Did the media create the NaMo wave? RedInk Awards and Panel Discussion

It was one of those rare occasions when on-screen rivals Rajdeep Sardesai and Arnab Goswami shared the dais to decode if the media helped to create a wave in favour of Narendra Modi during the just concluded Lok Sabha elections.
Joining Sardesai and Goswami in the panel discussion during the Mumbai Press Club's Red Ink Awards were veteran journalist Kumar Ketkar and ad man Piyush Pandey. Playing the devil's advocate was journalist-turned- Star India CEO Uday Shankar.

Arnab have potential to become Narendra Modi of journalism....right now i can not say he will beat him...but the time will surely tell.

[@MDVaashir]

Modi wave was in Mobile, internet, words of mouth not only television.

[@sonuEEE]

how did rajdeep get a seat there,,,

[@amiteshkumar3280]

In the presence of Arnab how can Uncle Rajdeep Sardesai speak so much??

[@Leo08912]

Newstraders like ketkar have forgotten how Modi was haunted for 12 nonstop. Inspite of all the odds Modi came out in flying colors because he is a peoples man, he is a rare breed of hardworking politician among so many corrupt men who r ready to sell the country for a very low price. Rajdeeps ego is too big that he feels bad because he sat on the floor, millions of Indian do that everyday man, grow up.

[@ekthaKC]

what rajdeep did to modi after the riots was the real supari journalism!

[@siddhantdal]

How?

[@amiteshkumar3280]

Rajdeep Arnab together!! What the hell??

[@kashinathvaishampayan4463]

Thanks Uday for a Wonderful discussion! Arnab and Rajdeep seem to make at least reconciliatory sounds although taking high moral ground. But Kumar Ketkar seems to be happily ensconced in his wooly ideas. God bless him lest he be marginalised completely. All said and done, it is utterly unwise to dissect marketing strategy of a winner and to use it to blame the winner for being smarter than the loser. Fact is: the English speaking pashas of Main Stream Media were outsmarted by Modi beyond their wildest belief and they are not yet ready to accept their defeat gracefully. Same is the case with so called left leaning Intellectuals of India. God bless them all. KRV

[@ind-us6935]

Very well said, Kashinath ....the media - one and all - lacks courage - although they are full of self-praise!!!

[@ekthaKC]

timesnow was the only channel which broke that modi would be PM candidate and that JDU is gonna split!

[@ekthaKC]

leadership is a big point. Kudos to arnab for saying that!

[@godarar]

The friends of media do not know that when you try to defeat Satya (Sachai), it becomes a wave, which you can not stop. Modiji works works and works for country and you all together can not defeat him. Input brings output, Modi has inputs and you can not stop output. Modi is great organizer and delivers tons. In 10 days of assuming office you start asking about what he has done. Ask Congress first for last 60 years.

[@sukuvar]

One of the terrible Media Journalist India had never seen, A supari Journalist, A boxer, Street fighter, None other than Rajdeep Sardesai and Sagarika Ghosh.

[@suhasshivalkar00606]

Arnab is the best

[@harishinamdar81]

Piyush Pandey rocked with just 2 sentences.

[@manishshokeen2298]

Kumar Ketkar has guts to speak the truth based on facts...

[@ashay33]

arnab goswami is the best lol......

[@Leo08912]

After watching the full show, I'm pleasantly surprised with Rajdeep. His wife sagarika is going to kick him hard for being honest for once. This old guy ketkar still thinks we r living under British rule and can't get out of his ghulami mentality, is a prime example of why Indian journalists and Indian media is becoming a joke.

[@vermaaaditya]

could the speeches also be uploaded please...

[@MukeshKumarprotagonist]

Rajdeep Sardesai makes so much sense off air. He raises all the right questions and shortcomings of the media. Sadly though, he himself was also a part of the whole farce that mainstream media of India has become today and it is quite easy to raise the right questions when you are out of the circus.

[@riteshmallik4939]

Rajdeep was under d influence of the congress and he did make huge money by having intimate relationship with d inc..Now its d bjp turn..They have d backing of the big corporates and thus most of d electronic news channels are dancing on their directives..News channels get huge funding from these political parties and sadly these guys didnt discuss it

[@TarunKumarDelhi]

@Kumar...well said ....!! 18.01sec

[@rajshekharnayak]

rajdeep talking sense

[@SreejeshSuresh]

Sadly he resigned from network 18. He said in a statement, he stand by journalistic freedom

[@sukuvar]

Not resigned...He got sacked...

[@pamminitin]

Anchor seems to be ignorant that media has not penetrated into Jharkhand, Bihar and UP... who said that?? These parts are very well connected to media. Yes, I agree that English media reach was least in these states but at that same time media does not mean only English media.

[@AtomStudiosIndia]

Wat a point from Piyush... wow

[@Leo08912]

Congress' cheerleader Rajdeep talking about supari journalism, how funny. But at least he spoke the truth about Rahul.

[@vipulbhatt2003]

Which intv is Rajdeep talking abt.. ? That was the most stupid interview conducted by him in 2012. Agreed he was made to sit on the footboard of a bus, but his questions deserved to be dumped in the gutter.

