Media showing only govts negative side: Sibal,Azad

Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad wondered if journalists should be imported from the US and UK to write about the good works that the UPA was doing over the years like building roads,schools and hospitals. Going a step further,Sibal said the media was promoting unbridled consumerism and argued that it was leading to corruption. The fourth estate should be part of construction and not demolition, Azad said advising the media to keep the nations interests in mind because they are Hindustanis too.

The ministers,who were addressing a joint press conference at the Congress headquarters here,said the audio-visual media was spreading negativity round the clock and defaming individuals.
