Media calls itself Fourth pillar of democracy and shows interest in the corruption prevalent in the rest three pillars, Executive, Legislature and Judiciary but never talks about the corruption which is existent in the media. What is your view about it? See my whole point is that when the three pillars of democracy are corrupt then you have to understand that the fourth pillar comes from the same democracy. Suppose in my family my father is a Judge; my brother is a political leader, my third brother is in government and the fourth one has become a journalist. So how can the fourth brother be corruption free particularly when the other three have been corrupt since last 60 years? This can’t happen that the fourth brother has come from another land. He too is very much a product of the same corrupt society. The extent of corruption has to be understood in the context. Media or journalism (it would be wrong to use word ‘journalism’ here because there is no journalism left today) has become very powerful. Media is in the hands of the corporate which manipulate and controls it.
