Some defects or defeciencies should not demean the entire show and the same analogy applies to the Commonwealth Games which are symbolic of nation’s pride, courage and determination.The CWG represent combined spirit of the government and the people. Media’s hype over highlighting some incidents in a tone and tenor of casting aspersions on the entire system of the CWG seem uncalled for because such an exercise may be beneficial for the Media in terms of hogging limelight or enhance TRP rates owing to inter or intra-rivalries, but brings disrepute to the nation as a whole. Not only the Government, the people are also enmeshed in Media-generated quagmire.
The bulk of Media in India is privately-owned and they cater to the vested interest at the cost of public interest without realizing that by doing so they are harming the interests of their patrons as well. It would have been in the fitness of things if the Media could have started pinpointing deficiencies from the initial launch of the preparations and by doing so it could have helped in plugging loopeholes.
