Trial by the Media: Screw Up All Men

[Editor: Yes, this seems to be the new jargon of Indian Journalism. The journalists of all hues are involved in the active implementation of this theme, whether it is in the case of a person running an "Ashram" or it relates to the "Sexual Behavior" of one of their own men. The Cacophony is same everywhere: "Screw-up all men" just in slight pretext.  The words are thrown, with such precision, that blood boils of young and old. Trial by the media is telling and those who are playing with fire could one day become victims-- the writing on the wall is, India has anti-men jurisprudence. Thanks to a group of women perverts who ENJOY SEX and then denies to save the required public face, when the things come up in public. Thanks to a group of sycophants of some political outfits who are more concerned to toe the party line rather than, seeing the truth. The Journalists who delivers judgement, blinded by emotions and gender prejudice, are a curse for the world!! It is better that Indian intelligentsia, takes them with a grain of salt, unless any court conviction comes up. But when Indian media is so violent and assertive, it raises genuine questions regarding the neutrality of any court (or Judiciary) of India; and that follows any judgement. The moral of the story is that when vengeance takes precedence over, facts, then everyone knows where a society is going to land. The above points seems to be oozing out from the  diatribe of one Ms.Shefali Vaidya in her Facebook Page, titled 'Why are you so outraged over this Tehelka scandal', they ask me.against a high profile but controversial media-man. However, some of the points mentioned by the lady can provoke anyone to question, the stand of the media-personality (in the context) on issues related to women. The write-up has been copied from her Facebook page and delivered for  your kind perusal. When people loses all sense of civility and goes on the path of direct acquisition without any fact and figure, we call it INSANITY. The rest is for you to decide] 

'Why are you so outraged over this Tehelka scandal', they ask me.

I am outraged because I was a 22 year old journalist once. I am outraged because someday, my daughter will be 22 and start work.

I am outraged because 50 year old perverts are so drunk on power and political clout that they think nothing of forcing themselves upon women half their age, not once, but twice, and then send them shameless texts about 'fingertips'.

I am outraged because a vile scumbag took advantage of his position to sexually assault a vulnerable girl who trusted him as a father figure, a girl who was his friend's daughter and his daughter's friend both.

I am outraged because when she resisted, the jerk tried to intimidate her by hinting that 'the best way to hold her job is to give in'.

I am outraged because this was the same man, who made a career out of being a presstitute, whose pen was on hire for the highest bidder, and yet, lectured others on probity and high morals from every pulpit he could find.

I am outraged because this over-the-hill hack who couldn't keep his pants zipped up, had the gall to 'recuse' himself to a six month old paid vacation as a 'lacerating penance'.

I am outraged because a noted poet thought this was enough 'repentance' and lauded the creep on his 'impeccable values'.

I am outraged because many in the fraternity first described the assault as an 'incident', like all Tejpal did was to pass gas in polite company! Now THAT would have been an 'incident'. THIS, my dear holier than thou, sanctimonious swish journos, is RAPE! 

And finally, I am outraged because, his sidekick, a sanctimonious woman who claimed she is outraged by rape, condoned the rape by her boss and continues to whitewash his actions by churning out creative excuses that are as ridiculous as they are puke-inducing.

I am outraged because, not only the emperor, but the whole kangaroo court is caught without any clothes on, and they are still trying to sell us the idea that nudity is a state of mind!
