Did Mr.Talwar kill Aarushi ? Did Mr.Talwar had an affair with his colleague Anita Durani? Did Hemraj and Aarushi had an affair ?
Are these questions of any national importance? News channels these days are not just reporting news but creating news in their studious.
This was just another crime in just another city, but why do you think it had become one of the most sensational cases. Is it because it involved the murder of a minor and a servant when her parents were present in home ? or is it was just because of the amazing marketing and presentation skills of these channels.
The sad part of the whole saga is that Talwar's even after loosing their only daughter, had to defend themselves to the media and people that they are not the murderers. Even though CBI gives him a clean chit and lets him free, will he be able to come out of the mental trauma that he and his family had gone through. Will media provide him a platform and give him the same amount of air time in constructing back his image which he has lost.
Media says they are fair, are they ? Just imagine these scenarios.
Would these channels report this case in the same way if that day of incident happen to be on an election result day ? or when there was a terrorist attack on parliament ?
Would a particular news channel report this case in the same way if Mr.TALWAR was the MD of that channel ?
Finally they claim that they are showing whatever people want to see. I doubt if that is the case , do the viewers have any choice if all the channels report the same.
Are they not crossing the lines.... that line which separates the freedom of media and a common man's dignity.
But the question remains .... Who draws that line ?

Very true, Pande, and a very noteworthy observation too.
Unfortunately the media has become just a graffiti wall, and sadly so. Especially the news channels have become a haven for the sleazy and pervert, u've got all the news about who split with whom, who made up with whom, covered completely, and also reconstucted for "BETTER" reception and UNDERSTANDING of the audience.
Just like the arushi's murder case overhyped the news channels have been increasingly hyping the bollywood and its star(starlets toooo)... Rakhi Sawant and The KHALI i don't what worth do they have to occupy my TV space and also consume my time too.
Well, who draws the line??? No body. We don't mind it, they don't mind it either.
