<b>There is growing anger against the English Media - an anger which the media can ignore only at its peril -- RR</b>

subject: English media - taste of their own medicine?
The English media has lost the faith of good ordinary Hindus today. There is so much distrust, dislike and even intense anger against 2 24 hr English news channels, 3 English newspapers and one or two political journals that the ordinary good Hindu will today believe any negative news about them. Any negative news. The media persons must pay heed to this sentiment for their own credibility and durability.
I request all of you to take a look at the center page (Sunday Special) of Deccan Chronicle today titled 'when the box became an idiot'. There are 5 columns big and small on this page and ALL OF THEM have not only hit out sharply at all the media but specifically at 2 channels and 2 people by name - the same 2 names whom I had castigated 5 yrs ago for their near hysterical outbursts with blotched faces and tear-filled eyes all because the president of india had applied the brakes on Sonia Gandhi's towering ambitions to return colonial rule to India.
The orgy of sorrow was to have been seen to be believed.
The lady has been put squarely in the dock by all these columnists and not one of them is even mildly rebuking. The criticism is harsh, unapologetic and totally deserved. The lady's penchant to put her arms around muslim men in commisseration on ALL HER SHOWS I thought only I remarked about but so has this person Genesia Tahilramani too.
I just watched Rajdeep Sardesai responding to a polite question from one of his opwn colleagues on his own channel about giving out operational details which endangered lives, particularly with reference to the same lady and others.
Dear Rajdeep said something wholly hilarious. He said this is serious criticism but 'at the end of the day we need hard evidence'.
Fair enough rajdeep but what is the hard evidence that your channel or NDTV have when all of you along with Hemant karkare went hunting for saffron terror, Hindu fundamentalists, RSS killed Gandhi (oh yes I heard all the insinuating, nod nod wink wink allusions).
There was no evidence not one bit of hard evidence to materialize the Hindu terrorist but that did not stop Rajdeep S's channel or Barkha Dutt's channel from going on and on and on and on and on...
It will be a taste of the media's own medicine if these stories refuse to die down and these 2 channels are held responsible for endangering the lives of our men in uniform and our hostages.
Pontificating to politicians must stop, the virulent anti-Hindu posturing if it does not stop, will result in diminishing viewership. I watched only Times Now for 60 hrs. Arnab Goswami came thru as honest, caring and responsible.
There is growing anger against the English media - an anger which the media can ignore only at its peril.
