Barkha Dutt Now Targets Amazon
Like Britney (or was it Christina ?) Spears said “oops I did it again”. The large, pan India group of people who support Narendra Modi and the BJP or (trolls/thugs/Sanghis/Hindu Wahabists—take your pick) have managed to get under the skin of a famous liberal one more time. And how! Social media ki jai ho!!
The facts are these: Barkha Dutt of the Radia Tapes notoriety wrote a book and put it up on Amazon for sale. Taking a cue from Rajdeep Sardesai, who made any life insurance salesman look coy with his book’s promotion on social media, Barkha Dutt wrote on Twitter that her book was in some bestseller list on Amazon.
It turned out, like many better men and women before her, Barkha Dutt had spoken too soon. In the next 24 hours, the bad reviews began pouring in and the ratings of the book slid like Arvind Kejriwal’s credibility after Feb 2014. At the time of writing this piece, her book was rated by over 1000 people and the numbers stood as follows: 990 with one star (poor) 25 with five stars (outstanding).
Like any good liberal, Barkha Dutt lost her temper. She immediately wrote a whiny post on Facebook that hinted at some broad conspiracy to bring the ratings of the book down. However, the onslaught of bad reviews continued and her book’s ratings slid from 4 yesterday to 1 today. At last Barkha Dutt took to Twitter and wrote the following:
Dear Amazon @Amazonin shocked to see you allow your forum to be misused by abusive trolls and are unable to filter book-buyers from this lot.
Frankly @Amazon @Amazonin to see trolls “review” (in poor grammar) books they haven’t read makes you just another tasteless online forum.
And that’s how it pans out. Amazon becomes a tasteless online forum because Barkha Dutt’s book gets panned by ordinary readers who simply don’t like it. And this from a woman who as a TV host has presided over countless nights of people screaming at each other in an incoherent cacophony. BTW yesterday somebody on Twitter showed at least 2 five star reviews coming from unverified purchasers and, hold your breath: the accounts belonged to NDTV employees. So Barkha Dutt has no ideological objection to folks reviewing her book without buying/reading it—her beef is with folks who give negative reviews.
That irony aside, there is an underlying trend evident in this rant that worries me a lot, primarily because it is getting manifested time and again only from one side of public discourse.It is that trend and not Barkha Dutt’s rant that is the inspiration behind this essay.
A few days ago, Nobel Laurete Amartya Sen was quoted as saying “to see social media as the voice of public opinion would give the “hounds” an unearned victory”. This was followed by “touche’ Sir” by Sagarika Ghose.
Well, first of all, how is it that Sen branding those who oppose him as dogs is never quoted as an example of how abusive Twitter as a medium has become? People like Sen (and journos like Barkha Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, et al) are repeating what has been the Left’s party line across countries for over a century “if you do not agree with our view points, you are basically a morally deficient human being “.
The very use of the term “trolls” used only in reference to the so-called right wing social media users also inevitably points in the same direction: if you support the right cause, you are morally deficient. If you are morally deficient then your line of thinking in opposing our view point is of no consequence. You are basically noise, something we, the liberal elite should only wrinkle our noses at and move on. Responding to you point wise, would be for us to stoop to your level.
Elsewhere, I talked at length about why journalists as a community are so foul mouthed on social media. I have argued that due to the unfiltered nature of social media, it has now become impossible to mask popular opinion even if it is at odds with the narrative the so-called mainstream media wants to build. And that has resulted in a high level of frustration, primarily because let’s face it: nobody likes to know how unpopular their opinions are.
So the left liberal brigade invented terms like “trolls” and because of the institutional nature of its GroupThink, it quickly began to dismiss even fair criticism as “trolling”.
[contextly_sidebar id=”lCSQvHrZUuSQy43MKlnMX6ibgPl5l3CJ”]
Of course, that was not enough. As any absurd premise is likely to, the idea of even civil people being ridiculed and branded as online thugs quickly died the death of overuse. Feisty “right wingers” changed their handles to incorporate “trolls/internet hindus” and other assorted denigrating monikers and fought the Left’s ridiculousness with hilarity, humour and sarcasm. The left realized their dismissal of criticism as trolling was widely and accurately being seen as fleeing the battlefield.
And here is where I admire the Left’s collective ability to dissect a problem and identifying those minute points where applying even the slightest of the pressure would be enough to turn the tide.
