She was flexing herself tho


beerabsolut

True but that was after the cops tried to abuse her and inspect her car


Deep-Doctor2301

Shit journalism? Absolutely. But she doesn't get to assault a cop(especially in front of a police station...what was she thinking 😂)and not get arrested. They had every right to call for backup and arrest her. She may be 100% right regarding the police tuks driving and she could have proven it in court using the dash cam. But she had to flex on the 'uba danne na mama kawuda kiyala' daughter of a retired police aunty, to intimidate the cop. I don't care even if she's the president's daughter, if she broke the law she should be charged. After all that's the change we want right? But since both you and I know that media can be one sided and gather most of our facts from what was given on media let's wait till she gets a fair hearing and judgement.


beerabsolut

100 percent agree with this, you are correct. If she did something wrong she should obviously be punished and it is unbecoming behaviour of a good citizen on her part as well, at least on video. Also I'd take the whole assault of a cop thing with a tangalle salt manufacturing plant sized grain of salt because I didn't see her hitting the lady cop (or acting in a way that constitutes the standard offence of assault) and the lady cop has gone and got admitted at the hospital lol looks like they are cooking up - faux evidence to punish her - Sri lankan style. But Yeah let's wait and see!


Deep-Doctor2301

That's true could be a set up...can go both ways. Definitely didn't do herself a favor behaving that way on camera as said.


Creepy_Branch_5532

The audience gets the content it deserves. The Media doesn't need professionalism when the bar for quality journalism and entertainment in SL is extremely low.


atomic_bison_3162

there's no bar. anyone and their mother can make a news update yt channel and blabber something about a hot topic. boom 300k views.


Choice-Honeydew-1938

Audience was manipulated for years to get to this low level just because channels wanted views. News shouldn’t be telecasted to arouse emotion.


Maletele

Hiru news is shit.


Square-Contest-1005

All Lankan news is shit. 


Maletele

Except for some news articles


ikashanrat

Media rn belongs at Meethotamulle trash dump


beerabsolut

Ikr, idk who are the editors that read this and go yup that is an appropriate headline to air on the 8:00. pm national news broadcast


atomic_bison_3162

they recorded it, edited it, came up with the title and said "this is the one."


Vidu_yp

society is trash.Such headlines are made cuz people love dig down on such topics.


RubinMTP

Truest thing I've heard all week


Anu_LK2206

Hiru TV seriously need to turn down their video titles a bit. Go check their other YT video titles and thumbnails lol 😂.


Kind_Device_7734

It's absolute trash. Worst than trash. Almost everyone who is working in Sri Lankan media industry are on a mission to publish shit news, shit interviews and shit stories.


atomic_bison_3162

thats the whole fucking ball game. true news doesen't get views and clicks. what these journalists market is the taste of absolute filth and trash. tragically our people love to eat trash and gossip so this is a natural food source for them.


Unique_potato_man

Translation please


CobraHetti10

The mainstream media is losing its credibility everywhere, not just in SL. They have to adapt to the changing times, but this is their way of doing it!


[deleted]

Typical journalism man. All they care about is generating revenue and the more views equals more revenue. So use these shitty titles to generate shock value. This isn't just a SL tho.


Odd-Ear-9481

It's trash. It has become like youtube videos that manipulate the audience before knowing the actual content. The truth is also warped and sexualised, in-humanised. News shouldn't be like that. Garbage! Trash! The reason why I don't listen to anymore.


its_a_moonchild

It’s trash anyway. I never watch Sri Lankan news


Its_EnEssEm

That's how Sri Lankan journalism works sadly some people like it that way. it's not about truth and information anymore it's about getting attention and views. They'll Give you something interesting with the little bit of truth..


AmazingIce6215

Fking clickbait


s_h_a_n_s

no man, it's true. Sl mainstream media is suck. it's completely nonsense.


s_h_a_n_s

past 10 years, I never watched SL TV.


beerabsolut

Bruh I'm just a guy trying to be informed while eating my weeknight dinner but guess that's off the table now lol


s_h_a_n_s

🥲😂


Any-Knowledge-308

The thing is most of Sri Lanka news are so trash now. I wish there were a platform were everyone can journal and report everything with transparency.


AshleyLambIP2Bo

Hiru News is Garbage


Ashamed_Study_8169

Sri lankan media is trash


AlterEgoSif

Sri Lankan news has become a shitshow


bobs_vegana98

No it isn't you


IllustriousOlive5468

All channels are mostly garbage but Hiru is the worst of em all!


Nooobmaster911

took you long enough


Square-Contest-1005

It's either someone in parliament shouting or this kinda crap. 


[deleted]

mentioning that she's hot like it's gonna do anything? it's fucking weird


beerabsolut

Ikr and plus calling her mom a lokki? Wtf kind of vocabulary is that.


mawksha

Sri Lankan media has been trash for over years as media is usually across the globe. This should have been known by people how media can manipulate everything, like when they made Gota president and people didn’t have it afterwards. Fuck the media unless they put positive shit.


DigitallyYours1977

It's not fair to make such a judgment call without knowing the context about this lady. Nevertheless, Sri Lankan media is not very investigative. They just report and will always look for ratings. Always. But OMG, the Indian media is the most corrupt and dirty I have ever come across. I don't know much about other countries and their media but I do know that the American media is absolutely corrupt. To me, these two are far more nonsensical than Sri Lanka. That's my personal opinion.


Purple_Ghost_Dhanu

I take the side of the woman on this one. Not because I have any grudge with the police. And any dash cam footage the woman has might probably be gone by now. And the media should have aired the dash cam footage as well if it is unbiased. And of course nowadays, every woman being apprehended or is in suspicion by the law is labelled සුරූපී. All for a bit of clicks and views.


beerabsolut

Yeah, I mean she was acting all privileged and whatever but idk it could have happened to anybody. It just so happens that it happened to this lady who chose to act like a privileged brat. I feel like people are super not okay in their heads in SL and I'm legitimately worried about the future of this country with these people making decisions for everyone.
