Is This 'Reporting' Or Sycophancy?

Is This 'Reporting' Or Sycophancy?

Hyderabad: A prominent English daily flashed a photograph today of Nizamabad MP Kavitha touching her father’s feet and taking his blessings on her birthday, yesterday.

Now such photographs are only carried to create an impression that she is an obedient daughter to her father and that it is a family that shows respect for our values.

In other words, manipulation of the public mind. Why do newspapers need to carry these images like a daily-soap opera? This is not reporting but forwarding an agenda for pecuniary benefits.

And by the way, if one were to look at the image, it is hard to know whether she is touching her father’s feet or inspecting the floor.

The photographer could have done a better job. But he may have been carried away by the moment, at the display of affection between father and daughter.
