There’s an old idea behind which Indian Media – especially the Old, Rotten, English TV Channels hide. NDTV leads the pack with Nidhi & Sreenivasan Jain doing the heavy lifting, with India Today in which the aged rotten Rajdeep Sardesai shows the way of how to twist, fake and distort the news with an understudy. Following them is CNN News18…. with Bhupendra Chaube acting like he’s too smart for everyone else. No wonder Zakka won the Best Anchor in Asia and not this smart alec!
That “idea” is that Media must speak “Truth to Power”.
These jokers think that that’s all they must do, forget telling the “Truth to Viewers”!
Like Mark Zuckerberg, they’ve made Viewers “the product” instead of being their customers! Serves their owners, they think. But little realising that when they’ve lost *all* credibility, viewership transfers to other TV Channels.
For example, my best TV Time is on NewsX and WION and even sometimes on Mirror Now! After decades, I’ve started watching Door Darshan! Little or no “My Takes” aka sordid opinions like Sardesai and Chaube think people want to hear!
The Media is supposed to be the 4th Pillar of Democracy. Not the only pillar of a corrupt, dynastic, elite in the only party that ruined India from 1947. But then the New Indian GOI gives them no quarter, so the anti-Modi venom is also personal since they’ve lost the clout they enjoyed under a spineless, accidental puppet PM for ten long years!
By spreading venom 24/7/365 they are the biggest contributor to destroying every institution India built – despite the dynasty – over 71 years! But then, when did these scoundrels ever care?
In just the last 12 months, the media has destroyed the Judiciary, CBI, CVC, Armed Forces & their COAS, Police and Administration – all ably assisted by the rotting congress and its allies – the Church & Mullahs.
No wonder that the UP Gathbandan has dumped the ConGress, with Mayavati – for once – speaking the truth about this cancer India inherited at Independence.
I am hopeful that India will realise the Truth about these anti-India forces and we’ll have #ModiAgain in 2019. And we’ll have a functioning Parliament.
If that happens, this Cancer will be eradicated. And they know it too, hence the looters are burying their rivalry in order to survive.
