Is it just me or there's something wrong with it....
Has it ever happened to you that you tuned into a news channel and all that you can hear is utter non-sense!!
For example, you switch to some news channel and for last 24 hours that channel is covering some fallen actress going to Rehab or something....or worse ...showing the pics and videos of a hooker for her involvement in a political scandal....and then you think..I just saw it on E! News (or VH1)...isn't it their territory??
Further, every other news channel is covering how mankind will habitat on Mars in 21st century... while the scientific community still can't get a manned mission to mars working, forget building habitat for future immigrants....and not to mention...we can't control our own civilization on this planet quite well and are talking about acquiring other planets..
Then, there are so called analysts who are so confident that they will buy Hell at the price of earth! Imagine a person, who in his whole life couldn't make money because of his incapacity and probably that's why he is still a TV analyst, is giving lecture to everyone concerned about how to make money??
I mean if it was for Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, I would listen to it ...heck I will take a sick leave, go home and note down few points...
but have you ever wondered taking an economic advice from your maid?
So is it that when a suit-clad tied person talks economics, our perception changes and we assume he knows his stuff.. regardless of what he achieved in his life??
When someone applies for a job of Teacher, the least requirement is he/she should have finished the course that he/she is about to teach...so isn't it binding on the analysts, too??
It is like taking a political advice for Presidential Campaign from a person who couldn't get elected in a town council in one-member race!!!
or For that matter,
To all the sports-fan like me, how sickening is it, when a retired high school basketball/football player comments on Lebron's/ Kobe's technique OR has a advice for Brady/Manning....
(For those of you, who think Cricket is still the most popular sport in the world.....how do you feel when L.Sivaramakrisna talks about flaws in Warne's style or Saba Karim talking about what Tendulkar should do in future to get more runs)
Imagine a bathroom singer like me giving advice to Metallica/Pink Floyd or Beatles about music compositions or trying to give singing lessons to Kishore Kumar or Lata Mangeshkar...
That's the reason why you need BLOGGA.......
When there was a writer's strike in Hollywood, and as Bill Maher couldn't continue his segment of NEW RULES, he started a new segment called BLOGGA.. PLEASE.. realizing the fact that he doesn't have the talent to come up with New Rules, and doing the rational thing....may be it's time for the news media to do the same, and since it is evident that they don't have enough sensible material to go on air for even half-an-hour, they should have BLOGGA..PLEASE..for 24 hours a day....
So that finally, people like me who enjoy news, sports will have a good time watching it!!!