The Left recognized two problems it faced on social media:
- Popular opinion was wildly against them, mainly because of the hidden elitism that the Left has been supporting in all their ideology
- Freedom of speech, the principle that the left has been using to wage an ideological war on the state can be a deadly weapon in the hands of normal, everyday people. People were tired of watching these elites holding candle light marches to spare mass murderers, and watching concocted debates defending the AK47-wielding maniacs mowing down our law enforcement personnel in cold blood, and outraged at these so-called free thinkers and liberals staying mute while the corrupt Nehru dynasty ran the country to the ground.
So, for the past few months, their response to this has been consistent:
Statements made by Amartya Sen like above (and quickly endorsed by Ghose) makes the point that the the people’s popular opinion in a democracy is bad, that popular opinion and not corrupt regimes muzzle free speech. Popular opinion, Sen argues is what allows mobs to rampage on streets plundering and killing. Sen basically says that democracy is only ok so long as the popular opinion is in line with what the self-appointed guardians of liberties hold as truth. If popular opinion sways from their narrative it is quickly seen as muzzling of free speech.
In simple terms, this is the most direct attack on free speech. And what is worse, it tries to make this attack by reserving free speech as the exclusive right of the elite. The argument is this: since Sen is highly educated it is ok for him to criticize Modi, but if a Modi supporter criticizes him back then the supporter is not qualified enough to talk about a Nobel Laurate.
A few days back when Saint Aamir khan made his supremely disgusting remark above leaving the country, I wrote an article on opindia.com about it. The immediate response of my liberal friends was why was I attacking Amir’s right to free speech?
It took a while to point out that I was not, and that I was merely exercising my own right to free speech. Free speech is an inalienable right of every individual, it is not a bully whip to allow the tyranny of minority opinion to run riot against basic decency and commonsense.
The argument against majority opinion goes like this: if you say whatever majority says is right, then what if the majority decides they do not want people from one particular religion in India or people with a certain sexual orientation should be put to death?
The last time I looked, countries that persecuted people based on their religions or threw gay people off towers were not democratic countries. Second, our constitution makers have created sufficient checks and balances to ensure that tyrannical majority opinions, if any, get weeded out. Last and most importantly, the very idea of masses as blood thirsty savages to be kept in rigid checks by a few intelligent and conscientious individuals is incredibly insulting and elitist.
The second tactic used by the left is a constant effort to regulate the social media and the online space in general. To do this, they often insinuate that all free speech is hate speech.
Barkha Dutt’s anger at Amazon is for their “inability to filter”. Women who use hashtags like #chupchutiye become the #bahadubetis under attack from the barbaric patriarchal trolls for being a woman. Shruti Seth endowed with delusions of celebrityhood was attacked on social media for being incredibly stupid. Her being a woman was only incidental.
The strategy is simple: amplify the abusive nature of Twitter selectively and argue that violence on social media is but a prelude to violence on streets. Demand protection (for women/minority/intellectual/journos-whatever bully-whip you can lay your hands on) and also decide how the protection should be given.
Propose that the only solution is monitoring social media rigidly, making police complaints, asking abuse of women on social media be made non-bailable (while happily abusing right wing women at the same time. Check HRD Minister Smriti Irani’s timeline for examples).
All this activism is nothing but intimidation tactics to muzzle dissent. Activists like Vrinda Grover, Kavita Krishnan and Aruna Roy wrote an open letter to Times Now anchor Arnab Goswami titled “stop fostering hate speech against us” in which their primary complaint was news anchors allowing panellists using terms like “anti-nationals” “ terrorists” and “ naxals” against them.
Think about it. In the twisted liberal philosophy supporting mass murderers or separatists constitutes free speech. But naming them for what they are is hate speech. Ministers like Maneka Gandhi who promise special laws against people abusing women on social media (it is open season on men apparently) only do their bidding.
Should free speech be absolute? Should not there be a line for hate speech? I agree with American talk show host Bill Maher who says “free speech only works if nobody gets a waiver”. In the absence of this absolute what we are discussing is not really free speech but who should hold censorship rights.
A conscientious society will reduce hate mongers to nothingness through constant opposition and starve them with lack of attention. It does not need to muzzle their voice through censorship. Please remember, a society that protects the rights of a hate monger to free speech will protect all of us.
Why fight this? Because the issues at hands concern our everyday lives. If we do not defend our ability to speak our mind, the next one to be taken from us will be the ability to decide. Amartya Sen calling us dogs for speaking our mind is the logical first step in taking our rights to make laws we think are fair. After all where in the world do dogs get to decide what they want?
