Mariyam Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Barkha Dutt is an unethical journalist. The biased kind. The kind who was involved in horse trading of ministerial berths. But she at some point of time in her life, she was a competent journalist. Hence she was lured and paid off to be biased. Arnab has never been a competent journalist/ tv host Hence is less susceptible to a bribe, as not many would want to hire his services in the first place. Barkha is the better anchor, all said and done. All in all, a devil or the deep blue sea scenario. Book_Worm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_B_ Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) ^ The only time she was "competent" when NDTV was the only real private English news channel. Reminds me of Air India....as soon as competition came they could not compete. Forget Times now, they are dwarfed by India Today. Ultimately those watching English news are mostly the Indian middle class who lets face it most support the BJP and hold a nationalist line. You sell them an ultra left wing product no matter how competent an anchor you are, its going to fail. The brilliance of Goswami is that he knows what his viewers want to hear. He delivers it in style. In a way he is like the BJP in politics. Apart from the Sena, the BJP is the only political party truly occupying the right wing spectrum of Indian politics. The left wing spectrum though larger than the right wing has too many parties peddling the same secular, social justice bs crap dividing vote. Goswami was wise enough to realize that sticking out from the crowd meant adopting a right wing tone.

diga Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 ^Congress is attempting to unite Dalit+Muslim votes and limit BJP vote bank to less than 40%. ... NDTV /Barkha are playing along and most probably Arnab is playing for other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tibarn Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Arnab is hardly right wing, he is right of people like Barka or Rajdeep, but he doesn't seem to hold any particular right wing beliefs aside from being a hawk on the military. velu and chewy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_B_ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Arnab is not anything. Arnab only cares about ratings. If Indian middle class was left wing arnab would be left wing. There is no ideology in him just money making formulas... Ultimately English news as a segment is barely 5-7% of total news segment. Somebody like ravish Kumar probably reaches more people than arnab. Its just that the people watching arnab are much more richer than the people watching Kumar. So despite lacking market share as a whole times now if profitable Sent from my Wileyfox Swift using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, when he spent weeks demanding the resignation of Swaraj/Raje/Chouhan that hardly had impact with the public. He however, thought he was revealing some major corruption case like 2G. Or this week he dedicated a newshour to trashing Donald Trump and giving soft support to Hillary, which hardly matters to anyone in India. On twitter, the "right wing" will spend weeks alternatively trashing/praising Arnab based on the subject matter of his programs that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diga Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) NDTV fined 525 cr by IT dept Quote India’s Income Tax Department (ITD) has slapped a fine of Rs.525 crores on New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) for fooling, concealing more than Rs.642 crore income earned through sham transactions in 2008. When caught for the unexplained money of how more than Rs.642 crores reached its kitty via Bermuda, NDTV claimed that they “sold a dream”. https://www.scribd.com/document/319908941/NDTV-Income-Tax-Notice-June-2016#from_embed https://www.pgurus.com/ndtv-claimed-sold-dreams-said-no-sham-transaction-slaps-₹525-cr-fine/ Edited August 6, 2016 by diga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tibarn Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 3 hours ago, beautifulgame said: All these suits lot mpre perfectly to right as well To some extent, sure, if you are talking about method of argument, but in terms of pervasiveness and finality of these as arguments, it's a definitively leftist trait. This is mostly because media, in most countries, is saturated with leftists, thus, when one of these arguments is made, it amplifies in the media echo chamber to become "fact," with no need to elaborate or prove it. The "right" version never becomes more than an accusation without proof. Not to mention there is no right in India, just shades of left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibarn Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Possibly big news. CBI probe NDTV’s Income Tax assessment officer, journalist husband’s unaccounted income https://www.pgurus.com/cbi-probe-ndtvs-income-tax-assessment-officer-journalist-husbands-unaccounted-income/ Quote Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) preliminary investigation with the support of Income Tax department has unearthed illegalities and violations committed by two lady Income Tax officers, by helping New Delhi Television Ltd. (NDTV), where one of their spouse was working as a journalist. The CBI’s letter to Income Tax department shows that in August 2015, the agency had decided to register a case of preliminary enquiry against Shumana Sen (also spelt as Sumana Sen) for manipulations in NDTV’s income tax related matters. She is an IRS officer and was the Assessing Officer of the Income Tax circle of NDTV. Also a copy of the letter from the CBI to Income Tax department: https://www.scribd.com/document/321496591/CBI-Letter-to-Income-Tax-Dept-re-NDTV-tax-assessment#from_embed Let's see if anything happens, or if Jaitley intervenes.
