NDTV is one of the few channels in India who dares to speak truth in front of authority. This is something the media is expected to do.
- It is sad that the populist steps of the present govt creates fake news n keep people away from real ideology of this govt
- Current govt don’t like the voices of dissent like any other fascist govt.
- NDTV speaks the truth and govt don’t like it so it raids the channel, tries to control it.
- People of India are made fools by govt by using fake news which are fascinating and glorified.
- NDTV doesn’t do all such stupidity so people or fools don’t like it.
Do anyone remember that episode where NDTV journalist Nidhi Razdan interviewed BJP’s spokesperson Sambit patra?
Before anyone of you start judging me, let me make it clear that I am not a pro BJP, all I have tried below is to give you some truths which are kind of hard to accept.
Coming back to that interview, somewhere in between the debate,
Nidhi Razdan( reading the two lines from the letter he wrote about cattle ban, started yelling at him,
(Below is not the real conversation, it’s something along the lines of what happened)
“Is this your ideology? Is this how much you value the democracy?”
For which Mr. Patra told,
“ So you haven’t read the whole letter? If you had read, you wouldn’t have asked me this question. You got prejudiced just by reading the opening two lines.” also he said the following “ your channel seems to have slight inclination towards Congress party”
For which Nidhi Razdan became a fireball and told him to get out of her studio. For which Mr. Sambit said “ you are the one who called me for my opinion ,so you will throw me out just because I said something you didn’t like?”
In-between this argument, she took a break and when we came back Mr. Sambit was gone. May be her bouncers hurled him out. Just the next day NDTV Head Prannoy Roy house was raided by income tax department. Question is not why it was raided, rather why wasn’t he raided till now?
Why, you ask? Read along.
Throwing some light on History of NDTV…
- NDTV was founded in 1998. It had a very thick relationship with doordarshan back in 90’s itself. It’s head Mr. Prannoy Roy used to give a program called “the world this week”. It was hyped as number one program and made sure that it got enough advertisements by Mr. R Basu, who was the heading director of Doordarshan. He left Doordarshan and joined star TV knowing that he had done enough scams that they would get to him if he stayed back further. Mr. Prannoy Roy continued his friendship with Mr. Basu and later exchanged shares between his channel and star TV.
- Then came Mr. Bhaskar Goshe as the director of Doordarshan who also had a friendly relationship with Mr. Roy. To put it in one sentence, three channels were eating from a same plate for proximately 6–7 years. In 1998 when Doordarshan’s annual expense report was prepared, it was noted that there was a loss of 5 crores. Somehow documents were provided for 3.52 crores, rest could not be put on papers and CBI took over the case. When interrogations started, all fingers were pointed towards Mr. Roy and CBI filed a case against him.
- Meanwhile , somehow our ex – union finance minister came in contact with NDTV, within a short span of time NDTV had infiltrated the Congress party to the roots. Both were getting along so damn well that when the media giant Rupert Murdoch wanted to invest in Indian Media, it was taken care that no other channels got his deal except for NDTV. In fact both Murdoch and Roy signed the deal in then prime minister’s home I. K. Gujral!
- This was a big opportunity for Roy to show his superiority and also make money out of it. Along with his wife Mrs. Radhika Roy he started many companies to fool income tax department. Let me give a few examples. They started a company called RRPR , which took a huge loan from “India bulls” finance company. Even ICICI bank gave this company a loan of few hundred crores without doing any background check and based only on things mentioned on the papers. Within few days that money was put into Mr and Mrs Roy’s personal accounts. Some days later another company called VCPL was started by them and like this many companies with different names came up. The sole idea was to trick the income tax department.
- Prannoy Roy isn’t a Bengali brahmin like everyone thinks he is. His mother was Irish, father who was a Bengali brahmin by birth, got converted into Christianity later. Self claimed “the great writer” Arundati Roy is Prannoy Roy’s cousin!! Even she isn’t a Hindu, she is a Christian. Her mom was a Syrian Christian. Her name was Suzanne. Prannoy Roy’s wife Radhika Roy has a sister Brindha Roy who later married CPM party head Prakash Karat and became a Karat.
‘Godi Media’ was coined by The Ramon Magsaysay Award winner Ravish Kumar for Arnab and Co. ‘Godi’ in Hindi or Lapdog in English. He inherently spoke of the lap of the ruling government (Modi) and the lapdogs: Zee News, Times Now, Republic, Aajtak, ABP News, Sudarshan News…list is ever lasting.
The reasons for calling it lapdogs is precisely for the nature of the “lapdogs”. To win affection of its master and enjoy perks. When you turn on the television to realize that there are three kinds of journalism rampant in Indian television sets today:
- The supreme leader “affection” “obsession” “Insane-obsession” journalism
And here’s why most of Indians don’t like NDTV. Needless to say, they are solely interested in making money out of someone else’s misery.““99.99 per cent of Indian media is ‘Godi Media’, doing ‘chamchagiri’ of Narendra Modi, showing ‘bakwas’…. TV is making a fool of you, brainwashing you with bogus debates and propaganda”: please careful
