On any given day, the two channels are practically mirror images of each other, with similar headlines, reports and opinion. But this issue broke that tradition.
In both ‘#24October with Arnab’ & ‘#Oct24WithTimes Now’, Haryana-Maharashtra results will be hailed as “historic” BJP win, Congress will be dumped into graveyard.
Why Modi needs such TV exposure when this week’s opinion polls on Times Now, NewsX and Tiranga TV give him a comfortable win in elections, only he can tell.
Just like Phase 3, in this round too, the NDA stands to lose ground due to the sheer number of seats it had won the last time — 39 of the 49 seats, of which the BJP alone had won 32.
India’s defence sector is trying to penetrate the African market. But with China already extending significant influence, India must now play catch-up.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
BBC does news? Then maybe Al-Jazeera does it too. You should see the propaganda on Kashmir from the BBC and nothing about Pak army’s atrocities in POK. This opinion piece is moronic, shut every news house and everything will be fine. You probably don’t watch DD News at all, yes it does not do criticism of the government because it is government-owned but it’s not shouting and people in debates and presents facts as news, not opinion.
Stupid article to kill competitors.
Channels like yours should be best placed in countries like China or North Korea, not in democratic India.
Note that news medias like The Print, Quint, The wire are all on the radar of many nationalists
Just because you dislike them you want to ban them? Does it not remind you of a popular leftist word “Authoritarianism”. Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC are not much different from the News media in India. Partisanship is common across the board all over the world. But of course, the author might not be aware because the “Right” in India has managed to level the playing field only recently. Anyways many of these Media houses are opportunists and choose to ride the pro-establishment wave. Nevertheless, in a democratic and capitalist regime, the ultimate fate of a news channel is decided by its viewers and not based on some random person’s dislikes.
We can also do without Print, Wire, Quint and the like. And, of course, Hindustan Times, TOI, The Hindu, Indian Express -all fake /one -sided news purveyors!
Indian journalists whether in print media or TV are no more news reporters. Now all we have are opinion peddlers who love to listen to their own voices of read their own writings. The guests etc are just a sideshow. Most if not all TV anchors would love to host shows where they ask questions and answer them as well. Most are almost there already the guests being just a nuisance.
First, a happy new year, Ma’am. You’re spot-on in every observation made. These debates have the power to ruin any person’s mood, his evening, his relationships. As always, I’m glad you haven’t spared anyone . I wish, though, that you had included references to anchors like Nidhi Razadan who gets emotionally attached to the victims (remember Gurmehar Kaur interview), or anchors like Rajdeep Sardesai who choose to being either selectively quiet or compulsively interject, depending on the affiliation of the spokesperson. I agree, some change must come about. It can’t go on like that forever. Regards, best wishes.
24×7 news channels are the sole reason for the current mistrust across India’s state of affairs. All 24×7 news channels should be banned. Channels interested in news should be allowed to run bulletins for not more than 6 times a day. There should also be limits to covering politics.
Your views sounds little biased but content makes sense. My view is supreme must design guideline on (1) Freedom of speech (2) Various rights etc and it also include non biased news ( Do u really term BBC and CNN neutral ? )
Rather focus on Anchor , blame on participants who daily prefer for such debate and enjoy it.
I wish to give classic example…..I am from Ahmedabad and a concept of Shuttle auto which runs between specific points. These auto so not follow any traffic, driving rules. It ia high risk but each auto carry not less than 7-8 passengers !! Same like TV debate participants, no other work so enjoy participating and sharing rubbish views or even bear insults….
How sad is the intolerance level of the PRINT.
We live in a democracy. Everyone should have the liberty to watch and process what they feel like.
THE PRINT is such an example of hypocrisy. Never read anything positive regarding any progress in the country through them. According to them, India is on a constant decline curve right from the day NDA came to power. And people who oppose them become Modi-bhakts.
Thank you for saying what you have said. .Any neutral person without any vested interest would agree with you.But who would listen to people like you ?
Ho w will Modi win election then, if there is no propaganda machine run by his pro-Hindu extremist mouthpiece media? Or how can India’s corrupt and rogue military plunder the wealth of the nation in the name of running fake stories about terrorist attacks and fake surgical strikes?
Totally agree with the views..not many in young generation are willing to listen such one sided news.
CNN and BBC are good examples, where hourly bulletin are showcased rather than endless drama aired for an entire day, which could be presented in a single line statement.
May be some startup like huffington post in US, could actually start with a portal and later launch online news channel to fix this thing.
Also media houses should be shifted from delhi n mumbai and should cover the entire nation
Itna intolerance kis liye bhai thoda tumse alag view rakhne walo ko bhi bardash karna sikho, 2-3 ke hone se hi tumhara propaganda nahi chala pa raha kya? Jaha vandematram communal hai aur jihad secular, waise tum leftist librandu se tolerance ki asha karna bhi pagalpan hai.
kitna jhut bolega kattarpanthio kaa dalali kab tak korega print fake media Ndtv nehi Raandi tv vardwaa Khavish dalal

Get your left wing bullshit out of mainstream Indian media first, then talk about others.

Poor article. Only to stay in the limelight.
Stupid article to kill competitors.

Lol ndtv never gives time for bjp people
unsolicited suggestion, indeed.
Had removed all this from my airtel TV plan long ago…..
what about that anti indian channel NDTV…………………….
First in the list should be NDTV which unfortunately is missing due to your selective blindness

There is a choice not to watch these channels .Why are you watching ?

Just re-read the article. Correction, you have referred to the anchors mentioned in my previous comment
Yes ofcourse you pseudo seculars would love the journalism of UPA era. That’s no surprise…
Well, save your aes first.
Wow so much urge for infinite control that if you cannot control abolish it??

Like in other TV shows this is also not original. They are simply following the fox news anchors.
We truly appreciate all the effort you have to put in to watching the news channels of India. We gave up long ago.
How sad is the intolerance level of the PRINT.

Well said. Blasted bro
Thank you for saying what you have said. .Any neutral person without any vested interest would agree with you.But who would listen to people like you ?
A wonderful piece of writing. Thanks very much.
And what about NDTV???
No takers for your opinion. You are a coward as You have not given option of dislike . We ignore your opinion completely.thanks
