You cant ride a blood thirsty beast and then cry foul

Off late there has been a lot of media bashing. Certain criticisms are well taken ( like intrusive questioning/speculation of victim families.) Also in many cases, the media is no longer an impartial observer, rather it to enters the playing field, batting for either side. This "complicity "stems from being too close to either of the belligerents or pure commercial interests. Here some might argue, why does the media not keep its distance? the sad answer is that it then will not get inside dope which gets them ratings or hits The reporter then has to repay by suppressing, underplaying or overplaying certain news. We as a tribe needs to introspect and make amends. However, there is enough blame to go around. Actors and their PR (I am an entertainment journo ) also keep chasing us to put out useless non- stories. Everyone wants to put out their two pence worth, on any imp news item. play along but then hits back when the tide turns. You cant run with the hares and hunt with the hounds.
