money counts.
saw the movie 'network' on pix today.showed the dirty world of the tv business.how ratings are everything,how it eats away any or all human values amid people.robert duval as the top producer and faye dunnaway as the ruthless programme exec who chops away people if they dont bring in the audience, are exemplary in their roles.no one can forget peter finch as the crazed news caster or william holden as the insecure tv anchorman who finds it difficult to balance a girlfriend and a family and finally ends up losing both.thirty years have passed since the movie was made and ironically nothing has changed in the world of media.it is as though there is no place for ethics.it is only money that is important.someone called me cynical the other day for making the same observation .sadly very similar thoughts were echoed by none other than sir mark tully in one of the functions that he recently graced.i guess everyone is caught on to the gravy train and nothing matters.who said this? money money money sweeter than honey!they knew the world for what its worth.tata.
