This trend started by Saul Alinsky in the United States of America in 1971. In his famous book ‘Rules for Radicals,’ he says that “encourage grievances of the people”. Now, this principle is widely utilizing mostly by politicians, mainstream media and activists in all countries around the world. Spreading fear and anxiety for nothing but business, popularity and money are the worst inhuman activity that a person can do.
In the above story, there is an infinite difference between ‘kidnapping’ and ‘absconding’. Missing children is not kidnapping but leaving home by their own decision. Fact is only 0.4 % (11) of children is being kidnapped out of missing 2342 children in 2019 in Kerala. That means only 11 children kidnapped in Kerala in 2019. Most of them are not based on any mafia or organised crime. Manorama cheated people by including absconding children to kidnapped children to get high media coverage through sensation. Look at the title of the story ‘Kidnapping of children are increasing’. Think it how tricky it is.
It is so sad that whether a child absconding or kidnapping, but misleading people for business motive is a dangerous thing.
Breaking News culture in news TV channels make difficulty to distinguish which news is important or not. Now, every news is breaking news neither it is important or has any news value. They need to influence and attract people emotionally to their business. Always, breaking news culture will reach a plateau level that terribly affects the emotions of the people, which causes to transform people having no emotions to any incidents around them. It will dangerously affect empathy and sympathy of people, which make difference human from robots.
However, it is appreciable that some local news channels have no such issues. Most of them are reporting the news without utilizing sentiments of people like mainstream Media. Purpose of the Medias often violated by mainstream Media. Mainstream Media have done many contributions to humanity, but now they deviated from purpose to profiteering and agenda.
Now, people are enjoying this emotionally packed news as an entertainment program rather than serials and cinemas. This trend silently affects the seriousness of the approach of people to different situations and incidents negatively. The humanity of the people is being negatively affected by this kind of wrong cognitive learning in terms of psychology. If people are being stimulated continuously based on their emotions for the long term, altruism or helping mentality of people will be affected and reduced gradually.
Here, people need to be equipped with think critically and analyses properly with both sides of the incidents and news. Then should come to a final analysis. Otherwise, people will not find truth and fact. Victimization and manipulation of news by mainstream Media are erasing slowly the meaning and the purpose of life, which God wants from people and society around the planet earth.

Background
Most profitable marketing and business strategy in the present era of the modern generation are to generate anxiety among people and make profiteering out of that. Leading anxiety profiteering makers are Mainstream Media, politicians and activists. They are cunningly deceiving people and making personal or business gain on the issues facing by people in society. Mostly, anxiety business among mainstream media is dangerous and invisible to common people. Common people watch, read, listen and hear news from mainstream Media in an innocent manner. They trust Medias and news more than anything. This innocence and trust of the common people are widely misused for the marketing strategy to increase the rating of programs on the TV channel and in the Newspapers.This trend started by Saul Alinsky in the United States of America in 1971. In his famous book ‘Rules for Radicals,’ he says that “encourage grievances of the people”. Now, this principle is widely utilizing mostly by politicians, mainstream media and activists in all countries around the world. Spreading fear and anxiety for nothing but business, popularity and money are the worst inhuman activity that a person can do.
Analysis of this news
It is unfortunate that Mainstream Media like Manorama utilising weakness of people’s emotional sensation for making a profit out of that. Spreading fear and anxiety of the public by making fake and half-truth stories.In the above story, there is an infinite difference between ‘kidnapping’ and ‘absconding’. Missing children is not kidnapping but leaving home by their own decision. Fact is only 0.4 % (11) of children is being kidnapped out of missing 2342 children in 2019 in Kerala. That means only 11 children kidnapped in Kerala in 2019. Most of them are not based on any mafia or organised crime. Manorama cheated people by including absconding children to kidnapped children to get high media coverage through sensation. Look at the title of the story ‘Kidnapping of children are increasing’. Think it how tricky it is.
It is so sad that whether a child absconding or kidnapping, but misleading people for business motive is a dangerous thing.
News in Kerala and around the world
There around 15 news channels in 590 km long small state, Kerala. It is completely unnecessary for the limited news market in Kerala. All 15 news channels are competing with each other for increasing viewership by playing and selling emotions of the people to increase horribly unbalanced profit. Truthfully, people are not aware of the fact that they are being deceived. It is a very important matter that everyone should know about ‘News is not a fact or truth, it is a story of an incident described by a reporter based on their personal interest and business motives'. Every mainstream News media houses in the world including Kerala have their own agenda including profiteering.Breaking News culture in news TV channels make difficulty to distinguish which news is important or not. Now, every news is breaking news neither it is important or has any news value. They need to influence and attract people emotionally to their business. Always, breaking news culture will reach a plateau level that terribly affects the emotions of the people, which causes to transform people having no emotions to any incidents around them. It will dangerously affect empathy and sympathy of people, which make difference human from robots.
However, it is appreciable that some local news channels have no such issues. Most of them are reporting the news without utilizing sentiments of people like mainstream Media. Purpose of the Medias often violated by mainstream Media. Mainstream Media have done many contributions to humanity, but now they deviated from purpose to profiteering and agenda.
Victimization is not a good idea
Result of all these influences from Medias, Politicians and Activists causes to people to think that they are victimized by something. This tendency of thinking pattern of people eventually leads to blame-shifting of everything happened to them to society. This trend never sorts out the problems and it causes to increase the level of frustration and anxiety.Now, people are enjoying this emotionally packed news as an entertainment program rather than serials and cinemas. This trend silently affects the seriousness of the approach of people to different situations and incidents negatively. The humanity of the people is being negatively affected by this kind of wrong cognitive learning in terms of psychology. If people are being stimulated continuously based on their emotions for the long term, altruism or helping mentality of people will be affected and reduced gradually.
Here, people need to be equipped with think critically and analyses properly with both sides of the incidents and news. Then should come to a final analysis. Otherwise, people will not find truth and fact. Victimization and manipulation of news by mainstream Media are erasing slowly the meaning and the purpose of life, which God wants from people and society around the planet earth.
Fight with understanding and wisdom
Fight in life is between Good and Evil. So that we need to distinguish the good from the Evil. Mainstream Media, politicians and activists never help to understand the good and give the wisdom to know the truth. People must develop an understanding ability and get the wisdom to fight properly in life.
