Time and again the press and the media claim that they behave with maturity and self-regulations and time and again they behave in a manner that somehow irritates you to no end.
I just came out from watching the Prime Minister address a press conference in Bombay and one thing that kept catching your ear was HOW the reporters addressed him when they wanted to ask a question. "Mr. Singh, what do you think about so-and-so", "Manmohanjee kya aapko lagta hai....?" ... what the heck! Even if elections are round the corner, HE STILL IS THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE COUNTRY! Is it THAT difficult to address him as "Mr. Prime Minister"?
And at the end of the question by the reporters there would be a delayed pause before they said "thank you" almost as if it were and after thought or forced-out from them. Spurt in the number of media channels ... ok... you need lots of new journalists and reporters ... ok... but at least have them behave in a manner respectable of their profession and to accord respect to people who deserve it?
