What happened to Indian journalism?

This is a question that I have been asking myself SEVERAL times over. Each time I read any Indian magazine or newspaper in fact. But this glaring example of  biased and shoddy journalism is just too hard for me to not rant about.

So the big news of today is how these poor Indian parents are being victimized by the US government by placing their child in Child Protective Services (CPS).  Many news articles are clearly taking this stance. IBNLive goes one step ahead by even making the headline biased, "US denies Indian parents access to their child". The back story: a child fell from the bed (according to the parents) and they took him to the hospital. Upon examination, the doctors believed that the child also has injuries that are consistent with excessive and intentional shaking of the child. So they reported the parents to CPS. 

WHY IS THE CPS WRONG IN TAKING THE CHILD AWAY??

Indian culture as a whole has two traits that I don't agree with:

1) Ghar ki baat ghar main rehne do (family affairs should be dealt within the family):

While diminishing, this attitude is still largely prevalent. If the examination happened in India, it would be very normal for the doctors to sweep the matter under the rug because it is "a family matter". While I have no actual research or numbers to support this claim, I am strongly believe that this is a huge factor for many family-abuse related cases going unreported. 

2) Excessive Melodrama

Ekta Kapoor's whole life success is based upon tapping this trait of ours. We don't need a valid reason to create unnecessary hype and melodrama. This whole episode has become a gut-wrenching tale of a poor hapless child being separated from his devastated parents. It's not. It's a story of two parents who may not have met the standards of parenting required by the country that they live in. If the child was being shaken, the government is not at fault for giving the child a safer environment. But no, we as a country love to dramatize everything. The Indian government is involved for god's sake. According to the opinion of my friends living in Australia, the whole Australian racial attacks started off as a few random muggings. Once the second Indian got mugged, we raised hell about a pattern and made it worldwide news. This prompted actual racial attacks cos apparently WE made it a thing! 

Now, I know the pitfalls of the foster system and how the child may have better off with the Indian parents. This debate is not about that. It's about the attitude of the Indian media towards reporting an event in a clearly biased manner instead of merely reporting the facts. I also know that comparison to the Norway incident will be made. But that was a totally different incident. Some news channel (that I have never heard of before) called newsx reports, "In a shocking virtual replay of the Norway custody case..". Seriously guys? That kid was eating with his hands. This kid had internal damage to his body. And in both situations, we Indians are the victims because that's a role we freaking love to play. 

P.S. To give credit where it is due, The Hindu's report was unbiased and kept up to the standards that it is known for.
