Claim to Shame!!!!

They have already wrote it off claiming it to be a normal practice of journalists. But the conversations say it all. Now the question is that, do these self proclaimed larger than life journalists – Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghvi – who do not miss a single opportunity to go overboard and 'cut the politicians to size' – really have a face to anchor talk shows and write full page articles on serious issues of national importance?
In my opinion, no. They do not have right to do that. While the entire nation is doubting their integrity as journalists – which in my opinion Ms Dutt lost long back when she aired the combat plan of Indian Army during Kargil War while working for Star News – should at once stop coming on screen or in print. Given their proximity with the power centre of the nation, no wonder they are honoured with the civil award such as Padmashree.
Surprisingly, when people on streets, buses and local trains of Mumbai were discussing the conversations, Ms Dutt was anchoring the talk show on the topic of huge money wasted as the opposition has stalled the Parliament over demand of constituting JPC to probe telecom scam.
Mr Roy, if you want to save whatever TRP NDTC has, please stop Ms Dutt from being even mentioned about on your channel.
The electronic media, especially self proclaimed elite English and the rowdy Hindi – should concentrate on better stories than wasting time and money on projecting how they are great and everyone else is stupid.
