Well, she is angry of course, and has been venting her anger at poor bloggers from different platforms. Be it news paper columns or her own “Liberal, Secular & Progressive” news channel, she is consistent in her attack on bloggers.
Last evening I watched “We The People”. I feel it was a repeat telecast as the guests were wearing woolens, any way that is not important just for that important because the subject was interesting. ‘Should the net be policed’?
Well, three points were in focus.
1. Pornography
2. Bloggers
3. Laws
Pornography.
Well! It is a personal choice of an individual just as if some one wants to indulge in any other passion he/she likes. At any rate more than 80% traffic on internet is one way or other is sex oriented.
However, I too agree with the majority of people there that all efforts should be made to save children from the exposure. There are ways for parents to block the sites which they do not want their children to see. But once they become mature who can stop them if they want to, I do not understand.
Bloggers.
This is very interesting, because she has some very serious reservations against blogging and bloggers.
-She has serious issue with bloggers because they can not be traced.Oh! Poor Barkha!
Well, Darling, isn’t it the beauty? Why are you lamenting when we are using technology and the medium to our advantage?
Why are you lamenting? Let me tell you why…
For…
1. Now you are being questioned. You are being subjected to the same scrutiny you had monopolized for ages. You had always been the Questioners now you feel embarrassed when you are being questioned.
2. Would you not (and please Barkha nothing against you personally) the media, have just brushed it under the carpet, this half so clever attempt, Had this alert blogger not caught and exposed this great news channel.
3. Isn’t it the Media is full of particular brand of ‘ism’? Where is the other side of story?
4. For long MSM (main stream media) has shown what they wanted to, has presented their biased views as NEWS. The whole media is biased, each one of you, be it electronic or print. And at least I accept you’re charge that I am biased. Yes I have my own prejudices, just as all the MSM have. But I never say that I am neutral or objective and neither have I shared a burden of objectivity. My point is simple and straight, this is what my opinion is about this issue or many at times I do my home work and get to the truth where it is hidden from public glare and put forth before the readers, for them to judge. Would any of you have published this photograph when you all were busy shouting “denial of artistic freedom”?By Hindu fundamentalist! No? Because this would not have suited a particular agenda of Modi bashing. I dug that out and published. What do you say about that Mam?
5. Do you deny Barkha that MSM is not manipulated by the vested interests! Are you sure and can you convince us that individuals in MSM are not politically influenced if not out right spokesperson of a political party? Do you not think that the breathless reporting often shrill- of arson or riots are more inflammatory and flare passions more than dousing the fires?Really! Case in the point is the recent clashes in Rajasthan.
6. The other issue of anonymous bloggers.Well, I feel you confuse anonymous bloggers with those who blog under some Pseudo Name like you’re truly who blog as Prudent Indian. Just as a newspaper call it as “the Hindu” or “Indian Express” or a news channel as NDTV or Aaj Tak. Just as MSM have their own readership or viewers like we too have. But fortunately we do not resort to some thing which we do not want to because our readers want, we have our own credibility and readers read us for that.
Laws
The gentleman lawyer in studio did explain some laws. But, since I have not broken any law as I understand and my knowledge is limited so can’t comment.
Now! Barkha Sweet Heart
Please do not be angry any more.Gussa karna Achi Baat Nahin Hai.
Any attempt to block bloggers will be futile as we have proved already, in an earlier attempt made by our foot ball manager Minister of misIinformation and Broadcastbanning. And you had heard the lawyer gentleman too. Bloggers are too smart for that.
And yes growing concern among MSM show that we bloggers are doing great job and being noticed.
So we are loving’t.May our tribe increase.Amen!
Watchdogs are being watched now and perhaps with much powerful microscopes.
So Barkha, isn’t this good for democracy?
What say?
With warm Regards,
Prudent Indian.
Yep, another example that shows hypocrisy on part of media. Barkha’s views do not surprise me. All major media personalities have colossal ego and do not like being questioned. It is a different matter that they earn their bread and butter by questioning others.
I stumbled upon your blog while googling for Congress stooge Pankaj Vohra. Quite interesting.
Wow,wonderful reading your post.you have ripped apart Barkha the most secular person on the earth!!!
Hats of .Keep going.
most secularists like barkha dutt are worried about bloggers because it breaks their monopoly on news and views.
Great post Prudent…keep it up.
Here is something for you and your readers:
“The great joke that is Indian media – part 2” http://satyameva-jayate.org/2007/06/02/great-joke-indian-media-2/
Shantanu, if you look at CNN-IBN news site, you will find that virtually every news article related to India is distrorted against ‘Hindus’ with a desperate attempt to make ‘Chr’ look good. There was one article titled ‘Hindu Taliban’ which described how Christian missionaries were harrassed and their freedom curbed! While Mus are brutal wild animals, Chr attack by treachery and deceit … we have a lesson or two to learn from them as Indian civilization was overwhelmed with these kind of attacks.
Good one prudent,damn befitting.Yes,indeed the so called MSM is facing some real scrutiny.
Good,may the tribe grow.
kirti
Very good. This is the way to teach her. She is thinking that her opinion is best, but actually her opinion is always biased. she always try to show the Indian Traditions bad. She is pucca supporter of Left.
Thanks
Hi all……
Jo kuch kar nahi sakte , wo bus boll sakte hain……
and you are one of such kind,

can you tell some thin in the trandition which supports indian women, everythin is againt women ….
Your section created these laws of tradition because they were insecured , they new tat women form a better half..

