The Truth,The Twisted and The Hang-On

The Truth comes from The Times Of India.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/opinion/edit-page/If-not-excitement-2G-spectrum-auction-generates-plenty-of-lessons/articleshow/17233513.cms



The Twisted opinion comes from The Hindu.

The Nowhere editorial comes from The New Indian Express.

http://newindianexpress.com/editorials/article1341007.ece


The Times of India is confident about itself and its market position. It speaks facts.

The Hindu is paranoid and fixated on delivering what its 300,000 readers supposedly want. It can't afford to lose this 300,000 as it has not been able to get newer readers. If it cannot retain its traditional 300,000, then its trajectory becomes wretched. Some of the 300,000 were just waiting for such a reassurance that not all is lost. The editor would have spent quite a lot of time in fashioning this case for his clientele. The fellow has no way of knowing the proportion of his clientele who are able to think by themselves. hence, the fellow plays it safe and positions himself at the extreme end. For, he has all to lose, if the 300,000 start trickling away.

The New Indian Express is going nowhere. It will serve something near about 200,000 people. These are the ones who like swamy gurumurthy and konraad elst. So, it just delivers a standard opinion that does itself no harm or good. This fellow has no necessity to try hard to make a case. The bland statement is enough. In a way, this fellow has the best position. Nothing to lose.his 200,000 are not going anywhere. they know that once in a month, swamy, gurumurthy, or the equivalent of a koenraad elst will come along. ensuring that is the job of the editor.

All the three editors are involved in the game of capitalism, and hence would have a clear idea of the mass murder that was committed by the CAG on the people of our country. Due to varying states of their position in the market, their opinion is packaged accordingly.

What is the final summary.

These papers are items of Time Pass. Which all of us will patronise as long as there is nothing offensive to our state of existence. A popular opinion evolves and spreads across the population, completely unrelated to the pretensions of media, especially those who pretend that they are somehow elevated from the rest.


A serious newspaper headed by a serious editor comes out with analytic articles. this is meritorious journalism. the fourth pillar of democracy.

Its time for THE reality check



krishnaswamy from chennai---It is a SAD day in the history of Judiciary. A criminal who cheated the nation to the tune of Rs 175000 Crores is let off without hanging. Commom man will loose faith in Judiciary if Raja likes people walk freely in the streets. Now Raja will be thinking how much more Crore he will loot in the next 1 or 2w Years. He will be begging PM to give him Minister post so that he can loot many more crores before goin g into Jail again. God save India



 

the show has ended. now, it is time for us to find out who is repentant and who thrives on falsehood. we shall see what the editors of newspapers write tomorrow.

the electronic media does not have the potential for soul-searching. 

they are condemned to be scam-searching, and as a result, scum-searching.

Times Of India Readers Far more Knowledgeable Than The Hindu's

Manch from BLR says,

A classic example of how "Corporate Mafia" is working with "Political Mafia" to subvert interests of common people... Their point is we have already paid the (illegal) "FEES" to United Plunderers Alliance (UPA), now why we are charged again to pay a "LEGAL" fees this time?  krishna from bareilly says This is an Illegal cartelisation and high level Illegal collision among telecom companies and further to reduced the credibility of CAG because the CAG apprehened loss 1.8 lacs carores and government & telecom companies want to reduced the prices much much below the loss quoted.   soma visal from chennai says Will there be an appeal at the SC by Sibal & Co confirming zero loss theory and seek a closure report on 2G case? she also saysSure there is some nexus between the netas and the corporates. Total cartelisation to fool the Nation and revert to 2008 prices, thus giving a clean chit to Raja etc and challenging the CAG.  Rama from delhi says CAG Vinod Rai should be impeached by parliament for playing with Indian economy for last 2-3 years. BJP should be punished for being hand-in-glove with CAG by de-recognized the party for 2 years. CAG should be made 3-member body so that stupids like Vinod Rai don't take nation for ride.   shikha from delhi replies to rama you need psychiatric help, seriously.   amar from germany says, Easy solution for all the telecom operators. Don't bid. The unused spectrum will most probably go to BSNL for "free". The operators can then go for a spectrum sharing agreement with BSNL, and get it for much cheaper price. No one buys BSNL SIM anyways. It will be a win-win.  mthusain from dubai says CAG will bring the customers? He thinks government is charging very low  swordfish from seoul says Do you guys know that IT parks and SEZs in India are exempted from tax? I think CAG should also find the presumptive loss (in terms of tax forgone) of all IT parks and SEZs and quote a funny number. This presumptive loss should be splashed all over the media. Let us see the thamsha   http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Spectrum-auction-gets-lukewarm-response-in-initial-rounds/articleshow/17191892.cms   http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/2g-auction-govt-receives-bids-over-rs-9200-crore-on-day-1/article4089934.ece

urban chaos

mj akbar writes about communal violence in delhi mumbai bangalore and ahmedabad.
the cities do not have the traditional social structures which allows communal organisations to whip up passions and insecurity.
the poison is then spread to the towns.
the bjp recently had a meeting in salem which witnessed some clashes.

swapan dasgupta throws in his bit,i cant fathom what is it that one could gain from his writing,he is stuck to his affiliations and he gets the space to hang on to them in a newspaper.
he is probably destined to stay imprisoned in his fallacies.
does he feel let down by celebrity led spirit of civil resilience.
its all downhill from here,swapan dasgupta.

educated yet foolish

gautam adhikari writing in the times of india would have us believe that the media in our country is a non-profit organisation existing solely and wholely for the creation of a classless society.
he was massively agitated with the ministry of information and broadcasting for trying to regulate the media.
he would also have us believe that journalists have nothing on their minds except that cause.
education seems to rob some people of all their bearing.
they end up totally frustrated.
the anger that gautam adhikari summoned today is a poor reflection of the youth of today.
they get excited at the most trivial issues and vent their feelings loudly .
this kind of a reaction was given indulgence by the times of india in their op-ed page today.
