If you ask for a opinion about a specific subject from a person it will be very rare for the person to ask for some time to study about the subject and then come back to you with relevant facts and figures based on which he has cut across the matter and there by his opinion.
Just like fast food which made inroads into the cosmopolitan cities of country, it is the fast news that has made its inroads into the opinion shaping of the layman. Those attractive flash news headlines, highlighted stencils on social media and more over number of likes and comments that fast news has attracted.
Its understandable that in competitive worlds the 24X7 news channels are hungry for content which can throttle their TRP and hence their viewership. But what is that makes government body to run behind these headlines that they believe can manipulate their policy decisions. A government body that has 30 lakh employees, own police force and communication channel feel threatened by so called "BREAKING NEWS".
If a institution can budge to some spicy headlines, it does not indicate mightiness of the headlines manager but weakness of institution foundation which isn't shielded from the vulnerability.
