43:29 This is true and everybody in the media knows this. I was working for a telugu private channel who hired NDTV as "consultants" and those guys hardly helped us with anything. I brought this up with the higher ups that it's a waste of money for that so called consultant who doesnt even answer our phones. He told me that the real reason for hiring NDTV is to be in the good books of the dispensation of the day as they can broker to get "things done" with their connections and told me to ignore those consultants. Then I moved to another channel after a while and it was the same story there. Every regional channel was wooing them for their influence.

Wow how she exposed RNDTV👀

[@SamvedIyer]

In some sense, it was not an 'expose'; anyone with the least discernment already knew this. I suppose many among the younger generations watch the cacophonies of Republic TV and Times Now, and contrast it with NDTV's equanimity, and infer that the latter does journalism whereas the former two only erect a circus. It is not quite true. Certainly, a calmer tone is an important factor, but it is not the sole factor.

[@adarshverma2014]

It was not expose. They were always an elite journalist institution. Their most reporters were children of IAS/IFS officers. But they were not crawling on ground like Arnab or some other. They had journalist ethics even if it meant being close to govt. Smita is wrong here comparing the two times. The quality of journalism has degraded substantially.

It's interesting how people are eager to label you nowadays so that anything you say no matter if it's good or bad can be dismissed by those who don't agree with it.

[@uncannyroaches5933]

Yeah those things are right. I would like to digress and have a discussion on the words liberal and secular. Before I start, I have no interest in politics. I don't support right or left or center. I just don't care. People have forgotten the meaning. I mean we can't blame them, they all 10th fail prolly. Secular means to have all religions on an equal pedestal and that was agreed upon in the constitution and is one of the words in the preamble(first page). But unfortunately this word has become a way to target people and shame them for being rational and logical. I've seen people commenting ki agar tum secular ho toh when muslim people ask for your mother give them that. I mean they commit so many logical fallacies

As her point even when NDTV had access to the government, they were still asking questions from them. They didn't hire a script writer to ask questions like "aap aam kaise khaatey ho" ya "aap thaktey kyun nahin". The term "Godi Media" exists because the kind of work they are doing which is only promoting how great central govt is and not asking real questions for regular people. It's not because a reporter like Ravish wants to put them down. I've worked with a media agency for 2 years and I know how things changed when JNU protests were happening or Ram Mandir verdict came out. Currently Indian media is like a dog with a leash to the central government. There's a reason why press freedom ranking of our country is 150 which is really sad for the largest democracy of the world.

​@@sanjeevverma4533 I never blamed Akshay Kumar, it was not his personal question. The producers give questions to ask in such interviews. But the real question should be why an actor was picked to take interview of our PM. Where were all the journalists? The only last unscripted interview which our PM gave was to Karan Thapar, in which he walked out and since he's not been part of even one press conference. You can go and watch 2019 BJP press conference where he passed all the questions to Amit Shah and didn't even answer one. Another incident when PM was addressing villagers through a video call, one person stood and started asking about increase in price of petrol and other materials. Look at the way he was asked to sit down. If you think that it is alright for our leader to dodge questions like this or only sit in orchestrated interviews then what's the point of even having journalists. And if you think there's nothing wrong and no questions are worth asking then I've nothing to say. Have a nice day.

Ndtvs has always been Pro congress and has been getting access from so many years. I mean, if it doesn't suit you, it doesn't mean other people are wrong. Modis government might have done many things wrong, but no one can deny they have done so many things right as well. Media has always been either leftist or rightist but there is a way to criticize govt. People have voted this govt. twice that means these people are wrong and NDTV is the only grp where people think righteous ?

[@MB-vm5ze]

People criticising Seema ji for her seemingly rightist approach must remember that everyone has their biases. But the true journalist will try to find the balance by not being blatant without the necessary facts. The true journalist will paint the picture whilst trying to be wholesome, rather than just putting up cropped up images. I think the thing with NDTV was as she said, they always had the access no matter what. But post-jio era has substantially diminished the value of media's influence, as the value of ' access ' factor got substantially deminished. People no more rely on the media houses to form opinions. This has been seemed as a threat in many of the top tier journalists of the past and their agony of loosing the status and the stature is highly visible !

