- Worst examples of Yellow Journalism by the media
Since last couple of year some group of journalists has tried to defame Banglore by terming as “Bride Burning Capital. They keep on arguing that there are 250 “bride burnings” are happening in Bangalore every month. They refer to Victoria Hospital data.
This is where the yellow journalism comes into play. Where as the truth is that Indian homes are 2 times safer than American homes so far as women are concerned.
Yet the journalists show Indian family system is a poor light and want to convert India into America without realizing that crime against women in America is more than that in India in any category of crime.
Journalists are not Gods. It’s the responsibility of journalists to show real facts to people or else people will start losing their trust on media. Today, people use extremely derogatory language on English TV Media in blogs because of media bias.
