Unlike other news TV channels, which overtly betray their tilt towards ruling or opposition parties, as are evident in their presentation of news and views, Tara News, of late, tries to dish out news and views in more or less unbiased manner.To be frank, now a days particularly when Press council has to censure media for catering “Paid news”, honest journalism stands virtually a myth.
What’s unfortunate there’s no unmixed good. It’s no exception for Tara News too.I like to refer to a program titled Headlines beamed in morning slot(7.30am&8.30am) where news items in the front page of different news dailies of the day are analyzed by a veteran and reputed journalist. Regrettably, while discussing the news items most of the times the journalist concerned can’t help speaking his mind bluntly in favour of a particular political party and primarily of its Supremo.Sometimes it seems he’s brokering(excuse me for using such a harsh term) for her party and earnestly wishing its success in the next assembly poll. Its no harm to be a sympathizer or supporter of a particular political party, but TV channel like Tara News, that is apparently making an effort to maintain neutral stance in dissemination of news, is not the right forum to betray news analyst’s bent of mind, to be precise his one-track mind. It tarnishes the image of Tara Newz and does more harm to journalism in particular which has already sustained much harm, thanks to some unscrupulous gate-crashers in its arena.