[@vivekarunachalam22]

excellent Mr Rajdeep Sardesai , Today u have one more fan and that is me

[@souvikmb]

you are a supari journalist Rajdeep

[@kahanighar878]

great debate

[@meenadasnarayan9242]

NArendra Modi meant and means TRP - u and each and every channel knows that

[@aswininayak12]

some of the Dalla reporters and editors created this wave

[@iamwatching742]

Rajdeep, what a great thought. I appreciate as I was talking with my friends the same.

[@raju21kv]

End of the day it is true that media did help Modi will this elections..he might have won without media but not certainly by the margin he did...and ofcourse MEDIA is PAID handsomely

[@hannajoshua3163]

Raajdeep sir u restore our faith in journalism

[@ekthaKC]

yes, by towing congress line..the stand that he took here was obvious.

[@spiked1567]

LOL Time to wake up now dear.

[@SAFFRONINFERNO]

Lolz biggest Supari Journalist is Rajdeep Sardesai himself, He is a Bldy News Trader AKA PRESStitute.

[@KINGMJ1990]

Rajdeep is directly targeting Arnab....he is right!

[@montyjaspreet1]

Rajdeep nailed it and arnab knows it what he and most of the media did to arvind kejriwal in this election.

[@anshool21]

As much as the right wing and bhakts dislike Rajdeep, he makes some interesting points...Point being about Mayawati drawing a blank...:-)

[@hannajoshua3163]

Why journos are speaking out after modi win?

[@SadguruPrernaTrust]

MODI was not under scrutiny ? Rajdeep, you went on negative campaign against Modi for 12 years....Dont talk rubbish. Now you belong to loosers.....

[@jamrelocated]

thank God there was only one mic.... Arnab n Rajdeep were itchin to go at ketkar. ...

[@godarar]

Why not Rajdeep does that research, Modi asks you people to research and do not believe him and his words, but you have yourself devisive agenda and go on asking same silly questions, eg. like Mr. Modi you have built a canal, how many muslims are benefited, so more Hindus you mean you work only for one community.

[@BlackMambo5]

Despite what people(me included) may think about *self-appointed Supreme Justice Arn00b Dogswami*, we have to give it to him that he's *a bit less of a sellout* as compared to outright political stooges like *Kumar Shitkar* and *Rajdeep Douchedesai*. Does Kumar Ketkar realize that vote share percentage doesn't matter and is just an obsolete statistic as far as First Past The Post electoral system is concerned? NOTA in Gujarat had more vote share percentage than AAP, but in Delhi AAP had second best vote share percentage, I'm wondering how he'll ever be able to explain that. Absolute fucking dimwit. I mean seriously, if people like kumar Ketkar can be referred as "veteran journalists", then God save our country.

[@SunG1809]

Kumar ketkar crossed his use by date, looked so idiot. If this is how experienced journalist looks like, then its a very sorry state? you should criticize like other two anchor did but Kumar has no sense of balance or objectivity. Just blind critic of particular party or Modi. Shame.

[@gargvinaykumar]

kishiyani billi khamba noche,ab jeet ke aagaya jisko 10 saal lagatar gali de rahe the to MANTHAN ka time aa gaya ? What went wrong,heheheheheheheh

[@adityanaik8055]

Kumar Ketkar is talking about Media partiality..lolzzzz..I think 10 karod chuhe khake billi haj ko chali

[@harishinamdar81]

1.76 lakh crores. Rajdeep. you don't need nerves to question CAG. But you need nerves of very high caliber to question UPA/Cong/Sonia.

[@Lalith921]

Mr. Rajdeep is true in every Sense, Hope True journalism takes new pace rather voting and being a single sided campaigner for a particular party.

[@RohanMozumdar]

@28:55: Arnab gets a taste of his own medicine :P

[@marktwain9995]

what a waste of time ... there is no substance to this debate

[@amiteshkumar3280]

Arnab and Rajdeep are the rock star of Indian Journalism!!

[@pkzz2310]

Damn rajdeep speaks the truth !!

[@nithinthomas1472]

Mr. Rajdeep.... A salute to you. #RESPECT

[@jeetnjoy]

arre raj deep bahai bowling bhi thu hi,batting bhi thu hi,ball mera bat mera,my dho baar not out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ha ha ha ha ha h

[@ind-us6935]

Rajdeep was the most credible but even though he and Sagarika are guilty of what he was complaining about. They both acted like paid media or showing a deep interest of being on the 'good' side of the Gandhi family.

[@SadguruPrernaTrust]

Thou shall not say anything negative on GANDI family.. Thou shall not see anyything positive on MODI and GUJARAT.....This is a way of life for Mr & Mrs Rajdeep Sardesai and Ketkar......

[@AshutoshKumar-vq5kz]

Raajdeep rocked

[@vermaaaditya]

:)

[@ganeshrammurthi4002]

Rajdeep the way you went hammer and thongs after Modi post Gujarat Riots breaking all the ethics and sensitivities, you deserve to be ignored and you have lost the respect of most of the people in India. Leaders are Leaders that is why people Love Arnab Goswami, who is, a cut above the rest. Even now do you feel that there was a Zero Loss in the Scam, you should be ashamed making the statement, even in this discussion. DO NOT THINK YOU ARE AN ALMIGHTY.

[@abhijeet911ishere]

rajdeep is very honest and good anchor unlike arnab who asks stupid question and than dont even let other to answer the questions.

[@hannajoshua3163]

Arnab has ADHD

[@KINGMJ1990]

Arnab is the biggest Supari journalist...Infact entire Times group...
