I recently shifted from Toilet of India to Hindustantimes. It has nothing to do with the quality of news ToI covers, its just that I find myself just not capable to appreciate the beauty of ‘breaking news’ reporting. I do understand that people who end up doing nothing in life, end up being journalist at ToI. People who don’t understand abc of finance, get to cover the Satyam fiasco and blame anything they can lay their hands on. For them, any professional is same as those illiterate politicians and any drama in the corporate world is same as those orchestrated by those filthy politicians. ToI is a paper of the politicians, for the politicians and by slightly more demented politicians.
The kind of reporting ToI has done in the Satyam scandal, can easily qualify it for the reward of rediff of print media. The news items were pathetic, astonishing and provocative. The quality of journalism hasn’t just been compromised, it has been murdered. The most surprising about the whole drama was the fact that people who were never even heard of, were now heard blaming respected institutions and professionals. If it were to me, I would love to sue ToI for a amount so huge that all those demented journalist put together cannot earn all there lives.
Its high time for ToI to either look at better places for recruitment or start a full time propaganda channel.
Ooooournam, the anchor of 9 o’clock news on Times Now, rocks!
