The great fall of the once mighty newspaper…

newspaper-412452_640After Independence…
Indian father—Son, believe 100% of the things you read in the newspapers.

After TV news proliferated…
Indian father—Son, believe only 50% of the things you read in the newspapers.

After the advent of the Internet…
Indian father—Son, believe only 10% of the things you read in the newspapers.

After Twitter and other social media…
Indian father—Son, you can believe absolutely nothing that you read in the newspapers or watch on TV news channels.

Tomorrow…
Indian father—Son, can you believe that once upon a time there were newspapers, magazines and TV channels where you couldn’t choose what to read/watch and they forced their sinister agendas down your gullible throat?

The flip side…
Many people have already started believing 100% of their Twitter/WhatsApp/Facebook feeds!

6 reasons why Arnab’s screaming can be extremely useful…

remote-control-isolated-2116231_6401. When an unwanted guest comes, put News Hour at full blast. With Arnab’s booming voice the guest will go running for cover and never return.

2. If you are disturbed by a neighbour’s loud music at a party, then put Arnab at high volume. He will come running to beg you to put the volume down and you can get him to do the same.

3. Make a recording of Arnab’s rants as your morning alarm. That will get you wide awake and you won’t be able to go back to sleep for the entire day.

4. Same thing with a burglar alarm. The thief will go running scared and never think of returning once he hears it.

5. Investigating agencies can use it as a form of torture to get confessions. Imagine being tied in a room with back to back News Hours at full blast playing throughout the day.

6. Use Arnab’s recordings to permanently chase away howling stray dogs that disturb your sleep at night.

The amazing Indian Left and their bare-faced hypocrisy…

hammer-and-sickle-1183328_640Only in India…

…can the worshippers and followers of brutal tyrants and dictators like Mao Zedong (whose policies may have killed up to 70 million people) and Josef Stalin (whose policies may have killed and imprisoned tens of millions of people) and total supporters of dictatorial Emergency/Dynasty Congress regimes absolutely froth at the mouth and fume 24X7 when any other Right-leaning democratically government comes to power attacking it for being Fascist, dictatorial and intolerant.

…can thousands of Left-leaning committee/institute/board heads scream murder/Fascism/intolerance when just one such post is given to a Right-wing leaner and get the support of the entire media and civil society to boot!

…can all school textbooks be filled with Communist-leaning drivel and when anything even remotely minor and different is written to the contrary, it’s attacked virulently as “Saffronization”.

…can a Left-wing TV anchor working for a Left-wing media house unofficially reporting to a Left-wing politician pack a panel with Left-wing commentators and introduce the sole ideological opposite panellist as a “Right-wing commentator” with the entire above-mentioned lot shamelessly passed off as neutral.

…can so many people espouse an austere ideology to sickening levels and still wear designer clothes, revel in international travel and spend half of their working life in five star hotels.
