ENGLISH MEDIA IS COMMUNAL
by Krish Koundy on Dec 27, 2007 07:26 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Most of the English Journalists are educated in Convent schools-where Christianity is force fed. As it happens in the convents, female reporters are restricted from sporting Bindi on their fore head. They are exposed to case studies and lessons that decry India and Hinduism in journalism schools and media houses. Therefore they have a fixed anti Hindu prism in their reporting. It is combined with elite and class arrogance that makes them reject the grassroots leaders like Modi, Lalu, Yadhav, Mayavati, Uma Bharati, etc. They are relatively OK with urbane, suave and elite leaders like Chandra Babu, Navin Patnaik, Vasundara Raje, Sheila Dixit. Recently a reputed journalist of NDTV was asking Arun Jaitley how could an urban suave person like you become friend of Narendra Modi?.
It doesnt take Sonia to task for Muslim appeasement-such as Ram dont exist affidavit, Taslima ill treatment, 15% planning allocation, etc.
Sonia says something sensational and half a dozen of her spoke persons come give varied explanations appealing to different vote banks. Media doesnt have the fire to challenge Sonia hit and run politics. Because MEDIA PERSONS WORSHIP HER WHITE SKIN & ITALIAN ORIGINS.

Shailaja Bajpai's review of how the TV News channels fared on Election results story - makes some interesting observations on the anchors:

Star News: The men in black, anchor Gaurav and M.J. Akbar, were on their feet throughout (to applaud the winner?). Puppet heads of Modi, Madame and Others shook from side to side for no reason. Interesting.
NDTV India sat on Gujarat Ki Gaddi like it has settled in for the night. Try as Vinod Dua might to bestir the sleeping giant, it did not awaken. Channel requires a piercing wake-up call.
Aaj Tak: Deepak Chaurasia and a dholak competed for who could make more noise. Deepak won. The show was almost demure without its habitual headlines-in-a-hurry style.
NDTV 24x7: The old firm of Prannoy Roy, Dorab Sopariwalla, Barkha Dutt and introducing Srinivasan Jain %u2014 not quite upto it. Like an old sweater, NDTV%u2019s holes are showing, though you remain comforted by the knowledge that Roy will explain everything to you, all in good time, eventually.
Times Now: Nobody has bothered to tell Arnab Goswami he is speaking into a microphone. Rahul Srivastava was far calmer, Mahesh Rangarajan a sphinx who knew things were developing, but not what was happening.
CNN-IBN: Rajdeep Sardesai almost as calm as Yogendra Yadav. Together, they ransacked the proceedings, the figures looking for telltale signs of why Modi won.
----------------
I felt many of them seem to think themselves as Congress spokespersons.

In the end media made a fool of themselves.
This was the highlight of Guj election.
They think that foreigners only make the TRP.