And to fight fire with fire, we must take a leaf from Barkha Dutt’s book and direct our anger not at her but at Amazon. We need to explain to Amazon that it is our right to criticize and rate the products and any attempt to change it will be seen as infringement of our rights as their consumers.
Dear Amazon India,
We were shocked to see Barkha Dutt openly asking you to delete adverse reviews of her book. Your policy allows only existing buyers to rate and review and as clients who have placed business with you in the past (in my case, the past was 12.30 pm yesterday) we have a right to warn you not to delete or in any way change the ratings Ms. Dutt’s book is getting.
Client reviews is a powerful tool in a fair online marketplace and any e-tailer who allows itself to be bullied by sellers in editing out adverse reviews out is , in our eyes, not only unreliable but also without business ethics.
We are sure you will choose well, especially since Ms Dutt has not spared you from her rant either. But should you decide to give in to her bullying, please be advised that we are within our rights to publicize your unfair business practices as a caution to prospective buyers.
Trust you to choose well.
Warm Regards
Mayuresh
Excellent post……Left brigade has been constantly harassing BAHARAT……n hopefully….they are getting diminished by day by day…..
Don’t know why nationalists keep playing into crypto-monotheists’ hands by dismissing the latter’s monotheisticly-motivated treachery as mere “communism” etc. Barkha Dutt sequentially married 2 Kashmiri muslims. The second one is a known traitor.
1. Facebook page: HindustanSuraksha/posts/674216532610400
2. Facebook page: bilalhcl/posts/736790119695705
where one Bilal Ahmad–whose facebook home page doesn’t make him sound remotely Hindu, so he’s presumably a muslim as his name implies–continues on the theme with the following (so it’s not just “rightwing” nationalists/”Hindus” who are bothered by Barkha Dutt’s islamism):
Of course there is nothing “coincidental” about both of Barkha’s husbands being Kashmiri muslims and that one of them should have been outed as a known secessionist working for jihad, what’s more. The first husband is therefore in all probability a jihadi too, except Barkha managed to keep that part carefully under wraps–despite failing to conceal husband #2’s proclivities–while she continued to target Hindudom from behind the crypto cover to her monotheism.
A similar case is how N.Ram, (once) editor of the paper “The Hindu” that was taken over by crypto-monotheism, was also sequentially married to 2 christians (an Irish woman and then a Syrian christian in India) and which likewise explains his Hindu-baiting. He’s likely to be as christian–catholic, specifically–as Barkha is to turn out to be an islamist.
Don’t know why all such obvious monotheism–and monotheist motivation to Hindu-baiting–is covered up under a ruse of “vanilla communism” by people who otherwise seem to be aiming to expose the “true natures” of said baiters. Either expose them or don’t. But don’t become half-hearted about it when you discover that under the layers of crypto-ism of the baiters there is a definite monotheist impetus.
Speaking of nasty characters: since all anti-Hindu traitors are ultimately the same, I’m not surprised that Dr (P)MS has jumped in on behalf of Barkha Dutt–for the great and automatic virtue of Barkha sharing the same chromosomal configuration (XX) and for scheming against Hindu heathenism. Dr PMS is as poisonous –and as brainless, to be honest–as Barkha, except less famous (must be thankful for small mercies and all).
Wow what a superb collation of facts about this media whore. Nation is thankful to you and will make sure to spread it to as many nationalists as possible 🙂
All I did was copy and paste the information collated by others. Like you, I’m thankful to those that exposed these important details about Barkha.
Thank you Mayuresh for writing this. We common citizens of India are indebted to writers like you.
Well said. All the ideas & ‘movements’ emanating from the liberals (Communism, Feminism, Naxilism) have few things in common: claiming to be a victim, censorship of opposing views, de-humanizing the opponents, advocating use of force or reducing the freedom of those who oppose them (Tien-man anyone?), making up fake facts, and hypocrisy.
The pattern repeats, again and again. Sometime it is by use of lethal force (Communism, Naxalism) other times it is by use of censorship & de-humanizing your opponents (Feminism, Liberals).
Worse part, this works because the media is 90% liberal.
Beautiful, read entire article and shared it as well. This is called hitting the nail perfectly, only thing is that the nail is on a liberals head.
My own views have been very well articulated by Mayuresh. Barkha Dutt’s tapes need to be investigated more.
