Irritating things about CNN
CNN makes it a point to make anything from India or even related to India be relegated to an inferior position. The latest news was about
"Bombay Dreams", a smash hit musical in London. This is about a guy who raises in bollywood from slums of bombay. The article starts by saying "Despite bad reviews.....". What the heck was that for? Why do they assume that american tastes are better or superior when compared with rest of the world? The logic goes for movies from India. I hate when someone says there should not be any songs in the movies. Why not? It is a different way of making a movie. How realistic are the gun fights, car chases, nuclear disasters and alien invations in American movies? Yes, it is good to watch hollywood movies, but for me, it is equally good to watch Indian movies where actors burst into songs and dances. Coming back to CNN, it is better if it stops saying things like this. Whenever, India launches a satellite, the last line on the article will be the percentage of Indians going without food, Whenever an Indian achieves something worth writing, the last line will be the percentage of illiterate and unemployed people in India will be mentioned. Hey...give us a break or just dont mention anything about us.
Must ask Doordarshan to say "Right conservative American President George Bush" whenever they mention him.
