In episode 508 of #CutTheClutter, ThePrint’s Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta said Prasar Bharati’s threat to the PTI over its reportage is outrageous, wrong and unfair.
The move by Prasar Bharati comes following a demand from people for a re-run of Ramanand Sagar's Shri Krishna, which was first aired in 1996 on Doordarshan.
Prasar Bharti has time and again accused foreign media of “biased” and “fake” reportage, with CEO Vempati saying such coverage creates wrong perception of India.
The broadcast body tweeted that The Wall Street Journal’s Eric Bellman was being deported for ‘anti-India behaviour’ but MEA stepped in to say no such action was being taken.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar is up against Shashi Tharoor in Thiruvananthapuram. He’s marketing himself to a state that has traditionally radiated contempt for the BJP.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
Coaching centres for Army aspirants in Jhunjhunu are shutting down due to plummeting admissions in the face of a lack of job guarantees under Agnipath Scheme.
There was a time when India – like many other developing countries – required foreign aid. That included shipments of PL 480 wheat from the United States. That was a time when we yearned for Self reliance, which for me took the form of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Today’s India has been self reliant since before the median Indian was born. 2. We should now think of self reliance in terms of an economy that still requires foreign capital and technology but which can service all its obligations without default, which has been the proud record so far. In the realm of foreign policy and national security, a country that is not a camp follower, pursues strategic autonomy, knowing who its friends and adversaries are. 3. Cutting through the clutter, self reliance should not be code for import substitution. Opting out of RCEP was a painful moment for the economy and the Act East component of foreign policy. The post Covid global economy will not be kind to the also rans.
Shri Vir Sanghvi has tweeted : I have yet to meet a single person who trusts Doordarshan news or has any faith in Parasar Bharati’s commitment to the truth. Unclear what useful purpose is served by sustaining – at huge cost to the taxpayers – this edifice of pure propaganda. For that matter, a similar sweeping statement could also be made for the Godi media.
So The Print will sell Chinese propaganda to Indians, in the guise of putting journalism ahead of nationalism,
