Worst Journalists of India
There is a report on the Worst Journalists of India, 2014. I am posting excerpts below. Mean while,one should remember Media is also a part of the Society in which we live. Just as they used to show in films about Judges as the ones beyond Human failings of corruption,which is not a fact as we know at least now, we , unfortunately still believe that the Journalists are as pure as driven snow and are beyond corruption and partisan views. The fact is they are so , so are we. Under the circumstances, I do not follow or listen to one Journalist or another. I watch all of them, independently verify stories from different sources and arrive at a conclusion on my own. The perception that some are worst or good is a subjective . Let me leave it at that. But to expect some journalist to be of the standard of say GK.Reddy, even he was biased, is too much to expect especially after Rai tapes implicating Burkha Dutt, Vir Sanghvi, (Check for audio under Radia Tapes) However I have a few impressions of some Journalists. Arnab Goswamy, though he is overly aggressive, forms opinions for himself , wants others merely to endorse him , by and large is as independent as The channel allows him. Karan Thapar,Arrasive to the point of repugnancy, yet he makes the people whom he interviews squirm and generally make an ass of themselves. In the process, in both these Journalists cases, the people spill the beans.

List of Media Journalists, Received Money From Government
Many of us naively believe that the Media is Free and we read what is News , not views in the garb of News. To me there are four types of Journalists. 1.Who write only the Truth in Public Interest. I am yet to see one.If any one has an idea, please let me know the details. This species is like mythical Gold Country. I can recall only two names which come closer to this category. ‘CHO’ Ramaswamy in Tamil, Late. Babaurao Patel of Mother India(English) 2.Those who write because of Political inclinations, like RK.Karanjia of Blitz(now defunct),DF Karaka (Current,now defunct) 3.Slight variation of the above category, Political Papers, Card holding Members. 4.Those who write for extortion 5..Government Protagonist. This class receives money from he Government, occasionally criticize the Government for Credibility(?) and sings praise of the Government,plant stories subtly. Listen to Radia Tapes how the Media is manipulated by Industrialists.(Filed under Radia Tapes) Pakistan Government has been foolish enough to have the list lying and was caught. They had to be released by a Supreme Court Order. I am reproducing excerpts and the List. Indian Government is smarter, or I am dumb, I am unable to find evidence of this. Story: The list of the 282 journalists who received payments and gifts from the secret fund of the information ministry was made public following a Supreme Court order. The complete list can be viewed as a PDF here, or scroll down to the bottom of this report. The list of disbursements totals just over Rs177 million.

Viswaroopam,”Could Have Banned “Facts By Jayalalithaa
.On 20 the when the officials went to Kamal Hassan’s residence to see the film ,as asked by Kamal Hassan , they were told that the Film release was being delayed and that he could not show them the Film. 5.In the meanwhile the Muslim announced a series of agitations of the film were to be released. 6. Then,Mr.Kamal Hassan requested for meeting with the CM . 7.As Mr.Kamal has already filed a case in the Court and as the matter was sub judice , CM did not meet him. 8.Immediately Kamal Hassan went to the media. 9.Later he agreed to effect changes as demanded by the Muslim outfits in a meet with the leaders of the Muslim outfits. 10.The Government had to resort to section 144 , as it apprehended a Law and order problem,one of organisations had more than7 Lakh members. 11.Had the Government wanted to ban the Film, it could have done so by invoking section 7 of Tamil Nadu Cinematograph Act,1955, as was done in the Film Dam 999. and he Court upheld the decision. 12.Notice of section 144 in force was for 15 Days and Mr.Kamal Hassan was asked to meet with the leaders and come to an amicable solution.. None of these were complied with by.Mr.Kamal Hassan. I think she is 100 % correct and it does not be hove of Kamal Hasan to twist fat and act an inured martyr.
