n rams and p sainaths orgy

young readers of the hindu who had not heard of the word orgy were introduced to the word today.

http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/article1515930.ece

p sainath earns the label of crony journalist today, joining siddharth varadarajan, in the list of over-wise and over-foolish at the same time journalists, who think they know better than the people whose interests they are supposedly forwarding.

at the very opening of his article, p sainath makes it clear to us that he is a crony who has wasted our time, and all the respect that he has accumulated in the past, is smashed to smithereens.

the crony writes that," In six years from 2005-06, the Government of India wrote off corporate income tax worth Rs.3,74,937 crore — more than twice the 2G fraud — in successive Union budgets.

this crony reveals that he has the same thinking of j jayalalithaa of the aiadmk, when he imputes about a 2g fraud being 176000 crores. the common folk of our country have by now realised that 176000 is a number thrown up by an unthinking bureauctic exercise, which is now being milked by the opposition parties, and disrupted an entire session of parliament.

will n ram write an editorial about how his taking up of the bofors investigation has benefited the country, except conferring a halo on his newspaper, and gaining it some respectability. the same game is on again, with p sainath having stirred back to life, with his wise articles again.

the crony writes further," Also fascinating is that the same classes benefit in multiple ways from all three write-offs. But how much does revenue foregone under corporate income tax, excise and customs duty add up to across the years? We have baldly stated budget figures for six years starting 2005-06, when the total was Rs.2,29,108 crore. To the current budget where it is more than double that sum at Rs.4,60,972 crore. Add up the figures since 2005-06 and the grand total is Rs.21,25,023 crore. Or close to half a trillion U.S. dollars. That is not merely 12 times the 2G scam losses."

we are led to confirming that whatever the crony has written is notional and presumptive, as are the losses from the 2g spectrum allocation.

the crony also tells,"Sounds more like the argument now making the rounds in some Tamil Nadu villages that nothing was looted in the 2G scam — that's the money translating into cheaper calls for the public."

this sad crony is a one-sided buffoon, that is the conclusion. he cannot write about average revenue per user before A Raja took over and ARPU  now. but, he surely can   avoid writing that the people do not know as mush as he does.

the crony will come up with more, let us await the evolution of the cronies.

another one bites the dust

one more reputed journalist has fallen victim to the pitfall of the 2g hullabaloo. joining n ram, prabhu chawla, and vir sanghvi is p sainath. all he talks makes sense, even his anger that makes him label the government an integrity-challenged Cuckoo is acceptable. but when he wades and generalises into the 2g spectrum issue, he loses all the reputation for hard-hitting factual journalism that he is renowned for. it is as if n ram had requested him to make a reference to the 2g spectrum, and having given it some thought, p sainath comes up with his take of an auction actually having taken place.

http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/article1476075.ece

in the process, he reveals that he himself is an integrity-challenged Cuckoo.

he tells,"Having been gifted that scarce public-owned resource by the government, the cronies then auctioned it privately for astronomical sums of money."

he also joins the band of Indian journalists, who generally talk about astronomical sums of money derived by swan telecom and unitech. we have a doubt now, about whether p sainath actually knew as much as we were led to believe he knew, by this folly of a statement. the much-talked about p sainath is also just one another media moron, we are presumed to believe now. where does the astronomical sum of money gained by swan and unitech go? not even sainath wants to venture into this and tell things as he sees it.

how can he do that when he writes for an editor who tells,"no further time should be lost in getting to the bottom of the biggest scam in the history of independent India."

http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/article1478893.ece

this guy who writes editorials at the Hindu is so fixated on this being the biggest scam in history that he makes a song and dance about it at every opportunity. the supposedly-left leaning person will next tell that the entire telecom sector is made of scamsters. the whole thing is in fact the biggest wild goose chase in the history of the world, not only in the history of independent India. not one media house has had the ability to delve into the issues with a honest approach. all of them wanted to grab the issue on a daily basis, and wanted to utilize it in some petty manner. if the highlight of this whole sordid media spectacle is the hindu calling it the biggest scam in independent India, then p sainath has gone past that with his wisecrack about astronomical sums of money, which makes him just perfect for the description of integrity-challenged Cuckoo.

p sainath

these leeches, Deaf Ears, parasites,

some of the words used to describe our parliamentarians in this website.

http://indiaoftomorrow.blogspot.com/2011/01/wake-up-jago-bharat-jago.html

next, we can look at an article by the crusader p.sainath, who talks about lemmings. sainath has no time for a group of ministers. he seems to have a case against vilasrao deshmukh, but in the same breath, wields his criticism at kapil sibal, manmohan singh, montek singh, and george bush also.

http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/article1130826.ece

so, what has happened in the country that merits such descriptions. everyone seems to be gainfully employed, and at the same time grappling with price rise too. are the masses bearing the brunt of prices because some body is levying a toll or an unfair tax on them, that grabs a big proportion of their money from them? what is the point being made? are we at the mercy of a despotic form of government, that has no care for the people? then, what is the problem? are farmers dying because of utter disregard of the government? if that is so, there is something fundamentally wrong in the state of maharashtra and its politicians. if such a massively unpardonable misgovernance that allowed 30,000 farmers to commit suicide, cannot bring the opposition to power, what are the reasons for that?

is the picture all over the country that of an unresponsive government and unresponsive politicians. is the politician desperate to use politics to get established in the money game. is every politician just thinking about how to make more and more money. is every politician least bothered about the people? does every politician tell his constituency to get lost when they go to him with their problems?

if all of that were true, is there no way to work out an alternative? if there was no chance for an alternative, then there would be despondency or angry reaction? is that what we are getting to see in such articles in our media?