44:53...You are right mam, but how come then the entire central government cabinet including the PM and HM attended one news anchor's (Navika ji) son's wedding... isn't that friendly? What great thing has that person done that the top leaders will attend his wedding? Just because he's the son of a prime time news anchor?

[@adeshsaxena6874]

Great dialog. Free and frank. I have watched many SP podcasts recently. I knew nothing about her past until i just checked. Her hubby is the CEO of ANI that was founded by SP,s dad-in-law. I would hope that the podcast host would have stated this "context" upfront. What ever become of " Truth in journalism/reporting "? Oh this rule of thumb may not apply to podcasts. My comment should not be taken negatively. The 2 hosts are commendable

Kuch bhi bol rahin hain. She said Media and politicians should not be friends, and that the BJP doesn't like the media. FOr anyone reading this, Please check the footage and guest list of Navika's Son's wedding, All top BJP members were there with Modiji and the wedding took place next to the PM's house. Now tell me this isn;t major access. Smita Prakash, Another member of the Godi media, it's just she's a good orator. Smita Maam kuch toh soch ke bolte.

[@vikassingh650]

one of the best podcast brother, so much to learn from her.

[@mohitmahajan711]

According to her criticising government all the time makes a journalist bitter, calling others as godi media is not appropriate then what will she call those journalist who always praise modi, over sweeteners??? Those who label the others (who have different opinions) as anti nationals, opposition's propaganda and what not. Is it not biasness. Ravish criticised congress during there government and he hasn't changed his style of journalist but why those journalist who used to be neutral has started favouring bjp? These Tv channels have started criticising public supreme court and all those international organisations which ask question to modi government and mark my words that day isn't far away when they will be criticising armed forces as well. If you are true then why you run away from questions? Modi has never had any press conference. Why? ... They are doing extremely well in terms of development but when it comes to handling criticism they are zero. When it comes to doing good politics they are zero. They only know one type of politics that is politics of religion (same as divide and rule). They only know one way to stop criticism that is ED CBI raids

Reality all private media houses have a safe zone where they skip to discuss....... Weather it's BJP and godi Or ndtv and congress........ But the journalist at ndtv did used to ask question the congress just take the example of ravish.... There are many instances where he call manmohan sing by name...... Now the situation is different in godi media those journalists who question the govt are being fired........either u lick BJP shoe or destroy your career............ Just take the example of satyapal malik revelations arnab have not not even a single show... While any thing comes out about opposition even they jump on it

1:24:43 the guy is a bit of a pain trying to sound hip, but he ain't so. Irony of mispronouncing salmon is fun to note. Many such stumbles. I wouldn't have cared to note it, if he weren't trying to portray himself as something else all through. First time watched this host or podcast, he tries to show more than what he is. Smita is always her real, genuine self. She's hip and cool without even trying.

She can just imagine the love respect and credibility Ravish Kumar earned. She is a fake news spreader through ANI. Shame on you Smita Prakash, Hand in glove with current govt to curtail democracy in India.

[@bansikaka]

1.How convenient for smitaji to say that it was people who labelled 'godi media' as so were the ones who 'spoilt' the atmosphere. Smita ji is a decent journo but she can't deny that Zee-news, ABP and Arnab were saying the most horrible polarising things. The only consolation she has is 'pehle bhi toh tha' but that's not the point of having morals. 2.Plus, on the question on Ravish, I have never seen him do access journalism, he was actually quite an outlier at NDTV also. He was always doing on-ground journo. He actually never got access the way Srinivas, nidhi and others did. Don't dismiss his honest journalism with godi journalism. 3. On the question of balance, if there is zero balance in the atmosphere then some people need to take up the mantle of atleast trying to level the other side.

Inflation less than others, if you don't see that donate your eyes, unemployment has increased - yes to some extent because privatization happen real quick and meritocracy applies there no reseravations , and if exposing the truth creates communal divide then the communal divide will be welcomed with open arms, America too faced communal divide on slavery issue and faced a civil war which was benificial for them in the long run
