As INDIA Alliance Boycotts 14 TV Anchors, Madhu Trehan on Media, Modi & Markets I Barkha Dutt

[@shankariyer8378]

Between the lines. People are now greatly educated to know what between the lines is, where a journalist comes from. And if that is the pattern, one gets to know where the journos biases are.

[@amitjoarder965]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@shayansk9]

I don't see how anyone in journalism fails to have a crush on Madhu Trehan, even at 77. What a legend. Speaks eloquently and with such authority, and as someone has mentioned below, on credibility and intregrity she is unparalleled.

[@umarbhat7589]

I agree. Rather how anyone fails to have crush on Madhu, even at 77 💘

[@devsen05]

Barkha ji wanted to set the tone in a "particular" way, and then came the shocker from Madhu Trehan ji 😂

[@mshantiswaroop]

Always LOVE the candour and simplicity of Madhu Trehan in her logic and explanation

[@shashiranjan7813]

Wish Barkha learns something from Madhu Trehan whose integrity is in stark contrast to her's.

[@shyamachaitanya446]

When Madhu Trehan talked about Nehru started the process of gagging the Media, Barkha Dutt swiftly tried to deflect her attention away at the 29th Minute. That was a key moment.

[@karthikashok]

Out of the whole interview that’s what you got!

[@sujatagarud3162]

Barkha is a sycophant of Nehru Gandhi clan.

[@Nothingpersonal56]

Lovely seeing an interview with Madhu Trehan after a long time! She certainly hasn’t changed one bit 👏 hopefully we get to see more of her. I have been Living overseas for the past several decades and I clearly recall anxiously waiting every month for the Newstrack videos from my neighborhood video library!

[@bharatsrivastava3964]

Barkha, you took Padma Shree from Govt in 2007-8 and ofcourse it wasn't free, in lieu of it you ran the story in NDTV for hours that Narendra Modi, (the sitting CM of Gujarat at that time and had not FIR filed against him) is going to be arrested. Your contribution to journalism is that u added new journalism infamously called RADIA JOURNALISM. Please desist from taking high moral ground and talking ill for the party you always spewed venom.

[@milan_bir]

Gotta love Madhu, she always makes so much sense.

[@haridasshenoy8334]

I listened to this because of Madhu. Great journalist. And I am glad that she is no more associated with Newslaundry which is now just a laundry. Her statement that Indira was not educated was stunning.

[@rijgurung5638]

Thanks for bringing this awesome person. I was always curious where is this lady! I fondly remember collecting the newstrack VHF cassette from my news vendor....it would make half round of the small hill town after my family watched it! Some enterprising people would even feature screen in VDO parlours to attract more clients for the raunchier shows!! Nice nostalgia!!

[@chandranimanna8029]

Thanks Barkha for bringing in such a fearless & unbiased journalist ; at the same time her evolution - story from a woman to a struggling journalist , her long journey from ' News track ' away till 'Times Of India Magazine '& NewsLaundry' journalism, through your brilliant interview in 'Outside In' podcast. Great for her tips to the current story - writers of the dailes as to how to make a controversial issue to deal with to present in a more credible way, such as - in a more lucid & simplistic communication, remaining far from direct exposition, being economic while dealing a super sensitive issue,; not addressing any political party- involvement , & finally, being unbiased of personal preferences to particular caste, creed or religion while in journalism - spirit & all.

[@abhijitdatta7796]

I just have one qq for Madhu , what sekhri and the current news laundry portal is doing is it journalism? That too unbiased? Are any of those clowns can be called journalists?

[@PattabiM]

Both didn’t shy away from discussing controversial topics but at the same time didn’t sensationalize them. Thank you for making us listen to an insightful conversation

[@shirleysoans]

Completely agree with Madhu on her perpective on the #MeToo movement. Appreciate Madhu's views on challenges she has faced, be it for being a women or otherwise.

[@itsmeshravs]

This looks like unbiased views and balanced views. Loved it .. unfortunately we don’t have journalists like this before . Either you have a Arnaub or an Arfa… intelligent people need intelligent journalists ..

