Come to think of it..and if you take a macro level look, this is no sporadic case of corporate bullying . Its a first ever symbolic case of one media trying to suppress and challenge the firepower and impact of the other. It's just not burkha dutt / NDTV vs CHETANYA KUNTE. Take A broader look guys . Its much more than what it appears to be.It's a first ever media war trying to prove respective mights between electronic elevision Baed news media vs, the neo natal Internet ..to be specific The blog media or the might of the bloggers. Television channels have relized or will soon realize the tremendous fire power and capabilities of organised bloggers who can break the syndicate and monopoly of news channels. What this actually means is all thats shoved ino us by Television channels can now easily be chalenged with more facts and open ended views of countless bloggers , who can chain react a massive public awareness drive giving the top ended readers the other sides of the story. Lets leave Burkha or no Burkha suue. Lets look at this issue fromm a 360 degree. i think its the first ever reported case of two channels fighting it out . Interesting. At the same time , I personally condemn the irresponsible gesture adopted by no one else but NDTV. supposedly a mature News Channel of the country. As For Burkha, I personally hold her amongst the top nes media professionals of India. What baffles me is NDTV AND Burkha's decision of going legal after a Harmless individual. Had it been a corporate group or an entity of a considerable size, it could have been still understandable. By sueing chetanya, NDTV Has so daftly demonstrated their myopic vision and insecurity. Without a doubt Burkha has covered some unprecedented missions and with brilliance. This includes 26 x 11. sad ! the entire sanctity of a serious channel like NDTV got washed for an avoidable issue that could easily have been ignored and passed of as insignificatnt by ndtv. what surprises me more is the insecurity of such a gigantic and well established channel who's led by no other icons on indian media than Dr. Pranoy Roy. The bhishma Pitamaha of Indian electronic media. But Like i said. all this should not be seen with myopic vision. its not about barkha vs chetanya. Its the outbreak / begioning of two mighty media of the democratic turf of India . Dr. Roy. are you listening ? Shameful, sham, hypocrisy, media Mafiadom by channel group that self appointed itself as India’s only ‘organised, professionally orchestrated electronic news channel ‘ that can be equated with America’s CNN, BBC, FOX, SKY and what have you.

And yeah.. how many bloggers can NDTV silence? If someday some blogger wanna go on a rampage against barkha dutt or anyone from the mainstream media, he/she can create a million blogs on wordpress and blogger and almost half of the india would have read about it before the can go and stop that!

When Scarlett Keeling was raped and killed in Goa and the needle of suspicion pointed to a strong nexus between the Goan Ministers, the drug mafia and the sex racketeers, the media played it very safe by conveniently choosing not to pursue the leads from the investigation. When a 14-year-old German girl was raped by Rohit Monserrate, the 21-year-old son of Goa Education Minister Atanasio Monserrate who is also a powerful political figure in Goa, and the girl’s mother was repeatedly harassed and their lawyer was grievously injured in order to coerce him to withdraw from the case, the Media didn’t find anything extraordinary in that. When Taslima Nasreen’s press conference was rudely disrupted and chairs and all sorts of dangerous objects were thrown at her in full glare of the cameras by the “secular” muslim jihadis of Hyderabad lead by the MLAs of Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), the Media didnt at all find anything amiss in that. When Laxmi Oraon, an Adivasi woman was brutally thrashed and paraded naked through the streets of Guwahati, Assam, with the whole police paraphernalia and official state machinery in tow, the Media chose to downplay the episode since, the victim was a hapless adivasi woman from the lower strata of society. The Media felt that since all the above unsavoury incidents had occured in the states lead by Madam Sonia Antonia Maino’s puppets, it is all perfectly legitimate and absolutely secular and progressive.
