She does too much drama for my taste. If I want drama I can watch a Bollywood movie. Taken from wiki-

Criticisms During the Kargil conflict, Indian Army sources repeatedly complained to her channel that she was giving away locations in her broadcasts, thus causing Indian casualties.[citation needed] She has also been criticized for showing apathy towards victims of casualties and asking them insensitive questions. Also, it is said that her entire Kargil coverage was more of a publicity stunt. She has been heavily criticized for calling anti-Pakistan slogans outside Nariman House as "unfortunate" and declared that it should not be telecast. This reflected how a reporters personal opinion, however appalling, shapes media coverage even if it were to suppress popular voice of people. She has received criticism for creating melodrama and controversies time and again when a new issue comes up. During her coverage of the Malegaon probe she used the phrase "Hindu terrorism" copiously. However, she never used the phrase "Islamic Terrorism" in all her reportage of the Mumbai terror attack of 26/11. This inconsistency is endemic in all her reportage with a certain anti-Hindu bias. Perhaps most disastrously, during the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 2008, Barkha Dutt shared and telecast critical information live on television regarding (A) the location of civilians hiding in hotels (thus potentially endangering their lives)[3], (B) the then ATS chief Hemant Karkare's safety preparation (showed him wearing a helmet and a bullet-proof vest in excruciating detail live on television: the officer succumbed to bullets in the neck), © the exact number and location of commandos defending the hostage locations at the Taj and the Oberoi hotels (information easily available to the terrorists via television or sat phone), (D) contacting the head of Oberoi to release sensitive information regarding the current hostage situation in the hotel which drastically contradicted the sanitised information released by Indian security agencies in order to keep the rescue operation uncompromised, (E) she further went on to say that even though the govt said that there will be no negotiations with the terrorists, her diplomatic sources – she named the diplomat – said that negotiations are underway.

Mumbai police bought luxury cars not new weapons http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Mumbai_police_bought_luxury_cars_not_new_weapons/articleshow/3776792.cms 30 Nov 2008, 0402 hrs IST, Prafulla Marpakwar, TNN Print Email Discuss Share Save Comment Text: MUMBAI: A multi-agency operation may have managed to make Mumbai terror-free but the last few days have exposed the incapability of Mumbai Police to tackle terrorism. Experts feel it would be unfair to blame that entirely on the cop on the street, but we should look at what the government has done to equip the force to take on terrorists. The government has promised to make Mumbai a safer place every time the city has faced terror. Senior ministers have repeatedly stressed that the force would be modernised and equipped with machines that would allow it to return terrorists' firepower. But most of those promises have remained on paper, even a cursory glance at the last few years' budgetary provisions reveal. Records show that the government has spent Rs 940 crore on "modernisation'' in the last eight years. But most of the money has been used for construction of new police stations, administrative buildings and buying luxury sedans for senior IPS officers. "We had adequate funds but never upgraded our firepower to tackle terror attacks. That was why we were helpless when terrorists attacked Mumbai on Wednesday,'' a senior IPS officer said, adding that 60% of the Rs 940 crore was spent on buildings and cars and very little on improving mobility or upgrading weapons and ammunition. Officials say the home department's focus is on procuring luxury vehicles and accessories for top officers. Maharashtra has 22 additional DGPs and four DGPs. Every one has a luxury sedan. IGPs and SPs too have modern cars at their disposal and at least 20 such cars are at the disposal of the deputy CM himself. Some of them are used by him, the remaining are used by his staff. "Chinese-made beacons worth about Rs 30,000 had been fitted on many of these vehicles but could not be replaced after they stopped working as there was no warranty,'' an official added. Officials expected the home department to draft a plan to buy bullet-proof cars for officers in sensitive posts, replace age-old weapons and procure more bullet-proof jackets for personnel. But none of that has happened. "We have no ammunition for training State Reserve Police Force officials and so most SRPF constables have absolutely no experience of using rifles. They use it when they are summoned to tackle a mob or to control riots,'' the IPS officer said. A programme was drafted for getting AK-47s and replacing obsolete weapons two years ago but it was not followed up seriously. Maharashtra, as a result, is the only state in India where most cops embark on sensitive operations with old weapons. Ditto for bullet-proof jackets; cops here would like to sample the scientifically designed Koeffler jackets that can protect the body from any type of bullet and are used by the NSG and other commando forces the world over. But it is another article on a long wish-list.

