Does whatever happens need to be reported immediately?
The Television channels Headlines Today, Aaj Tak and Sahara Samay (please add more)
Since when did news become Bollywood movies. While the bombs are blowing all over the city and the channels showing it… but with background music and et. all. If I want to hear background music or need my emotions super charged I will watch a movie or eat Viagra like chole bhature. Why the fuck do I need it if I just want to see the news.
Shiv Aroor from Headlines Today is called a 'Defense Correspondent"… what the fuck does it actually mean? Seriously what does it mean? Has he been on some war fronts to report for his channel or is he an analyst of some kind. Because by his looks he seems to be someone who's just stepped out of the ghetto land, picked up the mic, learnt the spellings of Defense Correspondent and screams in his mic "Israel is stupid to say our commandoes didn't plan well, " and continues his defense of the Indian security forces - which is good, at the expense of bashing up Israel's statement - not good. This perhaps is the age of school dropouts becoming 'Defense Correspondents' which by the way I still have no idea what it means.
Zaka Jacob (Headlines today), Idiots (Aaj Tak), More Idiots (Sahara Samay, CNN IBN)
The army, cops and NSG had repeatedly asked the television channels to not reveal ANY sensitive information, because the terrorists inside may be watching TV or may be talking via their satellite phones to those who would be watching TV, thereby passing to the terrorists the latest information and clues about the battle, hostages, hotel situations etc. As it did, the terrorists did get a lot of information from the television channels.
Mr. Jacob makes a statement, which goes something like "The guests are being asked to remain in their rooms and not open the doors for their safety. They should not let terrorists know in any way where they are"
In less than sixty seconds the camera zooms to the 19th floor where a women in her room stands anxious and Mr. Jacob announces of TV "Look there is woman on the 19th floor". A few hours later the terrorists are on the 19th floor. No one talked about what happened to the woman.
Aaj Tak and Sahara Samay have the cameras capturing the NSG commandoes dropping down on the roof of Nariman House. But this is not enough. They announce "The copter came 3 times and dropped 5, then 4 then 5 commandoes"… Sahara even captures on TV the commandoes dropping ropes and announces "they are going to probably come down via the ropes and attack the terrorists"
As if they were concerned, that the terrorist watching TV or those watching TV passing information to the terrorist may not understand as to who were the men dressed in black dropping from helicopters on the roof of the house - they actually CIRCLED IN RED each of the men in the black. THEN THEY DREW A RED ARROW. Then they Printed "Commando" above the arrow.
Just to clear any confusion you, me or the terrorists may have over who the fuck the men in black were and what the fuck were they doing on the roof of Nariman House. Now after drawing the circle, arrow and label over the men in black we know, they are commandoes. It helped clear our confusion… cause I was thinking they were the morning free loaders of Mumbai who took their lotta early morning and looked for the cleanest corner in the city's streets to shit in.
I've been told that even the respected channel CNN-IBN wasn't behind in its buffoonery. Apparently the news reporter of that channel went
"We've been told by the NSG commandoes not to reveal the number of commandoes and such vital information because they suspect the terrorists may be watching TV… but still let me tell you there are 35 commandoes that are inside…"
As mentioned earlier, we truly live, in land of idiots.
(d) A. Banerjee and the forced to speak in English reporters of Headlines Today
First. Mr. Banerjee. No problems with his English. A big problem with the following statement he makes the first morning post the beginning of the battle - when he sees the streets of Mumbai are empty unlike the past when the "spirit of Mumbai" was in full glory next day of the blasts… Mr. Banerjee goes "I'm ashamed to see… no people… where is the spirit…"
That is one of the most shameful statements anyone could have ever made in dissing Mumbai. But three days later. No apologies no nothing. It's as if it never happened.
And the reporters on the field being asked to speak in English and all you could hear "AAAAAA UUUUUU HMMMMMMM afkasljfourp ouqwruutrfgj jgslbjsbvn,vbnmrtu p5778825098ajgflk asdjl;ajfgajfoajvl;aj vljfklj " - if you can decipher that, you are God