Hi
I like your posts, It makes me thinking.
I would like to comment that, most of the Indian Media is politically biased and immature, especially when it comes to BJP rules states they are surprisingly misleading the readers and viewers in this country. Infact, in my true knowledge BJP ruled states are doing well in many aspects if not all compare to other states.We know that there is not a single news paper or visual media which is not run by a family in this country.If you consider CNN-IBN it is the most visibly biased visual media channel ever India have seen, so obsessed with Gandhi dynasty,Rajdeep and his Wife Sagarika is totally after Narendra Modi and BJP. If Modi sneezes it is a headline story in CNN-IBN!.if you consider NDTV PRANNOY ROY is trying his best to be a pseudo-secularist. But if we closely watch each of their programs it is increasingly getting biased and a person with common sense can understand what is going on behind the scene.Prannoy Roy and Barkha Dutta believes they are the only intellectuals left in this country!.If you look at the news papers, we know the history of Indian express. What role Goenka played in Indian politics utilizing his family run news paper business.Vir Sanghvi of Hindustantimes ( Late KK Birla is a staunch congressman) is all the way praising Sonia as if his career itself is pledged for that cause. A fair exemption can be made for Times of India ,I don’t know If I am correct.Otherwise there is a serious conspiracy going on this country by these new founded intellectual Pseudo Secularists.We must be able to differentiate what is right and what is wrong as these channels are targeting young urban population mixing news with bit of masalas and Tabloid especially the Hip-hop culture. They are not aware that their credibility and neutrality is being lost infront of the masses.In India Media ethics is a neglected truth.It is the era of family run businesses for personal and political gains.In the name of freedom of speech they are misleading the people to make thier own profit and gains.Who care where this will lead the country to?????
I may be dubbed as a fundamentalist because of my comments,that is the new trend prevail in India.But reality bites and people should analyze the news particles coming to them before believing in it.Because for many ,it affects thier intellectual behaviour. There should be some accountability of the Media institutions in this country and we the Citizens are responsible for that.Please Beware.
Guys ,
I 100 % agree with you people. all these media people are just hand in glove with ciongress and antinational elements. They are working as election agent of UPA. At the slightest opportunity they will pounce on Hindus . Just look the media coverage of Assam blast and Malegaon blast. Every day it is in the headline news in TV , front page news in newspapers( though the veracity is yet to be confirmed by so many nacro test etc etc ..). But for assam blast or any other blast it will be very difficult to find it in any news channel or in print media in a prominent way.
Guys we need to do something otherwise these mullah’s and pseudo secularists will just take this great country in to oblivion.
i completely agree with renjith nair…well done buddy……….

[…] One blogger Chyetanya Kunte wrote an angry post after being rightly pissed off watching the TV reportage during Mumbai Mayhem. He has not only been forced to retracted this post (google cache is available here) but publish his apology too. Presumably after being threatened with legal action by Padam Shri Barkha Dutt or NDTV or both. Well I am not surprised at all. Ms. Barkha Dutt has always held bloggers with contempt and has always been angry at them. […]
I ve been waiting for this day to come when people will unite and stand against these biased, hypocrite journalists like Rajdeep, Barkha, Arnab etc.. I ve always shied away from blogging and only used to read posts occasionally. But now the time has come to jump into the revolution.. After months, years of suffering from frustration of watching NDTV, finally the day has come to hit back at them.. I wish all bloggers my very best. You have all my support. Let’s unite and fight together…

hi there
I completely agree with your view point.
Well there is certainly a fear in MSM for few of the following reason….
Internet, blogging gives you the complete control to read whatever and whichever information you want to read with not so limited sources.
It does not have ” Break ke Baad ” or ” Coming Up Next ” when reading any news content.(Basically No Ad Break)
Not so annoying repeating video and sensational news reading.
In internet you can pause and close after watching it once.
You can share your OWN views/comments about some topics if you want to with thousand other readers.
So folks I think Internet and blogging is going to stay here irrespective of how powerful MSM is because it gives back the power to the fellow hundred thousand user if practice in a responsible manner.
cheers
