The clever communists are at it again. They have struck a deal and are permitting a go ahead for IAEA meet. Rest can follow later. Now this is shown as breaking news throughout today afternoon and thus Nandigram is taken out of our memory. With some intelligent posturing by the congress led by munshi, and with some feeble noise from advani, poor nandigram is soon going off air. There will be one or two adjournment in the parliament and then since the nuclear deal has to be discussed, Nandigram issue will be nuked.
The communists and congress have been hoodwinking us all for a long time. Act like beating me so that the real opposition is shown poor. Mamta and BJP in the receiving end. Who is bothered about Nandigram? Only Bengalis. And if they are communists they still do not bother. So a minority with no political heavy weight by its side will be let to suffer. The media is mute and subdued and this strengthens our theory of bias.
The so called Intellectuals will make noise for some time and then vote for CPM. Mamta will be damned by the media as Bengal deserves better. BJP anyway is nonexistent. Congress will get some loksabha support from left and will present bengal to the communists again. Poor Nandigram. Nuked......
NDTV, the premier news organisation in India sorry it has lost this tag couple of years back. They are like any other news channels these days. See what they cover Entertainment, Sports, Car & bike show, documentary etc etc. Half hour bulletein is about 16-18 minutes with 12 minutes of break suprising aspect is that it is same at 7am or 11pm worse.Now why it didn't cover Nandhigram as it covers anyother news. The reason is simple Prannoy's wife Radhika and Brinda Karat CPI(M) politburo member and senior leader are sisters. NDTV has never confronted Prakash karat on its Network. even in rajdeep days it was not the case.So how will these guys show something which won't go well in the family. So softly cover the issue. None of the Senior anchors went down to Kolkatta or Nandhigram. They kept doing all they can from Delhi studio.
ReplyDeleteWait next month you will find Burkha performing Bharatnatyam in Gujarat to cover Gujarat elections(Sorry for the pun as I cannot tolerate her mannerisms while she reporting news. Where is the boldest reporter in India? We get to see her only in "We the people" on Sundays. May be she has become Managing director and so no more on field reporting.She even covered PM's SouthAfrica visit and got some 1 minute exclusive sound byte and which these guys promptly played for 2 days. I persume it was a weekend so they played it till 9pm on Sunday hour after after.
Iam not sounding cynical about TV news. Its just that we hardly get good shows. No news analysis programs even if there is one anchor keeps interuptting and we have lots and lots of ads.
Ok why others didn't cover.Sorry no comments
