English media is to be blamed
by TeraBaap on Oct 31, 2007 01:26 AM

It's height of hypocracy, so we should not even take Pakistan seriously.

But a lot is emerging on Tejpal and on his so called sting operations. It, of course, wont get reported in the ELM (english language media).

There is a definite need for a right of center media. Unfortunately, you have to overcome a huge incumbent advantage to establish such an entity. This is because most of our journo schools are government funded, ipso facto making them marxist and anti hindu. The worst example of this is the JNU -- which is a total 4M monster (4m = marxist, missionary, mulla, macaulay).
Second, getting employed in these places if you're ideologically different is harder -- You won't get ads for your papers if you're thrashing or investigating Sonia Gandhi!

So, its hard for a centrist media to emerge since the reins of power are held by marxists. Alas, we have no balance.

However, all is not lost: the blogsphere has emerged as a significant disruptive technology but is still small.

Hindus have to take this to the next level and vote with their feet and wallets for institutions that provide a more balanced view.
Then and only then, can people like tejpal, rajdeep sardesai, barkha dutt & Karan Thaper with little to no journalistic ethics be countered.

By the way, the blogsphere is rife with Tejpal's misdeeds: you can choose to ignore them, but its amply clear that tejpal was sent to Gujarat with a very clear mandate: discredit modi at any cost.