[Guest dada_rocks]

I have a question for this Bit$h and other *****es of ibnlive and ndtv.. so despite all and sundry asking you not to do a parade with phrases likehindu terro you didn;t listne.. you kept on hammering those phrases 24/7 for two months.... Congress didn;t do that yes some fringe idiots might have done no other political party did that it was media sponsored terminology Suddenly now you are silent on the religious association of these crimnals no mention of muslim or islamic terror.. So would you inform us whether you were wrong while using hindu-tyerror phrase or are wrong now when are not using muslim-terro phrase.. Certainly can't be right in both instances..

[vinayak1986]

@ hindu extremist true. can u believe this?? during the earlier stages of attacks, ibnlive.com was talking of a sacred thread in the wrist of one of the guys, so they might be hindu extremists!! though i hated them all, i never thought they were so stupid!

[Guest dada_rocks]

NDTv for a day kept saying a boat went to karachi ( all the boatmen are hindus from gujraat) and brought those terrorists. body of one of those people they say have been fund and other four are missing.. they have tried their best to give it the color they like..we don;t take note of that.. Since then under sheer weight of evidence their words have changed When that zaid Hamid clown claims heera sihg or that singh we laugh but when these bit%ches from ndtv or ibnlive do exactlythat we buy it blindly What si the freaking difference between Zaid Hamid and that ATS leak which said Samjhauta express was done by indian army usign RDX.. very next day when cornered with evidence that actually there was no RDX used in that blast and one Sfdar Nagori has already been nearly convicted for that blast ATS did the u-turn.. These mofos of media kept flying that kite and still do without understaning the implication of their nonsensical stories.. Fact is for anyone who already was convinced india army does all that no matter how many evidence you put forward against that BS for etenity indian army becomes guilty and they will keep throwing the garbage samjhauta express was doen by india army....... If you peruse through the garbage of that clown zaid hamid it's all based on the lies that our media had peddled in their zeal to throw enough mud around.... revelation after revelation only to be denied very next day had been donning idiot box in last few months and that did no good to the credibility of anybody (1) samjhauta express blast was done by rogue elments of army oen day it was not done by them second day (2) Sadhvi has confessed one day and sadhvi is not divluging anythign next because she does meditation so even multiple narco is not working (3) Praveen Togadia is mastermidn one day and he is on the hit list of those cabal of sadhvi and colonel next day (4)RSS chief is master-mind one day he is on the hit list next day.. All kind of nonsensical stories were peddled with gusto and all came through the leak of ATS brass...... These suckers don't understand that there is media cabal around the world which were already mentioning these garbage against india army now they have given them fodder for eternity .. No matter how many times ATS denies that now it won't make a difference

DR , The problem is that Govt of India doesnt make statements. Look at US no one says anything on the streets .. from army to politicial leaders .. In India everybody kept saying we had 30-40-20-10-12 terrorists and now the Aussie media is saying that the story has been changed so many times that now they dont know what to believe. Why is it important for an inspector to give a speech .. why cant the govt have an office where a GOVT official makes ONLY OFFICIAL statements ... It just shows the lack of professionalism ... Its everywhere from Police to media ... no one waits for a second before opening their mouth and claiming HEY I KNOW ALL LISTEN TO ME ... but then what can we expect if we have idiots like Lalu , rabri , Mayawati etc running this country ..

