Whither media ethics?
In the latest episode of “Asathapovadhu Yaaru?” on Sun TV, a few of the participants were seen taking potshots at Vijay TV. Anyone following the show would know that the team working with Sun TV was previously involved with Vijay, which actually brought them to the fore in the first place. So to say, a lot of these people are familiar faces only because of Vijay TV. And yet, they don’t feel bad about taking cheap shots against that channel.
The only thought that was running through my mind was how my grandparents would have reacted to it. The one word they would have used is “thaanthondri”, which in Tamil, refers to people forgetting their roots and their past, and acting as if they originated all by themselves. Never a good thing.
Opinion might be divided on which channel’s show is better. I think Sun TV’s show is better, but they make it a little unpalatable because of these unwarranted potshots. After all, when you’re good, it shows. So why take the trouble and criticise the others?

Yeah. i too noticed it.. it was quite an open attack. both programmes are very good - hearty laughter and nalla timepass. Sethu’s presence and Sandhya’s absence tilt my preference towards vijay tv
I prefer Vijay TV KPC over Sun TVs APY. The way in which the Sun TVs APY participants talk ill about Vijay TV which paved a way to their glory and Suntv just had hijacked the whole team. But still KPC3 is doing good. Sun TV’s APY seem to contain more of adult related comedies and day by day its quality is deteroriating.
