India's worst journalists

[Vilander]

I did not find Karan Thapar to be bad, he is not an Appan Mennon but yeah not bad though.

I did not find Karan Thapar to be bad' date=' he is not an Appan Mennon but yeah not bad though.[/quote'] He seems arrogant because of the way he speaks but actually he is always very well prepared for every interview/topic. That's not something that most journalists do.

Sagarika is rightly called Category 5 moron. If not for her daddy she wouldn't be even a ground reporter. The article b!tching about NRIs is total facepalm from start to end.

[amiret]

Rajat Sharma ( and all his colleagues at his "Alien Jagat mey Mahabharat" channel ). Sudhir chaudhry and his "Latak Gaya" compatriots. Chandan Mitra :haha: . Prashant Jha ( associate editor of HT and President of All India NaMo CheerGirls association) Vinod Sharma ( Former political editor of HT and Fake CD peddler . ) Everyone at NaMo CheerGirl "Niti" Central. Innumerable anonymous flunkeys in FP Staff , IANS , PTI , TNN , ET ..etc ; peddling their ingratiating fluff pieces to make ends meet.

The hate in this one is irrationally BAAAAAAAAAAD.

Here we go. Sagarika ghosh suggesting NRIs shouldn't get their rights to vote. http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/?utm_source=TOInewHP_TILwidget&utm_medium=NavLi&utm_campaign=TOInewHP Lol

High achieving NRIs are increasingly achieving material success. But in white-dominated Christian societies, they are the perpetual outsiders, even though the tide is turning. Recent British elections show Indian-origin Britons moving out of the ghetto, into mainstream political life. For them Modi with his unabashedly bombastic and upwardly mobile style is the natural mascot.

:hysterical: The hate is so obvious. Those NRIs who slapped my husband. She missed out saying "Internet Hindus". Now, it is all NRIs are bad! :yay:

Tagore warned constantly of the dangers of nationalism and Gandhi made sure that his nationalism included all, even English people. Nationalism when defined as war on anyone critical of Modi government can become an exercise in polarising society rather than uniting it. In fact, NRI nationalism is dangerous for India.

Why is Nationalism bad for India? Agreed Majoritarianism causes mayhem, fascism etc. But, why not India first, religion later..

As a suggestion, why don’t NRIs who’ve voted with their feet and left India contribute to the PM’s religio-cultural Save Ganga project? Or is the NRI frenzy limited to a selfie-clicking rush and forever putting an ‘I’ before India?

' :hysterical: Who is to say, they have not contributed to such noble causes?

Siddharth Varadarajan - commie, pretentious, too anti-Modi even for The Hindu, and also a US citizen so dont know if he counts. Rana Ayyub - downright dumb yet full of herself, difficult to even call her a journalist Mihir Sharma - resident Paul Krugman impersonator with a huge man-crush on Manmohan Singh. Congi bootlickers populating Scroll, Kafila etc. Ravish Kumar - closet AAPtard

[Sachin=GOD]

^Ravish Kumar is India's best Hindi journalist by some margin.

But he is an aaptard without a doubt. On his channel he is subtle, on his twitter he is a bit more open. On his blog he puts biggest kejritards to shame. Compared Modi's win to Happy New Year movie saying that a theif is able to win emotions of people by igniting nationalist feelings. :facepalm: On TV he appears to be balanced.

Pak does have good journos or people who write in addition to main profession - like Pervez Hoodhboy :hatsoff: http://www.dawn.com/news/1182200

