If you report on others with impunity, you gave to realize that you are liable to be reported. She makes no bones about blasting Hindus and brandishes about safron brigade being murderers. But when LeT or Alquaida attack, she comes out before anyone has even reported any reactions to say that terror has no religion. This should tell you that she ia not an objective or even an honest journalist. Now she has been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. In any other country, her career will be history and her freedom will be under judgement.

Every sensible person knows that you were merely defending the indefensible by defending Barkha. But, you cleverly attacked N.

Your post undoubtedly hits them the hardest.<br /><br />Let me be clear. Any intelligent person would understand that your defence of Barkha was deliberately fake and was with a purpose(and also satirical to somebody who really knows your gifted mind).

Sir, you could have directly hit at Ram directly and not under the garb of defending the indefensible. <br /><br />Your point that too much focus is on her is correct but to suggest that her coverage of Hindu terror may be a reason for that is too far-fetched. Perhaps, you have some exclusive information regarding this. If yes, would request you to share that in the next post. <br /><br />One can question the motive behind leaking selective tapes but the conversations are self-explaining and there is no doubt that her credibility has taken a huge beating.Canaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442793089465339020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-17684940697890320552010-12-05T17:33:46.518-08:002010-12-05T17:33:46.518-08:00I just watched the NDTV program with Barkha Dutt t...I just watched the NDTV program with Barkha Dutt trying to defend herself.

To air such a show on TV shows that these guys are green horns or they are so arrogant that they don't care. If they are trying to defend her reputation, that is un-defendable. Any moron knows that.

Your analysis is incomplete.
Why ...Dear Mr.Raman,<br /><br />Your analysis is incomplete.<br /><br />Why BDutt was in touch with Radia is elementary. ("source")<br /><br />The real question is why Radia was in touch with BDutt. The reasons could be:<br /><br />1. Radia was aware of the effective power brokering activities of BDutt with Congress.<br /><br />2. Radia had/has used BDutt to implant stories to tilt public opinion in favor of her corporate and political clients.<br /><br />3. BDutt is her bosom friend.<br /><br />Sentences like "No one is accusing BDutt of corruption" is not acceptable. How do you know? How do you know unless you investigate her financial transactions as well verify her past activities?Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638082132291291130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-81821360742332906402010-12-01T10:31:18.782-08:002010-12-01T10:31:18.782-08:00Well are we to believe what both vir and bdutt say...Well are we to believe what both vir and bdutt say!

Now how can we believe that radia, who is a corporate lobbyist for no other than tata's, is so stupid and gullible that she believes bdutt is telling her the truth and also that she is so naive to not know that she is being "carried along" to get the news. Will a lady of such power and position not be in the know if these journos are credible (and reliable) or not? And radia has long used media to get her messages published / aired... is she so stupid to talk to these people who can get a scoop and become hero's overnight? she knows and KNOWS too well that they are precisely what they are- go-betweens and message relays between lobbyist/corporates and the party.

Go figure out yo...This is a summary of the 5 tapes. Go figure out yourself<br /><br />The conversations are sometime after the 2009 elections and before the formation of the UPA coalition. Radia has good contacts who update her about every little thing.<br /><br />Tape 1: Radia and barkha are talking about a fresh rift between DMK and UPA. This rift was caused by DMK member baalu who revealed to the media that DMK has withdrawn support to the UPA. This has angered manmohan singh. Barka asks radia for some suggestions to proceed further wrt congress. Radia tells barkha to convince the congress to talk to karunanidhi directly but in private because she claims that k-nidhi is intimidated by his party-men like baalu and maran. She suggests expulsion of baalu. The two then talk about cabinet seats. In the side, congress has said something about maran which radia points out. Barkha tells radia that NDTV has stopped airing that particular footage.<br /><br />Tape 2: Radia tells barkha that congress(particularly, the PM) doesn’t plan to give infrastructure portfolio to maran or baalu and that those two have been informed about it. But the two have withheld that particular info from k-nidhi. Radia tells barkha to instruct the congress to convey this withheld info to k-nidhi through kanimozhi. Barkha assures radia that she will meet gulam nabi azad(congress leader) at the PM’s residence and tell him about what needs to be done. Kanimozhi tells radia that DMK party-men are no longer updating k-nidhi on the day to day events.<br /><br />Tape 3: Barka has had long chats with unknown congress leaders. She tells radia that the congress is now ready to take maran, raja or whoever. The congress has promised barkha that they will send ghulam nabi azad to talk to the DMK men. Meanwhile, the DMK men are undermining k-nidhi orders again. K-nidhi’s daughter, kanimozhi is the only one that follow his orders. She has been instructed to leave the city @ 5pm. In tape 2, ghulam nabi azad is supposed to meet kanimozhi. Barkha calls azad and informs kanimozhis plans of leaving the city.<br /><br />Tape 4: Navika kumar on timesnow thinks that congress will not give anything to maran, raja and baalu. Barkha asks radia whether navika’s assertions are true. Radia tells barkha that navika is wrong. They then talk about maran, raja and baalu on which cabinets they demand.<br /><br />Tape 5: K-nidhi previously instructed dayanidhi not to attend the swearing in ceremony. Dayanidhi claims that congress leader ahmed patel had specially requested him to attend. Barkha privately enquires with patel about it but patel says that he never forwarded such a request. K-nidhi tells dayanidhi in his face to join congress. Dayanidhi does not attend.Nynolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909443674608239857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-46569211360208566072010-12-01T01:50:31.923-08:002010-12-01T01:50:31.923-08:00Mr Raman,that you now choose to defend a congress ...Mr Raman,that you now choose to defend a congress party fixer, indicates that even your own political predilections stand exposed.Rickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935542041964798377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-90394114868166816092010-12-01T01:37:24.844-08:002010-12-01T01:37:24.844-08:00Good defence, sir, but you are defending the indef...Good defence, sir, but you are defending the indefensible.