I like Burkha Dutt. I do not want to diss on our strong proactive ambitious women. There is enough division in India and among Indians that gives too many weapons to those who don’t like India, Indians, or India’s slow rise out of poverty and towards greater international influence. Though India has a long way to go.
But Burkha is no intellectual, nor an intelligent woman. She is loud, does not listen and does not read much. Her media role has been a lot of in your face personality. I do like her clothing style. Even smart Hillary, whose sharp on policy papers, research and historical controversies, cannot get away too much with “in your face personality”. You want bluster you got to be “at the top of the intellectual or information cadre”. Mediocrity or middle performance will not suffice.
Ms Dutt’s book, I heard, does not hold up to logical research and critical review very well. And this from people who like her and wish her the best.
Objectivity, neutrality, critical review, fact-check and diversity rigor are important in the world of book reviews. And, unfortunately Ms Dutt’s book falls low on that.
But Ms Dutt is a tough woman, I like that about her. She will jump back, accepting some and rejecting some reviews: fair or not. Its her toughness I admire. And as someone who has supported her voice for some liberal causes I would say..”Keep going Burkha. India needs more women with bluster. Just make sure you get all your facts right next time”.
Best wishes Ms Dutt
Dr.MS
Of course you’re so brainless you would support Barkha Dutt, who’s married to a secessionist jihadi Kashmiri Muslim. If anyone’s chromosomal configuration is XX and she’s whiny and rants, you’re always on their side. Traitor, much?
(Taken from a facebook page by one Bilal Ahmad:)
More proof that Dr PMS has no powers of discernment or any brains worth speaking of for that matter.
“But Ms Dutt is a tough woman, I like that about her.”
Then you’ll really admire other jihadi females, like those in the IS, who are more hands-on for the (monotheist) cause than Barkha: their being into murdering men, women and children. It’s their thing. You know, the thing you indirectly support while you pretend not to.
Traitor.
Said Dr PMS: “I like Burkha Dutt.”
Of course you do.
And if she was married to a rude arrogant Hindu like you you’d be suddenly praising her? I do not care who she is married to unless there is an overwhelming evidence that person is a Separatist or a Jihadist. She is not that smart in her analysis of issues. And you are not objective because you let your emotions rule your communication and content. How different are you from her? I see you being just like the way you complain about her.
“And if she was married to a rude arrogant Hindu like you”
Typical Dr PMS retort that’s but more proof of brainlessness.
And why would I be married to her?
– She’s a Hindu-baiter, crypto-monotheist and islamist.
– Also, I don’t swing that way. You ought to, though: after all, you’re the 3rd world wannabe feminist playing wannabe 1st worlder. (Which is also why nothing you’ve ever spouted here was original.) As such, all know you’re used to blindly following what your (obvious) betters have dictated for you:
(Don’t forget to blindly imitate that too.)
So speak for yourself. Besides, you and Barkha are very alike, as I noted: no brains, whiny, poisonous, treacherous. You’ll both get along swimmingly.
But your little statement has, however, further underlined my point that you have no powers of discernment, being brainless. Goes without saying you have no common sense either and hence can’t reason, as was obvious from your predictable and wrong conclusion that I “must be” male for daring to note that you are brainless. (This typically wrong assumption of yours is what was behind your failed “marriage to Barkha” accusation. Nice try though.)
It’s clear you were trying to whine “victimhood by the evil Hindu males” again. Sadly for you, that easy out failed. Poor you.
Now when I continue to accurately describe you as a moron, you know you can’t continue to play false victim (as you’ve always done here) by trying to excuse it away as discrimination against “your gender”.
“a rude arrogant Hindu like you”
Pot. Kettle. Black.
But hey, don’t you need to go back to playing a victim of “Hindu males” again and screeching against heathens and heathenism by falsely dubbing it “patriarchy”? Isn’t that what programmable, subverted entities like you do? Isn’t that all your kind ever does? (Not counting how you like to laughably wave about some qualifications–like PhDs, postdocs, associate/professorships–in some sad field within social ‘sciences’ as “evidence” of your ‘intelligence’. Don’t do it again. It impresses no one else: the rest of the world sniggers at just this, right?)
And the rest of us know how readily the dodgier among the social ‘science’ qualifications are conferred to 3rd world mentalities, because that is all the “1st world” thinks 3rd world minded traitors are good for. (And they’re right in their assessment, as none are so dimwitted and programmable. Case in point: you.)
