Joining hands with criminals like Amway, Shame on you press

Amway has been, beyond reasonable doubt, proved to be indulging in unlawful activities. Yet, the so-called Fourth Estate has become so short-sighted that it begs the law-violators to become sponsors of their activities. It is no secret that the media survives on advertisements only. But it used to judiciously exercise its option to raise its revenues. Of late, probably due to the acute cut-throat competition and growing over-head expenses, it is indulging in all types of activities to fill its pockets.

The latest is the painting competition at Vijayawad organised by Eenadu group and sponsored by Amway. It is apt to recall here that Eenadu has published many stories about the nefarious activities of Amway. Yet it falls flat on its belly for sponsorship accepting the tainted money from Amway. For a giant like Eenadu group is it necessary. It is high time the media made some introspection and act accordingly.
