If an American journo had been caught in a Radiagate like scandal, would he/she still have a career? Well, if we are comparing US and Indian media, how about this comparison? How can people trust a media that promotes abusive trolls who fake interviews?Ĭomparing US and Indian media? Lol, if an American journo had faked interview with Secretary of Defense, nobody would have promoted his book Chyetanya Kunte’s blog was hounded and shut down Here it is the reverse, media shuts down voices and important events. No Freedom? Īs correctly pointed out in this tweet, it is not “Politicians vs Media” in India, but “People vs Media” and it had started with one blogger getting legal notice from Barkha Dutt: ĭemeaned Nation & PM Modi at the highest by peddling lies, glorified Terrorists, anti-nationals.Still enjoy life at the fullest. In India media can go against army and support terrorists by calling him son of poor headmaster or young leader.

Some wondered why she did not speak out if there was any political pressure on Surprising unexpected comment-Are you hence implying NDTV faces political pressure & is biased?Or is the comment for all media minus NDTV?īut pressure? Really? When one is free to report like this? With such questions on their minds, many Twitter users took to direct responses and sarcastic comments to point to Barkha where she was erring. Then shouldn’t she disclose this attack on transparency and information by the political class? Which politician shut down what information and which event(s) she was referring to? The second part of the tweet about politicians being able to shut down information was even more odd.
So the comparison by Barkha appeared odd.

The only Indian politician who openly attacks media like Trump does, is Arvind Kejriwal, who called Shekhar Gupta – who has mysterious professional relationship with Barkha Dutt – a dalaal (pimp) and who has attacked other journalists like Arnab Goswami on other occasions, but Kejriwal remains a favourite of most of the Indian media. Will anyone from Trump’s team confide anything to a NYT or CNN journalist? What comparison Barkha was then drawing? Funnily, today itself another NDTV journalist claimed that a BJP minister “ confided” to her some political thoughts. If there were any, we would not have seen ruling BJP leaders running to the NDTV studios every now and then to give exclusive interviews to Barkha herself. Trump Vs Media a lot like India BUT their Media way more outspoken & free & their politicians (unlike here) unable to shut down informationįalse equivalences are the hallmark of any “liberal” commentator and through this tweet, Barkha Dutt came up with another one.įirst of all, there is no “Trump vs Media” like situation in India.
