Well written article Sadanand Dhume ‘The myth of dictator Modi’ in today’s 24/9 TOI.
I wish you had titled it ‘The filth of dictated media’. It is dictated to do
certain things with payment.
One of Modi’s greatest
contributions to Indians is exposing maladies of MSM’s selective amnesia,
collective indifference, and penchant for scandals, sensationalism, gossips,
confirmation bias, and unwillingness to accept facts.
Media bias, like congress corruption has reached such a
saturation point, similarly getting dumped so badly that actually less number of people are
watching news channels and even those watching them are watching for brief period.
Recently they realized
that MSM was more keen on
manufacturing one more husband for Indirani rather than seriously
debating with any psychiatrist or social psychologist the causes for such
anomalies [of both genders] or even bothering to debate to get justice to someone and bring
someone to justice. It was portrayed as Indirani episode as if Das, khana, Mukherjee were all innocent
passing clouds or nice responsible husbands. All gender defenders were silenced
by the enormity of MSM’s one sided projection of the whole episode.
I only wish sense prevails among media persons, they bother
to see facts before shoving in their unsolicited exalted judgments. FDI in
media is a welcome and long due.
I also wish the present government to probe the scam of using
tax payer’s money for sponsoring select private media persons’ trips abroad
along with PM MMS during UPA regime.
