Perfectly said, Barkha Dutt is the most stuipid, corrupt, baised and nonsense Journalist of Indian Media. She works only for money and fame.That Lady reporter in "Peepli Live" had perfectly portrayed the character of Barkha Dutt. :D
 
As mentioned in the original article, the entire media is rotten. I have always believed that the worst institution in India is media/journalism, it is worse than bureaucracy, judiciary and politics. These people will say anything against the people/country for the sake for a few rupees or some favours. Rann, RGV's movie showcased their dirt pretty well.
 
It has been many years since I watched a news channel for more than 2 minutes (except for gadget and automotive programs) and I proudly say that. India will be far better country to live in without scumbags like our journalists.
 
See, the article only mentions this somewhere - "U r not guilty until proven". So if the paper goes ahead to pass its judgment, i think the next day onwards, paper will go off streets. Thats the dictatorship of Congi rule.
err, i don't think thats been established as yet. Post more articles about this so called 'dictatorship of Congi' rule.

Else theres ample proof obtained recently that can land that fellow in a serious trouble.
We will see what the result of the court case will be.

The paper has already borne the brunt of being fair during the Anti graft movement.
For ten days apparently and no longer.

U can only imagine what cud happen, if it dares to cross the line. :P
I don't know where that line is, the comments by the DAVP person do not inspire much confidence though.

Every effort will be made to hush up the list.
Problem with this is how to tell. Let see what happens.

Remember when Barkha Dutt's name appeared in Radia tapes, everybody ganged up to defend her.
I was one of them, the idea of a mere journalist being able to influence politial situations was far fetched. A go between maybe, but thats was about it. Problem is those tapes are inconclusive and are mostly grist for the mill. Yes you can suspect anything you want but going further will not be possible. Course if you're biased and have already made up your mind then it will be easier. There's loads of Barkha haters out there who do not realise that their obvious position weakens further anything they have to say about her.

Barkha also silenced Chaitanya Kunte by starting legal proceedings against him, when he wrote facts. .
Blame the libel laws for that. This is one reason why i'm against them.

Search for "shoddy journalism", the first result is about the great journalism of Barkha.
I wouldn't use the word shoddy wrt to Barkha. I think she's too nice to be able to get at the truth. If she was more a bitch then it would have been better.

It has been many years since I watched a news channel for more than 2 minutes (except for gadget and automotive programs) and I proudly say that. India will be far better country to live in without scumbags like our journalists.
Heh, and yet how is it you feel confident to actually criticise all the media and journalists ?
 
@blr_p: I don't want to waste my time who believes that journalists in India are any good. The whole country knows about them, some people just don't want to face the truth.

"A go between" - an easy way to describe something terribly unethical! Earlier, I had seen the moral high ground that these journalists used to take. Where is that morality in the face of these exposes?
 
err, i don't think thats been established as yet. Post more articles about this so called 'dictatorship of Congi' rule.

Do i need to post links for that? What were u doing in the past 6 months???

The moment someone stands up against Congress, that person is the Worst person ever living in the World!

Before June 4, the MPs & Ministers used to visit Baba Ramdev's shivirs. They all were praising him like anything. They also went to escort him to the airport at Delhi. And all of a sudden, after June 4, he became so bad, that theres all sorts of investigations going on around him. They havent been able to trouble him, thats a different story.

Until Annaji were not directly up against the centre, no 1 saw anything wrong with him. But the moment he started to raise his voice, he became "The most corrupt man on the earth, who is corrupt from head to toe?" Where were these same people, when Annaji did that corruption? Why didnt they point out at that time?

Arvind Kejriwal.......the matter that was pending since 2007/8, suddenly was brought up, JUST BEFORE THE FAST WAS SCHEDULED? If they claim he was wrongly paid, then whose mistake it is? Whose responsibility it is to check that the employee is still an employee or not?

These are a few glimpses of the Dictatorship of Congi rule.

We will see what the result of the court case will be.

