Even if politicians speak derogatory statements, why do the corporate media, which promotes it, show that they are superior to the people in politics?

The people who vote are the masters of a democracy. But the people who vote are insulting here. Just for the vote, you raise your hand 100 times and then you don’t look back. Not only that, these corporate media are promoting the political party leaders and political party important figures here, whatever they say and how they speak.

It is not social motive for these newspapers and television channels to project politicians more than the people and social causes. This is how I act and speak, and to show it to the people as superior and true is to deceive the people. Recently, when Nirmala Sitharaman asked a hotel owner a question on GST at a private wedding hall, she was made to meet again and apologise to him, which was also advertised by the media as news.

One has the right to complain to the elected representatives of the people with his problems or grievances. Be it the central government or the state government, whether it is the ministers and officials who are forced to answer for it, they have made him apologise for asking questions here. Is this the rule of kings? No democracy?

I have asked myself this question in many hotels while paying the bill after eating at the café. They put it in 5% hotels. Why should we give 5%? Do you have to pay your taxes, do we have to pay taxes after eating? I asked this question at Poonamallee Hotel. The hotel owner can pay tax on the profit, what is the profit for the eater? It’s a waste of his money.

Moreover, whatever is said, it is not the job of journalism to take it to the people, it is the job of a broker. This is what the corporate media is calling themselves the fourth pillar. Social activists oppose and criticize this.

What is true for journalism, which can be called the fourth estate? What lies? What should be brought to the people? Is this the fourth pillar? Can the Press Council of India and the Information Department officials who are wasting crores of rupees of taxpayers’ money on this circulating be answerable when the rulers and political parties tell the people no matter how many lies they tell to the people? Do you understand what the social welfare press means now? Don’t you understand?

The business skills of the daily newspapers and televisions that were putting up advertisements for the news that Tamil Nadu is walking in victory in the last Edappadi regime for the government advertisement.

If the AIADMK comes like this, what they say is news. If the DMK comes to power, no matter how they speak, that is also news. So what is this fourth pillar? Give me the meaning and decide on the Press Council of India circulation. Already, you have been emailed with such messages. I will also send this. Read on and find out. Journalism in the country should be for the people only.

But here political parties and rulers are important. This is because only then can the newspaper run the business in the millions. As long as people are fooled, these corporate media will keep showing you such news. Because politics in Tamil Nadu is determined by idiots and drunkards who do not know today’s politics.

That is, in a village or a city, in which ward, who is a drunkard? Who will vote with money? Both political parties are doing politics by taking that list. It is the job of these paid party brokers, who talk as if they are fit and buy all those votes.

Moreover, if they attack each other within the party, they immediately go to the fight and cut, punch and beat this is the politics of these goons. If the people of the country believe that politics is based on them, people will be deceived. They will come to power wisely and not only loot public property but also intimidate them. This has been the case in Tamil Nadu politics for 50 years.

Propping up such politics is the fourth pillar of today’s corporate media. Moreover, when it comes to elections, they charge a party or a candidate for a constituency to show their speeches on newspaper and television one after the other. No matter how much he lies, it is an election manifesto, whether it is the local body, the assembly or the parliament, people do not know these facts. Do you know why even those who run small newspapers today? Or do the reporters who work for these corporate press know that? Who knows?

When it comes to elections, drunkards are happy, all parties will buy these bottles of liquor. Alcoholics don’t care about the house either. I don’t care about the country. But the only thing I care about is addiction. It was Ambedkar’s law that gave precious votes to such people. It is reported that he left one last line of the law.

These laws apply only to the generation living in my time and we can change them to suit the next generation,” he said. But these corrupt politicians and corrupt political parties are saying that those laws should not be changed. That is what Congress leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Thirumavalavan and MK Stalin are talking about, defending the Constitution of India.

The Election Commission, which is not bothered about all this, says that elections are a formality. Even if you are corrupt, wrongdoer or social criminal, you are allowed to stand for election again. What law is this? During Ambedkar’s lifetime, there were no such corrupt people and rowdies in politics. Now they are in politics. So, change the law accordingly, is the question for activists? Similarly, change the press laws, this is the question of the social welfare press?
