a lone reed against the tide

sometimes i hear & see the supposed to be great thinkers & writers of the nation(of the world , as a matter of fact,too) speak their mind regarding stuff (political, social,economical, blah blah blah) and most of the time i find some-one echoing somebody else. of course, there is no wrong in agreeing or disagreeing some other person but the thing is that they seem to be wary of what they speak (which i know they should be b'coz they r public figure) but what is it that they really feel? i mean, i sometimes find them simply to be "plastic"- like. may be i am wrong but i cant stop wondering ever since this particular event of CWG. yeah the media(particularly in India) have this habit of blowing everything out of proportion (like the headline "roof fell at the stadium" when it was just a few tiles that fell off!!!). so these public speakers, thinkers & writers they all know which direction the wind is blowing, so off they go in the same direction (well i cant deny the fact that most of the time it is right) to avoid slush of bad name by going against the MEDIA. i know i sound really prejudiced here but i cant agree anymore. i know things are not going right, the higher officials are not taking responsibilities, they are busy filling in their pockets(but who isn't in India?!) when such a crisis has happened but i as an individual feel that it's not right just to sit and see and play the blame game. i really am against these people who loot the nation and its innocent people but i am definitely not against  the game. i take pride in this game that is going to be hosted here in Delhi, India and even though i am totally against these pricks who is tarnishing the name of the nation in the international platform, i cannot just remain silent at the flabbergasted news of the media too who should, more or less, be taking responsibility of supporting the spirit of the game, take pride in the game but yes stand strongly against those corrupt officials.
