up to all this while? We had the hounding of BSY and then 19
part expose by Times Now on Nitin Gadkari. Little bit of yelling and shouting
on Coal scam, minor mention of National Herald issue, fleeting mention of
Robert Vadra and land acquired in Haryana and Rajasthan. Ashok Gehlot’s
canceling of Mines to his kith and Kin has been skipped totally by Times Now as
if it did not happen.
Some sound
and fury on Augusta Westland Helicopter scam. Headlines Today did air a program
on land dealing of Robert Vadra in Haryana and Rajasthan. In a nutshell it has
amounted to nothing if we are to believe Media is the fourth pillar of
democracy. And willingly shoulders the responsibility of exposing and reporting
misdeeds of those in power.
While they
continue to cry wolf about us, again mounting evidence shows that it is
baseless, anonymous handles they engage with who in turn get abusive. Who know
the genuineness of such handles and who is operating them? It’s all wearing
thin no buyers for such tripe. On the other hand there is a parallel narrative
“Impact of Social Media on Electoral Politics” MSM claims anything from 160 to
215 seats no one in the Alternate Media is claiming such impact. Why are such narratives being built up, is
MSM apprehensive? Does the presence of AM disturb MSM game plan?
The need to
engage with Tweeple is indeed a very high priority for NDTV which was rejected
by a large number of Tweeple refusing to appear on it’s show ‘The Big Fight’ an
unheard first for TV industry in India. No this was not the only
first scored! far more significant was live web casting of the recording a day
prior to the show. Why did this happen? Credibility of the channel was the
common reason stated by all to decline invitation from the channel. In a way
this also provided an opportunity for something equally important, there was a
breaking of rank and this lead to a very heated debate. Finally it did prove
beyond doubt there was no organized army of storm troopers operating at the
command of some one else. There is always a silver lining to all dark clouds.
The CEO of
the channel did want to engage with us outside of his channel, unfortunately he
was unable to be present physically at the venue or it would have made for some
memorable riveting debate for even posterity to cherish.
#pappucii
had conveyed a strong message and when the counter #Feku was conceived it was generic
and hijacked, it’s target was again the same individual as #pappucii. Congress
unable to stomach a double dose deployed the media who went into overdrive held
prime time debate in their usual contrived manner and pronounced what Congress
wanted to hear. This indeed was far from truth as the screenshots posted below
will establish beyond doubt.
Unable
muzzle Tweeple, unleashed the most abusive character ever on Twitter, this also
did not deter others, they simply did not engage with him. Left with little
option Congress set up a healthy corpus fund to deploy their own Cyber Coolies
to counter narrative that is seen to be hurting Congress interest. There is
little hope for Congress on this score since the quality employed is poor. Do
watch the video of their star performer Mr. Sanjay Jha who claims Digvijay
Singh is a Twice CM of Maharashtra.
Then of
course you can also read the recently released book “Social Media as Watchdog” Yes
Social media has evolved & evolved well above the threshold from where it
can now be safely called the “Alternate Media”.
