Patriotic Indian Medias?

We've all come across images and videos of Indian flag being hoisted upside down at ASEAN Summit in Malaysia through various news on so called "Patriotic" TV News Channels and Social Medias. As most of you people in India I also felt annoyed at watching at those images.

But after going through some of the comments on Facebook I realized that most of the media houses just want some sensational news. They really don't have anything to do with patriotism by pointing out the mistake of our flag being wrongly hoisted.

If they were to really love our country so much they would've pointed the mistake out to authorities and make the correctly hoist the flag. As all the Indian media persons would've been in that room where the handshake happened at least 10-15 minutes before the event, They would've had ample time to sort out the things.

We'll assume those media persons were to just point out how neglect our government officials are, then also we have to remember that the event didn't happen in India. It happened in Malaysia and all those decoration works must've carried out by Malaysian people. So there's no way to blame Indian officials for the goof-up.

Even if those arrangement are done by Indian officials. The media person may have reported the mistake to the officials after taking few photos for the news. Instead of just keeping their mouth shut all the way.

Also some people are blaming PM Modi for this goof-up. How can he be responsible for this? He just can't walk into every room to check everything is perfectly setup. Its like going to a company meeting and you're mistakenly given coffee without sugar and you blame your boss for the mistake.
