Sachin=GOD Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 ^^The media hatred of Narendra Modi is obvious as daylight. In particular, The Hindu has a solid history in this regards. A few years ago it had published (without any verification) a completely fake SIT report on its front page blaming Narendra Modi for the 2002 riots. More recently, its editor had issued instructions to his staff not to cover rallies of Narendra Modi. Yeah.....media is soooo anti Modi. Just watch India TV - literally doing Modi Puja the whole day. As for The Hindu - you might not have noticed but Siddhartha Varadrajan was sacked as Editor and the main reason was that he was not in favor of Modi so political pressure was applied. Same happened to the editor and political editor of Open Magazine - in fact now if you check Open magazine's articles, its coverage is so very, very pathetically pro Modi that it seems like a better version of Kamal Jyoti (BJP's own magazine). These are just few of the many examples.

Even though I am not big fan of Indian media and it is true that India TV is too much in favour of Modi but tell me something about this Siddhartha Varadrajan was sacked as Editor and the main reason was that he was not in favor of Modi If being in favour of your Prime Minister is not good while reporting to an extent then how can being a blind critic considered as good.

These are just few of the many examples.Sid Varadarajan was sacked not because of his anti-Modi views (which the current setup also holds) but because he also insisted in not covering Narendra Modi's rallies as newsworthy events which they obviously were. This would have gutted the newspapers bottomline as well as credibility. The media literally publishes false news (I have given examples) if it helps in portraying Narendra Modi in a bad light.

Other media channels/newspapers also didn't exactly 'cover' Modi's rallies - BJP threw money at them so they covered Modi like no other leader has ever been covered in India's history. Now that many media houses are being ignored by Modi, they became totally pro AAP during Delhi election. When BJP again throws money at them, they will again start showing lots of positive news. India TV, Zee News etc have gotten benefits and inside news (Rajat Sharma got Padma Bhushan and has been close to BJP leaders for a long time while Subhash Chandra is also close and has been looking for Vidhan Sabha seat) so they are doing Modi Puja. Many reporters in Aaj Tak are also huge Modi Bhakts - just see the coverage and you will see.
seedhi Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 No.He was hired by Rajya Sabha TV. Also, the Congress govt in Rajasthan had made him a faculty in some new journalism school, which I believe he still is.

He was covered more because he did many more rallies than his woefully inadequate opponent Rahul Gandhi. By the way, if Padma awards are a measure then you should also consider the number of Congress gifted awards to journalists/activists - it is a long list.

Also' date=' the Congress govt in Rajasthan had made him a faculty in some new journalism school, which I believe he still is.[/quote'] He is in SNU - that's Shiv Nadar University (he's the owner of HCL computers.... not related to Cong from what I know). And as for rajya Sabha tv - I'm not sure about that but I don't think he worked there. Might have done some interviews for them...

