Padam Shri Barkha Dutt Ji who is next on your hit list?
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 retract his post (google cache is available here) but publish unconditional 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 join the bloggers fraternity and strongly condemn this highhandedness. Ms Dutt and NDTV forfeit any right to be sanctimonious about the ‘freedom of Speech’ and all that blah blah. So next time we hear you Barkha- preaching us about ‘Liberal’ values and all that, even my 10 year old daughter know what to do with the remote.
Ms Barkha Dutt and her 24X7 News Channel has picked on a poor blogger to settle some scores but will Barkha Didi answer why Kunte alone? Ms Dutt, did the Admiral not say the same thing?
Many in the media have managed to secure for selves one or another Padam Shri or Bhushan (despite this sane advice here) and they feel that they are above any scrutiny, criticism, and appraisal. Smug in their belief they feel only they have the right to speech and speak what ever they want! MSM has monopolized over the public discourse and force their opinions on the gullible public.
Now, Ms Dutta and her colleagues in media have started a new trend of intimidating the dissenting voices.
So next time when we see the Padam Shri Editor In Chief of a channel sit over sting operation tapes he himself commissioned and let the favorite party win a crucial parliamentary fight, we sit and watch him.
So next time when a kid is brutally murdered; we watch the channels play endlessly porn reporting! We take no offence to the way channels report!
Any time any news channel frames a School Teacher and telecast the physical assault on her, live! We sit and watch!
Next time Ms Dutt or her esteemed collogues in MSM report the police action or preparedness for anti terrorist operation airing live on air giving away the positions of security personnel thus jeopardizing their lives during any terror attack. We sit and remain silent.
We watch, read these champions of ‘Free Speech’ and ‘Liberal Values’ preach us 24X7 and dare we not question them EVER. Lest we are slapped with legal notices and the might of these mighty Padam Shris and Bhushans are unleashed.
What a glorious way to celebrate the spirit of ‘Democracy’! Shame!
So Barka Didi; am I to going to get a legal notice soon? Yes, in that case please do me a favor and type an apology your self on my behalf I will publish that but I wont retract this on any of earlier posts.
PI.
BTW here are some more interesting posts.

Barkha Dutt Sucks to say the least
Barkha Dutt is an irritating presenter to say the least. It is unfortunate that she was once a promising presenter who has degenerated to a sensationalist, overtly emotional presenter who is quick to blame the usual suspects or the right wingers for everything. Unfortunately, we have many people like this in the free press who are quick to pass unenlightened opinions at the cost of most of the viewers. Having said that we do need a cap on what bloggers can say. If one kind of hate speech is okay, another kind which is not okay will eventually crop up under the same premise.
[…] MSM has nothing but contempt for us bloggers. Not long ago Padam Shri Barkhs Dutt Ji had made one hapless ‘Kunte’ not only withdraw a post (regarding MSM role during 26/11) but threatened him with law cases. Barkha Dutt Ko Gussa Kyon Aata […]

Good Post
she should change her programme name to “the bark starts here” she has no moral authority to stay on. she’s completely exposed.
NDTV = National Disgrace Tv
Barkha Dutt = Editor of NDTV
She is vamp who sucked blood of Indians – through her coverage, and through her lobbying
She should be brought to justice.
Along with her, Rajdeep Sardesai should also be investigated…….
Hi,
After reading all the comments , co-relating with the NDTV’s presentation I felt cheated by burkha dutt .
rajip sardesai long ago was part of NDTV (they were one)
and thereby no suprise.
collusion between reporters like burkha , rajip sardesai
& politicians came to the people’s knowledge. Lot of
manipulation taken place. we believed all the bullshit stories
Would be interested to see TRP’s of NDTV post Radiagate.. cant ever think of keeping it on even for a second.. Neilsen.. are you listening!
Like Obama’s presidential slogan “Change” we require Change in India most urgently. The entire system requires a major clean-up. We have had enough of corrupt power hungry politicians and bureaucrats, judges bereft of morals, tainted corporate bigwigs and media persons, a dis-functional and ineffective internal security force… the list goes on and on….. Jago India Jago!
hi Barkha dutt, m a great fan of u …cuz u rily is vry bold strong lady. hats off to u.. great corresponndent ..
