The Angry Old Man vs Jackass Journalist

Well, leaving aside verbiage and trivia, what is the fundamental theme of the blog.
Media figures like Mr. Bachchan and Rajeev Masand ought to do what the public wants. Whether its Mr Bachchan's movie preferences or Masand's tweets.
If they consistently follow this approach, What shall become of these people. They will become like Robots in the hands of majority; or more specifically, those who claim to represent public opinion. Their own values and judgments therefore becomes irrelevant.
In a free country I am yet to encounter such consistent beings(SRK does it most of the times).... maybe somebody here can help??

I appreciate your line of thinking. Thanks for the valued views.
History of revolutionizing creative endeavors bears testimony to the power of independent judgments.
More so, this is true for Bollywood.
Movies like Sholay, QSQT, Satya, DCH revolutionized film making. R.D Burman and A.R Rehman transformed music.
All these were the result of realizing one's own sensibilities.... not going by the public opinion or polls!