Our generals say India’s spy agency RAW is up to its nasty tricks again. No evidence provided but, okay, we’ll buy the story for now. There are two good reasons. First, it’s safer not to question the wisdom of generals. Second, they speak from deep experience, having long played the spy-versus-spy game across borders. So let’s provisionally assume that India’s spies have engineered the odd bomb blast here and there, and send occasional gifts to the BLF or other militant Baloch movements. But RAW’s alleged antics are pin*****s compared to the massive and irreversible brain damage that Pakistan’s schools, colleges, and universities inflict upon their students. Imagine that some devilish enemy has perfected a super weapon that destroys reasoning power and makes a population stupid. One measure, though not the only one, of judging the lethality of this hypothetical weapon would be lower math scores. No such scores are actually available, but for over 40 years my colleagues and I have helplessly watched student math abilities shrivel. Only the wealthy customers of elite private schools and universities, tethered as they are to standards of the external world, have escaped wholesale dumbing down. As for the ordinary 99pc, with the rare exception of super-bright students here or there, some form of mental polio is turning most into math duffers. Imagine that an enemy has perfected a super weapon that destroys reasoning power. Does being poor at math really matter? After all there are plenty of intelligent people everywhere, even brilliant ones, who hate math and therefore are bad at it. But this is only because they had dull and uninspiring teachers who never taught them that math is a beautiful exercise of reason, one step at a time. Once on track, you quickly realise that math is the most magnificent, surprising, and powerful of all human achievements. The success of the human species over other forms of life on planet Earth depends squarely on mathematics. Without math the pyramids could not have been built, navigation would be impossible, electricity could not have been discovered and put to use, factories and industries would not exist, computers and space exploration would be unimaginable, etc. Here’s how bad our situation is: in a recent math class, I had rather typical 18-20 year-olds from non-elite schools. They had studied geometry but their teachers had not exposed them to the notion of proof — the step-by-step process in which one starts with a proposition, carefully constructs arguments, and then triumphantly arrives at the conclusion. Instead, they were taught math as a hodgepodge of recipes. A few they remembered, the rest were forgotten. I nearly wept to see that barely three to four students out of 60 could prove the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. None could prove that similar triangles have proportional sides. Quite a few had difficulty with fractions, some did not know how to take the square root of four or nine or unless armed with a calculator, and translating even simple real-life situations (like compound interest) into equations was difficult. Twelve-year-old kids in Japan or Europe would have done better. Their teachers are still worse. Earlier I had the misfortune of teaching math courses to college math teachers. In their late 30s or early 40s, most were staid and stable family men who had come to university, expecting to get a higher degree and hence a higher pay grade. But for all their years of teaching math, they were blanks. Diluting my nominally ‘advanced math’ course to a beginning level course did not help. My conscience could not allow a single teacher to pass. Could the use of English — a difficult language for all except ‘O’ and ‘A’ level students — reasonably explain this dreadful situation? I am sympathetic to this point of view and therefore use Urdu exclusively in my physics and math lectures, both in distance learning modules and in real-time teaching (except when a university’s regulations require that I teach in English). But this barely solves 10-20pc of the problem. So then is the math curriculum at fault? It certainly can be improved but almost the same topics in math and science are listed in Pakistani curricula as would expectedly be covered by a similar cohort internationally. In fact, primary school children in Pakistan are expected to carry a bigger burden than overseas kids. The impediment to learning proper math is just one — wrong learning goals, wrong attitudes. Mathematics does not require labs, computers, or fancy gadgetry. But it does demand mental capacity and concentration. Nothing is true in math unless established by argumentation based upon a rigorous chain of logic, with each link firmly attached to the preceding one. The teacher who cannot correctly solve a math problem by following the defined logic will suffer loss of face before his students. Contrast this with the madressah model wherein truth is defined by the teacher and prescribed books. The teacher’s job is to convey the book contents, and the student’s job is to appropriately absorb and memorise. There are no problems to be solved, nor is challenging suppositions or checking logical consistency either encouraged or even tolerated. Limited to religious learning, such learning attitudes are perfectly fine. But their absorption into secular parts of the education system is disastrous. The hafiz-i-science or hafiz-i-math, which are copiously produced, carry exactly zero worth. Giving logic a back seat has led to more than diminished math or science skills. The ordinary Pakistani person’s ability to reason out problems of daily life has also diminished. There is an increased national susceptibility to conspiracy theories, decreased ability to tell friend from foe, and more frequent resort to violence rather than argumentation. The quality of Pakistan’s television channels reflects today’s quality of thought. For too long education reform advocates have been barking up the wrong tree. A bigger education budget, better pay for teachers, more schools and universities, or changing instructional languages will not improve learning outcomes. As long as teachers and students remain shackled to the madressah mindset, they will remain mentally stunted. The real challenge lies in figuring out how to set their minds free.

Excellent writer that writes the real truth on ground without fear

Sagarika Ghosh has to be the worst english language high profile presstitute...and rightly belongs at the TOIlet

[Gollum]

But he is an aaptard without a doubt. On his channel he is subtle, on his twitter he is a bit more open. On his blog he puts biggest kejritards to shame. Compared Modi's win to Happy New Year movie saying that a theif is able to win emotions of people by igniting nationalist feelings. :facepalm: On TV he appears to be balanced.

WTF

[gattaca]

all are Bakwas journalist hai. :hysterical:Come to pakistan we show u how good our journalists are. Come ooooon Pakistaaaaaaaan!!!

_hSyva5ZxRg&sns=em Your post reminds me of this guy. He is a funny guy.

[Texan]

I don't get why people even consider Sagarika Ghosh or Rana Ayyub even journalists? Their arguments are dumb and devoid of any facts and they actually really believe that they are intellectuals.
