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.
