Congress is silently acknowledging it over-read verdict of last general election. You can see it in easy concession to SP. It will likely be more reasonable in Maharashtra & Jharkhand.
A good write. Refreshing. Here is my piece – “views are personal”!
There is no problem with the Indian Media. Indian media is the problem!
There is a propensity in the India media to repeatedly paint a gloomy picture of the Nation especially on its economy. This may be due to a false sense that being overly critical is being erudite. The result is a plethora of sagacious “advice” to the Governments about policies and right things the right way – as if always only they know what is right for the Nation. In the process the few who follow the media are left confused.
In the real mainstream media too it is increasingly becoming difficult to distinguish a journalist from an activist. There days a new crop of “experts” also come out with opinions and advice to Governments on all and sundry and the media afford them place with an “views are personal” tag. Ridiculous. The digital media, at least The Print, has afforded us to say our (use any adjective) piece too. As they say in Tennis – “Deuce”. But that does not obviously sustain.
The trouble here is that, the digital media, affords any one to play any ball on to any court – invasion of “turfs” shall we say? “Free” whatever at its best!!! So thankfully the influence of mainstream media is on the decline – good or bad? The jury is still out.
No mention of the “non-tabloid” NDTV and that self certified”gold standard of journalism” India Today? So even you have stopped watching them? Et tu Brutus?
Just as Ambani, Adani, Tata, Birla and other business houses cannot have the same business strategy the different medias cannot be expected to have a common editorial strategy. Just as all businesses swear by the high ethics but do cut corners, all the media outlets claim to be fair and unbiased but do eventually lean one way or the other. FOR ANY BUSINESS PROFIT IS COMPLUSION FOR SURVIVAL.
Running strategy, of X or Y down may be a good sales pitch but is beyond the realm of a journalism.
News and views is what we the readers look for, on events and ideas not on individuals.
I completely agree with the author that for last few years lot of shouting, accusing, screaming has been going on in a few media channels specially Republic Tv. I want to listen to what Arnab Goswami has to say. But I cant watch his channel for more than 2 minutes! Its trash at its worst. Its a tragedy, because he is usually speaking in national interest. Now, in all the rest of things I completely debunk this so called article from this so called journalist. Just because NDTV doesnt shout, makes them the beacon of media? It is the most biased, anti Govt, anti India channel that I have seen. 24 hour cribbing against the Govt, against arguably the most popular PM we have seen is nauseating. NDTV has not presented or reported 1 positive news story about various measures undertaken by this Govt. When Modi built toilets they cribbed about lack of water. When provided Jan Dhan accounts NDTV cried. Schemes like Saubhagya, Ujjwala were blanked out from NDTV studios. When BJP won 303 seats it seemed as if someone had died in NDTV studios. Those people who said India should be broken were hailed as champions of free speech by NDTV. In fact one NDTV reporter even taunted the whole nation after pulwama by asking this grieving country ‘How’s the Jaish’? I am not surprised this this author said not one word about all this. Because You see, this website, these so called ‘journalists’ are from the same pack as NDTV. They might change their names to The Print OR The Wire Or NDTV but they remain the same. Last but not least, You commented about your favourite media channels ‘having their ear to the ground’. I must disagree again. If You lot had Your ear to the fround You would have seen 4 consecutive Gujarat Victories, 2 full majority Gov at centre with 282 and whopping 303 seats. A 2/3rd majority in UP. If You lot have Your ear to the ground (I hope that ‘ground’ extends beyond Shaheen Bagh), can You hear what noises are coming from Bengal? Can You? I have my ear to the ground also and I hear ‘Dilp Ghosh coming…Dilip Ghosh coming….’ Can You hear? Just by writing these nonsensical articles You can do nothing now!
