The Centre failed to defend Indian territory along the LAC, but the only pressure on the Modi govt appears to come from a set of journalists & analysts.
In an interaction with ThePrint’s Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta at the 100th edition of Off the Cuff, best-selling author Amish Tripathi spoke about the Ram...
Shweta Singh Kirti posted a brief note on her social media handles, requesting PM to look into Sushant's death case and ensure that there is no tampering with the evidences.
If PM Modi had launched ‘surgical’ and air strikes to punish Pakistan in 2016 and 2019, his ministers are now outdoing him in pounding China with verbal strikes.
If handled astutely, the crisis affecting lakhs of poor labourers can help Congress corner Modi govt and come out of a deep rut of political irrelevance.
Economic slowdown, bank failures, communal riots have been forgotten as Modi has placed himself front & centre of India’s virus fight & bolstered his image as a world leader.
Order for 87 MALE drones will be split between 2 Indian firms in 64:36 ratio to ensure there are 2 independent manufacturing lines with at least 60% indigenous components.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
Pathetic the writer views totally biased without any evidence appears to be paid to write the article by vested interests as it lacks conviction and credibility
When lutyen, jnu, leftisit, liberals, Door Darshan all praised Nehru Gandhi Dynasty, glorified them, it was all fine and considered natural and important. When we were in school, all we studied was about dynasty and everything good about them and how great they were. Where was this author then ? they are crying now as no one cares for them.
Look at this hypocrite presstitute, Shivam Vij, complaining how others of his tribe ply their trade. Every single rant of this presstitute screams eyeballs and click bait. And he talks of TRPs!
I am very much surprised that our dear RG has not come up with a video on the story of SSR . It is humble request to author of this article and other know-all journalists on his payroll and his advisers to advise RG to bring out some video on this topic to enlighten his valued views on the hottest topic, after Corona , of 2020 .
So Supreme court is also involved in pushing up TRP’s (read Sushant’s case). What will you do. You have 3 sq meals to fill up your bloated tummy and this is what you will sit and write and get paid. And The Print is shameless in advertising support journalism and seeking alms. You just go and beg on the streets of all the metropolis and what prevents you. Well I have mortgaged entire family jewels and paying monthly interest and struggling run my business and I don’t blame the government for it. Yet you guys shamelessly begging as if you are doing it for some kind of higher cause. Run your portal with your money. If you can’t go and beg on the streets and eat. It would be much more honourable and don’t run a facical show that you are doing it for something good for the people.
Article is absurd and one can smell the paid media content. If you think you can demean the intellect of masses you are on wrong path..think inside and foind out why indians (even NRIs) came forward to SSRs demand for CBI.
“apna zameer toh mach becho journalish ke liye”
Finally an article that speaks truth about the pro modi news channels. News channels today are nothing more than an episode of Big boss, atleast with Big boss, public knew it was scripted. After reading this article, felt like prehaps the spirit of good journalism in India is still not dead.
Yeah.. I knew that Modi and the news channels have a symbiotic relationship.. he provides ‘stories’ so that they do not have to cover the real news that matters! But coercing businesses to stop ads.. shutting down the satellite link because they disagree with the story.. that truly shocking.. that’s censorship by underhand means.. no wonder people still rate him super high.. a true statesman would allow a level playing field and still win the people’s approval.. the ones who cannot, change the circumstances illegally in their favour.!!
“TV news bends before Modi, crawls before TRP. We need institutional reform to tame the vulture.” Your news portal bends ,crawls before Antimodi gangs. Is not it true?
I have yet to see a more deranged guy than this blogger. The simple fact is that the Maharashtra Government and the Police were in the cover up exercise from the minute go. The media simply latched up a spicy stuff. Even this blogger got the opportunity to write some third grade stuff and make a couple of thousands of Rupees.
You guys want people to be helped out with your journalism, that’s fair. But to autoscroll the reader again and again to the link ‘help our journalism’ can be very annoying. If I couldn’t finish this article, I obviously won’t have an opinion. And I won’t pay for something I don’t know.
No your media team is also biased. Yes they are. Running an anti-Modi type of campaign and trying to do do things differently than other news media trying to show the out of box theory. But thats not correct everytime when actually not required. so better do not showcase yourself to be unbiased quality journalism.
Yaawn!
Stating the obvious about your profession. Give some solutions Shivam. Otherwise, this is simply click-bait by putting Modi’s name in the headline.
