Journalism by Barkha Dutt of NDTV
We always blame the police for not doing their jobs. How can they do
their jobs when we have our journalists feed vital information to the
terrorists.
On the Times News channel when there was a panel of speakers called
online, there was an Israeli person by the name of Dr. Kedar on the
panel. Even Dr. Kedar had specified that the constant airing of live
news with all the information was working in favor of the terrorists
and the their counter parts controlling this operation from some other
part of the world.

Appalling journalism. Absolute blasphemy! As I watch the news from
home, I am dumbfounded to see Barkha Dutt of NDTV break every rule of
ethical journalism in reporting the Mumbai mayhem. Take a couple of
instances for example:
In one instance she asks a husband about his wife being stuck, or held
as a hostage. The poor guy adds in the end about where she was last
hiding. Aired! My dear friends with AK-47s, our national news is
helping you. Go get those still in. And be sure to thank NDTV for not
censoring this bit of information.
In another instance, a General sort of suggests that there were no
hostages in Oberoi Trident. (Clever.) Then, our herione of revelations
calls the head of Oberoi, and the idiot confirms a possibility of 100
or more people still in the building. Hello! Guys with guns, you've
got more goats to slay. But before you do, you've got to love NDTV and
more precisely Ms. Dutt. She's your official intelligence from Ground
zero.
You do not need to be a journalist to understand the basic premise of
ethics, which starts with protecting victims first; and that is done
by avoiding key information from being aired publicly—such as but not
limited to revealing the number of possible people still in, the
hideouts of hostages and people stuck in buildings.
Imagine you're one of those sorry souls holed-up in one of those
bathrooms, or kitchens. A journalist pulls your kin outside and asks
about your last contact on national television, and other prying
details. In a bout of emotion, if they happen to reveal more details,
you are sure going to hell. Remember these are hotels, where in all
likelihood, every room has a television. All a terrorist needs to do
is listen to Ms. Barkha Dutt's latest achievement of extracting
information from your relative, based on your last phone-call or SMS.
And you're shafted—courtesy NDTV.1
If the terrorists don't manage to shove you in to your private hell,
the journalists on national television will certainly help you get
there.
One of the criticismsabout Barkha Dutt on Wikipedia reads thus:
During the Kargil conflict, Indian Army sources repeatedly complained
to her channel that she was giving away locations in her broadcasts,
thus causing Indian casualties.
Looks like the idiot journalist has not learnt anything since then. I
join a number of bloggers pleading her to shut the f*** up.
Update: In fact, I am willing to believe that Hemant Karkare died
because these channels showed him prepare (wear helmet, wear
bullet-proof vest.) in excruciating detail live on television. And
they in turn targeted him where he was unprotected. The brave officer
succumbed to bullets in the neck.