Yes that's the problme policemen are idiots in India mostly and I don;t expect them to knwo the global implicationf of n number of garbages they spew only to deny it next day.. My beef is with media houses these ba$tards know it all and yet indulge in these cheap gimmics for cheap TRP.... Govt usually does come up with official statement once some clarity is established but these media houses must make up stories till that happens.. These mofos have sabotaged earlier NSG operation in Amritsaronce again they wer at it beaming live scenary pontificating on what next is to be done .. When army boss took them to task then only sense dawned and live beaming was delayed by few minutes.. even then they had to show live.. I never get how the hell media gets access to these places in first place.. they should cordon off the place and let police do their job.. if not for these media houoses we today wud not have been deiscussing who all visisted the site with chilef minister.. I am no fan of congress and still the kind of energy being wasted on issues like who all visited the site is beyond me......I mean is it crime for someone caring to tag along with CM.. Media houses and elite idiots who don;t have their own brains to think have assumed here that RAm Gopal Verma or whoever went their to write the script o his movie.. these sucker are know it all.. they have been beating CM with this stupid stick.. why you took so and so to the sight.. This si cynism at its best.. do we have to dicatated by these media morons who feels for these terrorists who doesn't.......... I say these idiots gain out fo this calamity and that's why they have no regard for the lives of peopel and paramount importance is given to the drama style reporting......their reporting has sbaotaged many operation cost many lives.. that bit$h Barkha dutt did exactly the same thing in Kargil episode by beaming army's moves live... Why shoudl I buy that these meida houses care after all these events drive their TRP up.. and then these morons turn around and lecture people who should visit there who should not.. Give me a freaking break......... Do question CM Deshmukhd but there are serious issues to beat him wiht not this nonsens like why his son viisted the place with him or why RAm Gopal verma viisted the place.. Ask him why his police was sleeping in light of actionble evidence but don't give us nonsensical TRP driving issues Lalu PAAswan ko mention karke kahe la mera khun khaula rahe ho.. I always wondered why these jokers do not get asked tough questions...... I have seen media houses asking tough questionf from mainstream parties leaders but these jokers don't get asked.. Again our very own mororn laloo yadav opened his piehole.. nobody asked him sir You and Paaswanjee roam around with Osama Bin laden look alike for votes what message does it give to our youth...ThankfullyBihari muslims showed these morons middle finger after that sort of humiliation by these two gentlemen of their intelligence

Tue ... why is there no law against it. Why is it that they are not accountable for what they print .. for example take a look at this from TOI

Mumbai: Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab (21), the terrorist arrested by Mumbai Police, has told his interrogators that their plan was to get off the dinghy near the fishing village at Badhwar Park, Cuffe Parade, at dusk and strike all targets except Nariman House between 7 pm and 8 pm. However, the landing was delayed and they reached at 8.45 pm. ‘‘They knew that the crowds at CST would be thickest at 7.30 pm and their bullets would cause the greatest harm,’’ said an officer on condition of anonymity. Kasab told interrogators that Cama hospital and Metro cinema were not in their plan which was to take hostages at CST and return to base by hijacking a boat off the Gateway of India.

Why is TOI allowed to print what someone said who is not even ready to identify himself publicly. Its a matter of national security FFS. Why is there no law against printing anything without a proper source. I heard barkha dutt and others say that OUR sources have told us this and have told us that. What are the sources and they passing the information illegally. Why is not punishable crime to leak important findings and then print them ? But again our ministers like Sheila dixit , Patil , Pawar , Antony , Madan la khurana , Nehru , karunanidhi (huh I give up there are so many names I wanna mention) cant be expected to be smart enough to raise these issues and do anything about it .

Point is we laugh at those suggestion when it comes to Zaid Hamid like characters but here is our very own media house peddling ***** like that......... I firnly belive these chumps are doing someone else;s bididng nto INdia's each and every are financed by some western interest.... Law should be amended where media house must not have less than 75% domestic interest in finfical terms.. Why should I trust a news channel who parent body is CNN in matters relating to India..... Rajeev had posted who own which channels sometimes back more or less all of them are controlled by some western body.. No wonder we see the consistent disregard of indian sensitivity

I like NDTV. But it is clearly bias towards Congress. Always ready to bash BJP but never wants to hammer congress. It also has till now not mentioned islam and terrorism in same sentence. So desperate to be PC in this respect, although as DR rightly points they have no qualms mentioning hindu and terrorism in same sentence. Its like the PC brigade see Islam as a protected species that cant be touched.

people attack politicians but polliticians are not even a patch on these divisive channels.. For instance just one or two congress leader lilke DigVijaya Singh and the new clowns Manish Tiwari used term hindu-terror rest didn;t indulge in that BSing.. but media channel kept berating that for whole two months 24/7.. somehow still media gets away with it and politician had to bear the brunt.. i think time has come for these channels to face the music of public anger only then they will understand
