In a recent report for Al Jazeera, former NDTV anchor Sreenivasan Jain castigated Narendra Damodardas Modi and literally every mainstream media outlet in India, describing his former employer NDTV as a last bastion for honest news until the Adani takeover. Do you share this viewpoint? Let's delve into this further! Here's the link -
Whataboutery has found its way into LegallyIndia - so even lawyers have lost the ability to analyze and arrive at the truth. Great! I guess dumbhakts will remain so no matter what they study, cause WhatsApp university has no cut offs.
If mainstream media outlets are "godi media", the likes of Sreenivasan Jain are "morcha media". His handling of/ prologue to the Dr. Adish C Aggarwala interview was disrespectful, arrogant, unprofessional, and unnecessary- https://youtu.be/N4f3NQVWAU8?si=BNUHSTWqqcEjH1rA
If I were Adish, I would have walked out of the interview. The reason why no one from the BJP will give Sreenivasan Jain the time of day is because he isn't dishing news; he's smearing the country, internationally. He's toing the editorial policy at ALJAZEERA, which is SMEAR INDIA COME WHAT MAY. Dare he do such a documentary on any Arab Middle East Dictatorship. They'll sort him out in a day.
You are right, I won't ever be interviewed by such a hack of a journalist. You see, the likes of Sreenivasan Jain would rather debate a clown to lend credibility to their agenda and propaganda than hold a substantive discussion with someone competent, well-versed in facts and the law.
He's such an ideological fraud and sell-out; he won't even hold a substantive interview with Rahul Gandhi before this election. I am willing to bet my last dollar on this! Fun fact - The last time he interviewed Rahul G was in the previous election and that too for hardly 5 minutes! That interview had only softballs! No surprises there.
I'll tell you why he won't hold a substantive discussion with Rahul - he knows perfectly well that a substantive discussion with that man can and will result in a repeat of his (Rahul's) unforgettable media debacle in the run-up to the 2014 elections. It won't serve Mr. Jain's agenda.
And, mind you, it saddens me to say all this. Through the many episodes of Truth versus Hype, which I watched religiously with the hope of getting honest journalism (over journalism that runs roughshod on Modi for the heck of it), I saw a propagandist. A fool who missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to counter the likes of Arnab with substantive and unbiased reportage. To his credit, Sreenivasan can speak and present well. It's all such a shame, honestly! To sell out for an Al Jazeera paycheck which can and will only with trashing your motherland in this abhorrently biased manner is even more unfortunate and shameful...,
Imagine joining a Qatar funded news media made for muslims bortherhood support and talking about Democracy while calling yourself independent. I say it that No media is untouched by politicians be it Congress or BJP. All those self proclaimed independent journalist will never talk of Sandesh Khali while BJP media of manipur.
Sreenivasan Jain's hypocrisy is laughable and rather telling actually. He quit NDTV taking a moral stand, of not wanting to submit to cronyism (post the Adani takeover). Fair. All for what!? Smearing India, his motherland, for an Al Jazeera paycheque? An organization birthed in a country that stands for liberalism, equal rights for women and minorities, and democracy!!? These pseudo Lutyens elite types, I tell you..are such a joke.
This is probably the most underrated comment on LI right now. It's rather well written and the moderators have acted in excess by marking it as "trollish".
The moderators at LI are pro congress and anti bjp. Old story. Everyone kmows and the people with issues stopped visiting long ago. This page is an echo chamber for only one ideology. Thats the congress ideology.
Al Jazeera like any other media is propaganda channel and many countries and even Arab countries like Egypt has banned them for terrorism support.
Better to ignore these alleged independent journalist and look at ground situation because elections are coming and opposition is gonna cry evm hack like every other election.
If ravish kumar calls himself independent and non biased journalist then Arnab is also non biased journalist. No journalist is non biased nowadays. These same people shut their mouth on sandeshkhali and other incidents which involve hindu victims or supporters who are from BJP which just tells you are biased because a non biased journo would report every incident irrespective of state or party involved
What to say? Left and right has become so polarised now that the left sees it fine to use Al Jazeera as a platform and defend the Sandeshkhali rapes, while the right defends corruption so long as it's done by a BJP politician or ally.
Where have you seen the Left defend Sandeshkhali atrocities? Please show an example. The BJP on the other hand will accept anyone from TMC committing similar atrocities the moment they switch over to the BJP. All of the Bengal BJP people are ex TMC anyway.
Sandeshkhali has got plenty of news coverage. Moreover, Godi media are trying to show it as a Hindu v Muslim issue there which it isn't. It's a Hoodlum v normal decent people issue.

Its like queers for palestine - while Palestinians kill the queers in their country
I wonder why no one has done an exposΓ© on Sreenivasan Jain and his close ties with the congress. Both he and his brother, the lawyer, have solid connections in Congress and these connections were milked rather well when Congress was in power.