Says a lot more about how gullible and naive Indians are. Divide and rule worked for the British only in India – no other colony suffered partition when the British left – Singapore, Canada, Australia, USA, East Africa, Ceylon, Burma, Egypt – even Iraq are all intact. Trump tried distract and rule – today he is trailing in the polls and looks increasingly defensive. Modi is flying high in India with distract and rule aided by so called “news channels” which are in reality front for yellow journalism. Gullible Indians continue to lap up whatever these channels are dishing out unquestioningly and as a result the govt and news channel owners prosper but India suffers. Clear illustration of the saying that ‘the people get the govt they deserve.’
This is not Journalism, cheap narrative. Better come out something credible. It is nothing but you have an opinion and finding expalaination to convince it. And this same explanation you have given will apply Universally for all controversies eternally. Just change the names and the issue. Its fits every bloddy big story. Is this called journalism??? Better find some cheap ott platform to sell your story and try your luck.
Yes, it is quite true that the SSR story was a god-sent gift to the high- decibel TV News channels. But that is the nature of the the industry. Viewers have a choice what channels to watch and as per TRP ratings these high-decibel channels are the most popular ones. Whether non-story or not, the SSR episode provided free entertainment to the tired minds afflicted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The SSR story provided an easy escape route. Furthermore, it is not that the entire stuff that was being telecast was without substance. That the Mumbai police handled this case inefficiently has now become an established fact, the most prominent lapse being no mention of the approximate time of death in the Autospy Report. Any police official worth his salt would have noticed this glaring lapse. How did it go unnoticed? Now that the Judiciary had to step in and hand over the case to CBI, more lapses would be coming forth. Interestingly, to compensate this process, a few channels seems to have been hired by the opposite camp to spread a counter-narrative. How effective would be this counter-offensive would depend on the outcome of the investigation being carried out by CBI,
Yeah,
TRP surely matters more than anything or anyone else
Otherwise how come, on Prime Time news that too on Independence Day , that cool guy from a small town Ranchi stole the show and displaced NaMo.
That is the magic of MSD.
This article is as much a TRP driven article as the TV news channel who are focused on SSR Death case. only difference is that it’s appealing to the anti-Modi groups. Also, I think it’s unfair to complain about news channels for going after TRP driving new pieces. News channels don’t run by itself.
We don’t know if SSR death case will ever be solved, but at least Bollywood would see some change
You dimwit. You didn’t understand it is extremely well orchestrated campaign for Bihar (ashmita or whatever ) election. TRP is bound to follow when when you are dishing out a gladiatorial/ raw/ WWE kind of spectacle day after day.
Have anybody done survey how many percentage of people (like me) not recharging their DTH subscription for years now. DTH was primarily meant for NEWS. I moved to Netflix and youtube subscription.
Someone needed to stand up to the vultures, and I am glad Ms Rhea Chakraborty did exactly that. Took apart the flimsy case against her with forensic skill. Brought to mind that scene from Sholay where AB extols the virtues of his friend Dharmendra to Hema Malini’s mother : Misbehaves occasionally when he is dead drunk, gambles, womanises but is otherwise free of blemish. 2. By saying that SSR smoked marijuana regularly, took the sting out of the NCB investigation. Seeking psychiatric help as far back as 2013. Father not meeting son for five years. Sister living with him in the last week of his life and not picking up any signals that something was deeply amiss. Other sister behaving inappropriately while intoxicated. RC herself one week away from the date of death, no physical or other contact. No money trail of crores of rupees of diversion / embezzlement. 3. Some channels fill one with a sense of deep revulsion at the best of times. They have surpassed themselves in this case. Satish Maneshinde is a worldly wise lawyer. Would have told his client, You tug at the heart strings a little, undo the monochromatic narrative and public perception. In court, I will take the case apart.
Get off your sanctimonious high horse….were you an eyewitness, who can give testimony in this sordid saga.
Are you?
Pity that the author has to resort to an international newspaper to back his ‘pathetic’ argument and this tosh piece. The whole of India is not tied to a single person. Be mature. Think beyond Modi!!
Pathetic the writer views totally biased without any evidence appears to be paid to write the article by vested interests as it lacks conviction and credibility
Does this website has any genuine readers or everybody comes to criticize it in comments?
When lutyen, jnu, leftisit, liberals, Door Darshan all praised Nehru Gandhi Dynasty, glorified them, it was all fine and considered natural and important. When we were in school, all we studied was about dynasty and everything good about them and how great they were. Where was this author then ? they are crying now as no one cares for them.
good point
and who is the print’s god
and the print is Bikau media
Straight to the comments as the comments are more interesting than this so called journalists article .
Look at this hypocrite presstitute, Shivam Vij, complaining how others of his tribe ply their trade. Every single rant of this presstitute screams eyeballs and click bait. And he talks of TRPs!