“I do not care who she is married to unless there is an overwhelming evidence that person is a Separatist or a Jihadist.”
That’s why it’s called crypto-monotheism, duh. It’s more proof than the crypto-monotheists will ever like leaked about themselves.
And that her 2nd husband Haseeb Drabu is a secessionist–and a jihadi one at that–is just a fact. Here’s a summary of some further details of what IB revealed he was into.
“And you are not objective”
Said the person who always instantly concludes that anyone who criticises her must be doing so because they’re an “(evil, that is patriarchal) Hindu male”. Since no one could surely have any other reason to find fault with your programmed subversionist poison and your total lack of sense, right?
My objectivity is not in question. Go back to playing mindless cheerleader for the Barkha Dutts. It’s all you brainless wonders are good for.
Typical of arrogant third rate colonized emasculated co*& suc%$# with a small dick. How typical and cliched you are Anfauglir. You have been back and forthing so many colonial dicks you don’t know how to not compensate for your deep seated hurt and humiliation by constantly demeaning, degrading and disrespecting your community women. You cannot discuss or debate, but can only argue and attack because of deep seated insecurity and anger (typical of an emasculated colon ized fool with a small dick).
Sorry for your emasculated small dick trying to compensate or overcompensate by insulting women and those who disagree with you. How insecure and stupid do you have to be to behave this way? A lot. Sorry for your emasculated small dick. And stop being a colonized emasculated gay prostitute as well…
So you’re not just brainless but foul-mouthed too. How typical of your tacky type. And of course, as befits your type (the kind that keeps screeching its tertiary “qualifications”, however dubious), you can’t read either: you still go on about how I’m a male etc even after being told I’m not. Which is yet more proof that you’re an incorrigible moron. Q.E.D. Time for you to commit seppuku.
Do not write to me ever again…you third rate colonized bought out fool. Somebody said, “I don’t where this fool Anfauglir has been been but we are sure he is working for the CIA, Mossad, CIA and/or convert to the First Testament”. I wondered who they were talking about. I realize that likes of you are a dangerous plant. Do not write to me again you third rate colonized piece of dirt….Move to Alabama, Israel or wherever you come from. Men in my culture do not behave as you do. Do you understand? No get off my page.
you have compulsive abusive disorder and very poor reading skills,Anfauglir is not a MALE and is very clear from the comments.
“Men in my culture do not behave as you do”
we can see how Men behaves in your culture from your abuse and filthy language
“(Dr PMS has) compulsive abusive disorder and very poor reading skills”
I know, right?
When illiterate and -frankly- deranged people like that are awarded “PhDs”–in social engineering studies, admittedly–in the US, it just underlines how these poisonous basket-cases are only chosen (or rather handpicked) by the US etc. for the express purpose of internally dismantling and undoing unconverted Asian and other non-conforming nations & societies.
And you just keep digging a hole, don’t you? Like:
“Men … do not behave as you do.”
Again: I’m female. What part of that did you not comprehend, “Dr” PMS?
And with every pathetic retort from your end, you keep proving me right in my assessment of you as being nothing but a poisonous, treacherous, interminably whiny and abusive unsurpassed idiot and incurable misandrist. (That last is repeatedly underlined by how you will insist on concluding that anyone who criticises you–for being the obvious poisonous idiot that you are–“must be” male, even when they’re female like me.)
You’ve got to be the stupidest person. Ever.
I repeat: seppuku.
You are not a feminist or a woman…you are a thug. Get out of the country third rate. If somebody gave you a compliment and money you’d throw a bomb on an Indian or a Hindu or even a liberal. And no Anglo American is going to think of you as equal…so you can stop the charade and desperate need to whip me to please your colonial masters. How many dicks do you suck a day to be this brainwashed, crude and converted. Stop hiding behind names like Ann Fauglir. You are a Supremacist, and it is obvious.
To sum up:
1. With each retort you make you’ve done no more than repeatedly prove my assessment of you: that you’re whiny, treacherous, poisonous and brainless;
2. You have no points and no arguments, which is why you resort to falling back on your filthy foul mouth and your tendency to lie compulsively like a deranged fool; (lying, imbecility, and attacking heathens & heathenism is your thing)
3. To top it off, having at last overcome your inability to read (though I doubt it will last), you’ve now resorted to declaring that I’m not female etc–pretending you would know better than me what I am–which is of course but more of your pathetic lying.
So much for your “PhD”. Your “Dr” prefix appears to be a running gag.