By the way, if Padma awards are a measure then you should also consider the number of Congress gifted awards to journalists/activists - it is a long list. Anyone who saw the election coverage with their eyes open could see that the coverage modi got was extraordinary (small example - I have been reading newspapers, especially political coverage in papers, for at least 10 years but I have NEVER EVER seen the kind of of coverage Modi's rallies got - every big rally in UP got 3 pages in local editions (if it was in Agra then ALL Hindi papers in Agra had it on at least half the front page and then around 2 or 2.5 pages more) and at least 1 page across ALL other editions in UP). That is never done (again, I can tell this from experience - in Lok Sabha 2009 the BSP candidate from Lko, Akhilesh Das, had bought a lot of paid media - everyone knew it but obviously it could not be proved since there was no paper trail....he got at least 1 page of coverage every day in the top 3 papers everyday for 1-2 months leading to the polls while other major candidates from BJP and Cong either got 1-2 small columns or many times even that didn't happen and they were totally absent from papers for many days - in the end the BJP candidate had to openly ask voters to ignore the papers since they had been bought). Almost ALL of Modi's speeches in big rallies were covered in full LIVE on the top 5-6 News Channels in India - if you really think all that was not paid for then I sincerely say that you stop following Indian politics because you know NOTHING about it. Yeah...Cong did that a LOT. And that is my biggest problem till now with Modi Sarkar - everytime the Govt does something questionable, its just said that Cong also did it. Cong gave it to Rajdeep Sardesai so why cant BJP give it to Rajat Sharma....Cong had HUGE full page ads with pics of Sonia/Rahul for every big and and small achievement (which cost crores and crores every week) so whats wrong with Modi Sarkar doing it with pics of Modi......Cong had Digvijay Singh/Mani Shankar Aiyar/Satyavrat Chaturvedia making despicable statements but they were not controlled so whats the problem if Giriraj Singh or "sadhvi" jyoti say a few words and are not controlled or punished for that etc etc etc. If voters wanted the same things to be done again and again (only this time the beneficiaries would be Modi loyalists instead of Gandhi family loyalists) then I doubt they would have voted for Modi. They wanted these practices to be stopped that is why they gave such a mandate. Its time to stop defending these pathetic practices in the name of "Cong also did it" - Cong did it and they got 44 seats.
Sachin=GOD Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 574 Indians rescued from Yemen THAT is brilliant work from Army/Air Force/Govt of India. Especially liked seeing Gen. VK Singh being sent there to co-ordinate everything personally. Great work.

amiret Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 A glorious pilgrimage of Dear Leader's birthplace. " Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthplace Vadnagar and a visit to the railway station where he used to sell tea as a boy are now part of a tour package started by Gujarat Government's tourism agency. Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Ltd (TCGL), through its official partner, is offering a day-long tour, costing Rs 600 per head, to Vadnagar in Mehsana district and the local railway station where the PM used to sell tea as a boy at a stall owned by his father, among other spots. The package, 'A Rise From Modi's Village', is being offered by a city-based tour company which is a TCGL partner. State-run TCGL is promoting the tour on its website." They also get a chance to see the Vadnagar-based high school where he performed various roles in dramas, it said. "For those wanting to know more about Modiji, we have arranged meetings with his school classmates, who provide unheard tales about Modiji when he was a student. We then take tourists to the Hatkeshwar Temple, where our PM used to play drums during prayers," I hope the fortunate pilgrims also get to see the sickular crocodiles that Dear Leader vanquished with his bare hands during his childhood.

Texan Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 ^^ And what has the above article got to do with Modi sarkar performance?

Might have done some interviews for them...Siddharth Varadarajan and Kumar Ketkar are Members of the Advisory Council of the Haridev Joshi University of Journalism and Mass Communication, Jaipur. They were both nominated by the Congress govt, and I doubt it was entirely for their impartial (lol!) journalistic skills. http://www.hjuj.ac.in/advisory-council.htm Sid-V also has an interviewing gig on the Rajya Sabha TV. I don't know if its like a permanent position, but he has a fairly regular slot.

Modi never got any support from the media in LS 2014. It's not that he needs support but the media could at least be fair or neutral. But the media were blatantly anti-Modi. Showing the live coverage of Modi is normal work but it was done to other parties as well. The whole Kejriwal phenomenon that he will beat Modi in Varanasi was created by the same media. What was ridiculous, they broadcast the rallies followed by the next whole day debating on why Modi should not be voted. They called all sorts of people, bollywood stars, international scholars who had nothing in politics on why Modi should not be voted. The media till the last day of results were praying that opinion polls are wrong, Kejriwal beats Modi and Congress wins back. I have said it before this LS 2014 coverage done by our media deserves a documentary as for the whole one year, they kept on saying Modi will lose. And the outrage by our media today on some controversies statements made by BJP people is very selective. Where was the outrage when Sonia called Modi "maut ka saudagar" or when their other leaders called him all sort of nasty and abusive names. This selective outrage is what's the problem said for our paid media.
