Media Monster

For the last two days I have been watching this programme on the news channels about
PM's visit to Kashmir and I'm totally flabbergasted by the coverage. I wonder how the media is running amok without any accountability . Nowadays it seems they can say anything about anyone or make up stories or force their opinion on the common viewer.

NDTV seems to be the leader of this pack of media monsters who force their lefties opinion by creating fictious stories. It is common knowledge that the Roys have leftish leanings and they believe in the ideology of the left. Each individual is entitled to their beliefs and there is nothing wrong in that. But at the same time, if a person is in charge of news channel being broadcast nationally it smacks of extreme immaturity in forcing your belief on people. Afterall it is not some religious channel you are running. A news channel is not supposed to be lapdog of some particular political party but the way things are moving I feel most channels would end being mouth piece of one party or the other. All this channels talk of democracy but the question is are they practising it in the first place?

For the last two days the drama queen has been in Kashmir interviewing separatists and other left leaning "so called intellectuals" . My good gosh ! Does this woman has any sort of principles or ethics ? She is so blatantly propagating self rule for Kashmir. She has simply outdone herself in this assignment. The manner in which she questions the separatists is ample proof the ideology of the channel. I wonder are these people so brainless that they think giving self rule is the best option . If self rule is the option why only to Kashmir , what is so unique about it that you want self rule for it, why not for Assam, Punjab, Nagaland, Tamilnadu . Tamilnadu is as different from Haryana as Kashmir is. Why say Kashmir's problems are unique and I ask in what way is it different from other states? Give self rule to all the states in India except the BIMARU since they are the ones who seem similar in more ways than one.

The media especially NDTV is completely taken over by commies who anyway are out of touch with any kind of practicality. There is a limit to creating false stories , DD they say is government propaganda machine but it never went to this extreme. There was this obnoxious lady by the name of Radha Kumar day before on NDTV 60 minutes who talked something which IM sure no one could understand. She seemed to be living in a world of her own and was talking utter rubbish. The antics of the drama queen has to be seen to be believed. I'm sure this year all the awards will be hers. Well Done! Superb performance. I feel this dutt babe has missed the vocation of her life , she is such a natural born actor that Rani and Kajol are kindergarten kids in front her acting prowess. She was asking such inane and leading questions to the hurriyat and also to this radha kumar that I wished that I could bash her brains out. The manner in which NDTV is sucking upto Hurriyat makes me think that the channel is owned by Mirwaiz Umar and not Prannoy roy. Its beyond my understanding that how self rule would be beneficial to the people of Kashmir and what makes all this JNU-ites and the likes of Barkha dutt to believe in such a stupid notion. What makes them think if they provide self rule to one state , the other states will keep quiet? The manner in which NDTV was propagating such theory I feel is completely anti national and they should be taken to task for such misleading programmes.

The government seems to be sleeping when such anti-national activities are being carried out by the electronic media. The media has become a monster in the recent years with no accountability to anyone and in race for TRP's they create stories like some producer making a TV serial. Its high time that the government takes notice of such channels which are on a mission of their own.


Messrs Karat and Yechury should take note and start communist channel soon and make this Barkha the head of it.

  • So does nobody really visit this blog?
    Why nothing on the sitting-pretty-on-dal-lake-candy-floss Kashmir coverage of CNN-IBN? Does it not merit as much flak as much NDTV is been bestowed. Please elaborate in case you stop by your own blog!
