Plenty of Action, no nothing to report

The week proved to be quite exciting for newspapers. Indians managed a comprehensive win in South Africa, Jessica Lall case finally ended with Justice done, Asian games ended, Lalu got acquitted in disproportionate assets case, Discovery had another launch and so on.
On personal front, or rather my professional front, new developments taking place which I'll update on once things clear up. Suffice to say that a city change is strongly in making for me and that should be exciting.
All in all an eventful few days. Still I hardly had anything insightful to say so kept quiet. After all whats the fun in a news blog posting? As it is we have a surfeit of news in our lives even if its mere salacious fact/opinion reading that mostly goes for news on our news channels. But then why not? Why should I decide what should be reported and what not? If the majority find it boring, they won't watch/read it and the media house go out of business.
Even blogging has this crisis of confidence. Many people pass sarcastic comments as to how Blogosphere is now mostly a teen diary capturing details of teeth brushing in morning and brand of chocolate eaten in the night. I wonder why should it not be so. So long as no one is forcing me to read any particular blog, why not take it as a rather harmless channelization of excess energy? It harms no one and at least the writer sleeps well in the night after the post.
The question is really fundamental. Should 'taste' or 'goodness' be defined by someone or a group or even the majority for everybody. Especially in something like print on web were you only pick up what you choose to see. Yes there is noise that comes across which one can filter. Why not let individual freedom range unhindered at least here?
