These days, India is witnessing a #MeToo campaign where women are labelling charges of sexual assaults on famous male celebrities. It started with movie stars and until it was within movie industry, media was celebrating it. This was perfect "Masala" news - a paradise for media houses since such news attract public attention immediately. But alas, media's celebration was short-lived. Now this campaign has infiltrated the media itself!
Over the last few days, several media personnel have been accused by women. A Hindustan Times key person was accused recently and he stepped down. And now The Wire's co-founder has also been accused:
Now co-founder of leftist website ‘The Wire’ accused of sexual harassment
This is life "full circle" for crooked media houses who enjoy at the expense of others. This is also a slap on the face of "self righteous" portals and news traders like The Wire who claim to be "holier than thou" but have coffins in their coffers.