Before 2014, TRP used to come by showing series of scams and routine terrorist attacks , bomb blasts by leftist islamic mafia.
Finally an article that speaks truth about the pro modi news channels. News channels today are nothing more than an episode of Big boss, atleast with Big boss, public knew it was scripted. After reading this article, felt like prehaps the spirit of good journalism in India is still not dead.
You and your ilk are writhing like fish out of water – because you are suffering from modi derangement syndrome. I am enjoying the sight of it.
Yeah.. I knew that Modi and the news channels have a symbiotic relationship.. he provides ‘stories’ so that they do not have to cover the real news that matters!

“TV news bends before Modi, crawls before TRP. We need institutional reform to tame the vulture.” Your news portal bends ,crawls before Antimodi gangs. Is not it true?
WhAt he will gain by bending in front of them
Could you please let us know what these so called anti Modi gangs can offer to media organizations like the print?
The author needs his mental health check up. If he is having a sound mind, he will not choose such a non sense subject to write.
After a long time I completely agree with Shivam Vij
Get well soon uncle , you need a good Dr.
I always agree with Shivam Vij …
I have yet to see a more deranged guy than this blogger. The simple fact is that the Maharashtra Government and the Police were in the cover up exercise from the minute go.

This is the most retarded and useless article I’ve ever seen
Don’t see then moron

So since when Net York Times has become the Gold Standard of Truth and Objectivity on anything concerning Modi’s India ?

You think india is people who view india today, times now, etc.?
Ja na lavde ..Modi hater chamcha
Tu mc hamesa modi ko gaali kyun deta hai..teri biwi ko pela tha kya
First.
Yeah,
TRP surely matters more than anything or anyone else
Otherwise how come, on Prime Time news that too on Independence Day , that cool guy from a small town Ranchi stole the show and displaced NaMo.
That is the magic of MSD.
Boo hoo hoo. Cry me a River. Everyone only covers Modi. Nobody pays attention to me despite my daily ranting. Boo hoo hoo. Sob
The author is a well-known Congress stooge

Coming from contributing editor at ThePrint! clap claps!
Are you on the payroll of Rhea Chakraborty or some low life drug peddler from Goa?
You dimwit. You didn’t understand it is extremely well orchestrated campaign for Bihar (ashmita or whatever ) election. TRP is bound to follow when when you are dishing out a gladiatorial/ raw/ WWE kind of spectacle day after day.
I would have called you a brave journalist, for swimming against the current BUT, your predilection for anti Modi narrative is the obstacle.
Based on a reading of this article I hereby declare that its author is suffering from depression.
What a beautiful eloquent article, more power to you. You have completely exposed Godi indian Media.
Have anybody done survey how many percentage of people (like me) not recharging their DTH subscription for years now. DTH was primarily meant for NEWS. I moved to Netflix and youtube subscription.

This author is a case in point of a failed pseudo-secular negative good-for-nothing turned journalist.
Go get a real job you moron.
