We, the Indian, are very much interested in every issue now being exposed centering President Obama and the member of his Senate. India and America, two democratic countries, are often facing problems associated with the rational thinking of media and the opponent. In any case, we are none of China, Pakistan or such other countries and we are proud of that. But often a question peeps in our mind how far we are advanced following freedom of speech, writing and enjoying life as we please?
In US media at present, Fox News plays a role to put things in a mess. As a result “Fox War” by Chrles Krauthammer, published in “The Washington Post” seems to be outstanding. ‘Fox News’ has resemblance with ‘Firefox’ but it is possibly not wild in nature. After all, some unfavorable thinking gain importance day by day and get supported by others of the USA. On the contrary, the watchdogs in the White House can never be as good as pet dogs. Within the Senate there are different views but have had to come to a settlement which gets reflected in the expression of the President.
Our Cabinet ministers and their members of the Senate are competent enough to shoulder the burden of the respective countries following definite thought sequence and ideal, principles and guide lines. There must be a unity among the said members and it is quite likely. So when President Obama is dumb at the Fox News, the administration is likely to be ‘still dumb’. Frankly, when different media has had control why Fox News turn wild? There’s no use going in debate on this issue. Leave it.
Now, none can ignore what the writer exposes in support of the Fox News as regards the voice of the White House: ‘opinion journalism masquerading as news’ and ‘not really a news station’. Consequently, what has long been spread as Fox News does not gain so very importance in the making of the nation. Naturally, misunderstanding creeps in. US constitution approves freedom in every respect by and large as Indian does. But politically motivated persons in a particular region often cross the limit of decency and decorum. This is never desirable.
In every country, in fact, opposition can never allow better birth to the administration; they oppose for the sake of opposition only just to make people understand their wise involvement for the next term. As a result, administration at every step gets challenge and awkward hindrance in the advancement of a democratic country. Ultimately, we gain little or lose more. Maybe, just the reverse. It depends.
never argue with an idiot, they just drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
At present, politics in most of the countries are based on vested interest. Earlier, this picture was not so bad or ugly what we perceive today.
However, let us wait and see how far we can attain through them.
