Remember, America’s ex-president Bush; a shoe was hurled at him by a Muslim journo during the Iraqi visit. But, that was just a starting! After that, so many premiers, ministers, etc, have had to face the wrath of shoe hurling journalists time and again. Recently, Chidambaram, the Indian Home Minister and a financial mastermind, have to face the wrath of a shoe-hurling Sikh journalist while he is attending a press conference. Journalists, all over the world, are enjoying this shoe-hurling game on most prestigious persons and are celebrating the same by printing, broadcasting, podcasting, etc. Nobody is condemning this practice.
Journalists are educated people and are in a responsible profession to spread the truth. If these guys/gals started doing this kind of nasty activities just like an uneducated Tarzan in the jungle, then what can the world expect from these people. Being an educated responsible person, you are expected to show your contempt in a professional manner. If any other person does the same thing, being a journalist, you go and ask hundreds of questions and not satisfying with the answer you receive, you start deducing your own assumptions and conclusions on the matter. Now, you as a responsible person in this society and do this kind of horrible and disgusting things, do you think you will be shot into fame and garlanded for your abominable acts. A sincere NO!
This blog suggests a severe punishment for all journalists who threw shoes at respective people in an act against their decorum.