Yeah, u r confident, coz u know Chidu will pay a hefty price to that Italian, who will then wave a magical wand over that RAT, who will in turn direct that SC cant intervene & then bring out his puppets - the CBI to investigate the case. And even before the investigation, they have the reports ready which mention "Chidu is clean".
CBI is nothing but Congress Bachao Institution. If ur party has guts, then ask it to take the challenge & allow the SC to direct, independently. Next day, ur Home Minister will be in his rightful Home with his Partners in crime in Tihar........thats of course with a royal treatment, that he didnt get even as Home Minister!
 
now the only way a fair investigation can be done against chidu is by SC creating a neutral SIT to probe the charges against him. otherwise forget cbi or any other govt organisation whose boss is chidu to even start an investigation against their boss.

Where did I say 'journalists in India are good' ?

They are mediocre for the most part, you can tell that because when you read or listen to them you have more questions than answers or your blood pressure rises. Thats a sure sign of bad reporting. For me if they were good i would have answers to the questions raised. That i get more with foreign media than i do with indian media.

On tv there is very little that is good, the bulk is fomulaic fortunately i know with whom to spend my time with and ignore the test.

"A go between" - an easy way to describe something terribly unethical! Earlier, I had seen the moral high ground that these journalists used to take. Where is that morality in the face of these exposes?
I'll accept unethical :)

There's supposed to be stds and the media is supposed to be self-policing but the impression is created that they don't take that too seriously. The problem is they take us for granted and they can do that because the industry isn't as competitive as it is abroad. Only remedy here is more leaks.

And liberalisaiton of the news industry, allow foreign competitors in and allow them to bring out India edtiions of their product. You will see change but as is the usual case the media here will cry foul and say news & current affairs is a 'strategic industry' and we cannot open it up to anybody. Keeping foriegners out allows thelow level low to endure.

Are you saying if the BJP were in the centre things would be different ?

Do you believe my CM will go to jail ? to believe that one has to also believe he is guilty. But thats now how the system works. The charge has to be backed up first otherwise he is free to go. He is in court only because there is a prima-facie case, nothing more.

Before June 4, the MPs & Ministers used to visit Baba Ramdev's shivirs. They all were praising him like anything. They also went to escort him to the airport at Delhi.

Why do you think that was.

Until Annaji were not directly up against the centre, no 1 saw anything wrong with him. But the moment he started to raise his voice, he became "The most corrupt man on the earth, who is corrupt from head to toe?" Where were these same people, when Annaji did that corruption?

Std dirty tricks. Nothing stuck. that is the point.

These are a few glimpses of the Dictatorship of Congi rule.
Give more examples, open to anybody btw. Lets see you actually make the case rather than merely insiniuate. Any fool can do that.

Yeah, u r confident, coz u know Chidu will pay a hefty price to that Italian, who will then wave a magical wand over that RAT, who will in turn direct that SC cant intervene & then bring out his puppets - the CBI to investigate the case. And even before the investigation, they have the reports ready which mention "Chidu is clean".
CBI is nothing but Congress Bachao Institution.

no i'm not confident of anything but I have doubts he will be caught for anything. The worst that might happen is he will have to step down as home minister. This means he does not go to Tihar. I've yet to see any strong evidence to show otherwise. early days still.

If ur party has guts, then ask it to take the challenge & allow the SC to direct, independently. Next day, ur Home Minister will be in his rightful Home with his Partners in crime in Tihar........thats of course with a royal treatment, that he didnt get even as Home Minister!
Can you make your points without insinuating who 'my party' is whatever that means.

Who says they will not take the challenge, this case isn't going to be shut down. All they are doing is blocking, std practice. Whether you will actually win the case is an entirely different question but you will have your day in court.

now the only way a fair investigation can be done against chidu is by SC creating a neutral SIT to probe the charges against him. otherwise forget cbi or any other govt organisation whose boss is chidu to even start an investigation against their boss.
This is the general impression, so this case will illustrate very clearly why an independent ombudsman is required.
