THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan criticised that the central government is completely ignoring Kerala and the media is not raising its voice against it. The trend of the media becoming a part of the controversial industry by giving false news is increasing. There is a trend now of giving only the news that suits them. Corporates are taking over the media sector en masse. When corporate dominance comes to the media sector, the public interest is harmed, the Chief Minister said.
There are media outlets that have said 'Jee Bhu Bha' for the Kerala budget without mentioning the central budget. The media has come under corporate control. The centre has made the media its megaphone. A central minister even insulted Kerala. How many media outlets were there to respond to that? The Chief Minister also asked how many media outlets wrote editorials on it.