Commit seppuku already.
brilliant!!!!!
An absolute TRUE statement. In Mumbai attacks, Live TV telecast directly helped terrorists in doing excessive damages to assets and lives than the terrorists originally planed or were capable with, and also, Live TV helped the terrorist to prolong
their attacks effectively. In reality, the Live TV helped the sponsors of this attack to propagate their doctrine lively, free of cost and made their investment a great success.
It was the same with Kargil war too.
Barkha Dutt and her media partners may not admit or accept it, but in reality for their greed of revenue and fame they inadvertently partnered with the terrorists to make their mission a great success. A wise person often looks back their creed and deed to correct their course or to make an apology if irreparable happened, but ironically Barkha Dutt detours it in all manner even her new book is inclusive…..JP.
This article deserves a better title. You’ve written about things much more than burkha, but the title is narrowing its scope.
Read all the reviews on Amazon. The reviews were hilarious. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Oh Barkha! You are so precious.
The recent ‘intolerance ‘ cry by fake liberals in India was all about the inability to comprehend that the masses now have the right to rebut and vehemently disagree, in social media and otherwise , with these fake liberals. The new media is a great leveler. This is what the fake liberals cannot tolerate.
Free speech for these people mean spouting lies and bizarre theories in service of the first family. They are on the payroll of anti-India elements. Shameless louts.
we got to stop calling them liberals . They are not. They are communists who dont have any respect for others rights, except theirs
Thanks for a wonderful piece. Good day!
Well said my friend.
Media folks don’t know what has hit them with advent of social media. They will take time to realize that print and TV is not main source of information anymore, which they blatantly manipulate.
The young generation has completely abandoned all these media pigs and are using social media to get news flows. Feel sad to see traitors like her driving down the value of reporting and make a mockery of good journalists who sacrificed everything for their stories. TOIlet paper and Hindu are glaring examples of how anti India mainstream media is 🙂
I would like to add my 2 cents on amazon for such fiberal, Dynasty shit eating folks.. No spine to talk about llot of nation by mafia family but want to encash their trash by selling to communal people.. She better a taste of her hatred ..
Indian media, mostly, has become a joke in itself. They hide some facts, show some facts, twist some facts just like petty politicians who go to Hindu voters with “dalit”, “yadav” tags etc and go to Muslim voters telling “BJP is anti-muslim, Hindus kill Muslims” etc etc… This divide and rule gives them so much TRP and also, so much money. Money from the politicians or institutions who they do favor to. And these journalist are so highly rated, yet they have become jokers. Stupid fellows. Education is very important need now. At least, leave some, majority will then vote for development of country and not tie themselves with same cast cases when they don’t have enough to feed themselves, let alone help others.
Kudos friend…!!
What a post
Brilliant….
Just one more instance.. about MS Ghose’s hypocrisy.. When Mr Rahul gandhi said that 21 Cr unemployed people are there in Gujarat, the then PM candidate laughingly called him a Namuna (sample piece) as the population of Gujarat is around 6 Cr…
MS Ghose was riled on her icon being so “abused”, she tweeted , wrote and article in HT , that was also published in first post that basically castigated Modi for being abusive and un statesman like !!
Cut to Circa 2015, Another of her blue eyed boy Yugpurushji calls the PM a coward and a psycho and what does MS ghose tweet??
“Strong words from Delhi CM..”
I sometimes wonder will there be no depths these folks will plumb to ??
Suarka Gosht (wife of her equally unworthy husband Suardesai) can’t digest any negative reference to her icon.
After all, her father was the Dynasty Head Slave.
When scum like Burqa Dutt touch something, corruption and distortion ensues. “Free speech” is merely one of many such concepts that have to endure a mangling.
This drum of freedom/rights and tolerance is played by media both ways.
Excellent article!
It is quite funny to see the indignation of the liberals when they are unable to face the truth. How can it be free speech if it is limited to a few people ? I guess the liberals want a limited edition of free speech like limited edition of Rolex watches. What fun !!
Excellent article.
i saw a portion of debate on “unruly “Social Media on Newsx, there was Manish Tiwaree, R Chandrashekhar , amit malviya and Vir Sanghvi apart from a very bored looking moderator in the panel .. it was REAL FUN to watch the frustration and HATE emanating out of Vir Sanghvi against “troll and bhakts” :))
Journalists addicted to one-way shoot,show,scoot journalism are unable to digest the two way flow of news / views
..
Well said brother
