Lesser people of Haiti!

Thousands of people were killed in Haiti by the ‘catastrophe of major proportions'. The earthquake was of 7.3magnitude in Rictor scale. Now there is no electricity, no water and nothing. Only a very few have survived the calamity. Nevertheless, the Indian visual media did not give much importance to Haiti tragedy. They continued cheering people by screening their usual soap opera when Haiti was in utter dismay. If the calamity of such a monstrous proportion was in any of the developed countries this would not be the attitude of the media. For them the people of any impoverished country are lesser men.

Haiti is the poorest country with eighty per cent of its population living below the poverty line. Media documented it by their shunning approach.
