The Literary Canon Vs Barbaric ignorance by bunpeiris Written by B. UPUL N. PEIRIS, Sri Lanka In the beginning there was the word: the word that spreads as bush fire on this bloody day is not confined to a little known island in the east, but all around the world. A minority community, which has been unjustly subjected to so called racial discrimination, at last, being at the receiving end of their great patience & humanity takes up arms against the regime of the majority, David against Goliath. There goes the reporter’s sensationalized interpretation, a far cry from the truth. Once again, the history, as the wise say repeats. Blood is spread & thunder is heard. Murder is everywhere & mayhem is the order of the day: paradise lost. Ah! There lands John Milton. Ah! Milton goes to work. “How was that you gentleman in such haste managed to report the half a dozen of civilians killed in the crossfire between the defense forces & the terrorists while you failed to report the bloody massacre of half of that village, by the terrorists, just a couple of miles away? Asks our military spokesman from our just landed Milton. “Oh! We ran out petrol & there was no way of reaching there.” Replies Milton getting into stock answer barrel. Stock answer shock the listner. “The function of a good news paper & therefore of a good journalist is to see life steady & see it whole” James Fallows, former Carter Aide & & an editor of the Atlantic Monthly & author of Breaking news, comments: “ Seeing life steady means keeping the days events in proportion. Seeing it whole means understanding the connections of varied happenings”. He finds most of the world media dramatically lacking when measured against this simple standard. Far from seeing life steady, the media unsettles the conduct of the nation’s affairs; far from seeing it whole, it fractures reality into inconsequential bit & pieces.srilankaholidaysz.blogspot/2008/03/sri-lanka-holidays-literary-cannon.html
