Websites blackmail actors and producers for money and promotional ads, asserted many news channels, after Vijay Deverakonda passed serious allegations against few gossip websites. They generalized all the film websites stating web media writes only fake news and blackmail producers to launch negative propaganda against their films and give poor ratings.
These news channels promote themselves as if they are brand ambassadors for trustworthiness. But, the reality is completely different. Few producers came up with the proposal of banning few TV channels for threatening to launch negative publicity against their films, in case if they are not given audio launch telecasting rights or promotional ads or financial package.
These channels even aired programs to defame Tollywood stars by inviting not so popular and controversial actors and others for their debate shows. Few channels continuously invited Kathi Mahesh and Sri Reddy for TV debates only to slander Pawan Kalyan and few others. Now, these TV channels are mocking websites over Vijay Deverakonda’s issue.
Besides all these, most of the TV channels are biased to ruling or opposition parties. They don’t ever criticize the party they support as they will lose huge funds offered by those parties. On the other hand, they sensationalize even silly things for TRPs.
To conclude with, TV channels should stop using the words like ‘fake’, ‘blackmail’ etc. as people are well aware that who are fake who blackmailers are.