[@Mandeepsi]

U find barka intelligent, remember she is same person who gave live feed of kargil to Pakistan

[@bharatsrivastava3964]

good to see that you do see virtues in Radia Journalism

[@incubusk8r]

Mick Jagger seems to be talking sense. pity we dont have more journalists like her.

[@vijaypoola8733]

😂😂😂

[@rishiraaj.580]

There was never a golden time for Media.

[@ajaypant7406]

Madhu Trehan has re-invented herself.She is also stoic and grand saying that many people don't recognize her at the India Today conclave. Barkha Dutt seems so disappointed when Madhu says "the Govt.has also done good things and talks about village kids with school bags,using clean village toilets.....!!!!!! immediately asks what has the Govt. done wrong! Further Madhu enhances her persona taking back her statement on education and educated leaders.Further she does'nt allow Barkha to fire from her shoulder.

[@Ram78979]

Thank you Barkha for interesting dialogue with Madu. Only request is to have a English subtitle for non-English part. Not all of your viewers understand fully.

[@radhadhar1468]

There are many cases in the non bjp states which are not reported by people like you leftists so what is good journalism? Without being biased report the news irrespective of political ideology because that is supposed to be personal . There is thin line between profession and politics you people have forgotten that so first practise yourself and then hive lecture

[@LALITMOHANJOSHILONDON]

Brilliant interview. Loved it. Am not a fan of yours Barkha but I know there's something in you that makes you a great journalist.

[@biswojitdas]

There was no social media...so people have got an opportunity to judge the journalist..it is a two way street now

[@abracadabra42]

I watched the entire 45min interview with Yakub. Madhu Trehan was almost as aggressive as Arnab would be on his primetime show. Nobody would have called her out if she did the same interview today.

[@msrashmi08]

Thank you, Madhu Trehan for speaking to a younger woman on Me Too !! How I agree with you on many things & how to take life without grudges n moving on ! Yes, wrong infuriates but dust off n move. Sharing with my girls 😊

[@nitinbelvi552]

Wow what a wonderful interview.She is so intelligent than all today’s journalists put togeather.

[@pritesh0117]

I haven't kept up with Madhu's journalism career, but based on this interview, it seems being part of the 'elitist' cabal is a challenging 'choice’, because it undermines your credibility and integrity. I also share Madhu's view that there's a lack of in 'field' journalism nowadays. I also reject the notion that people prefer a 'shouting match' between panelists. Absolutely on point! Lastly, I agree that employing subtlety in writing can be a savvy strategy. Some might see it as cautious, but it's actually about trusting your audience to decode your message while still conveying the point. Her practical approach is refreshing, and I appreciate her frankness too! ❤

[@nitinbelvi552]

Thanks Barkha for bringing such luminaries on your show. Wonderful discussion.

[@vinay2narsipur]

A very balanced view as a journalist. Really admire Madhu who is talking about integrity which is a rarity nowadays. Very candid and transparent views and statements from Madhu. "Me too should not become against all men." Not everybody can say rhis.

[@ronniedeee]

Historical injustices must be...must need to be corrected. Only that way can a civilization survive. What amazes me is that so many people just dont understand that. Or may be...its something else.

[@basantidhar1964]

Barkha your indifferent & dismissive reaction on Sayed Modi's death was heart breaking

[@richishkaushik5868]

she is trying to fit it

[@Bandhu241]

Madhu_Ji is as sharp and articulate as someone half her age at 77. Even today, most renowned Indian journalists cannot compare to her. Ideally, she should keep interviewing important people.

[@ajayagarwal6779]

Good interview, Saw Madhu Trehan for the first time, She comes across as Honest and Intelligent, unlike Barkha who is eloquent but Always comes out as Fake and Dishonest.

[@sujatagarud3162]

Barkha sounds fake and biased most of the time

[@SheldonDsouza126]

With regards to the #MeToo movement, what Madhu is trying to say is the Media running away with tweets made by so-called accusers without proper investigation by the journalists which results in Defamation. That's what I think Madhu was trying to get at.

[@MrSaurav1983]

The beginning of this talk is like "If aunty had moustaches then, she'd be called uncle"

[@abhijitghosh5662]

When a journalist becomes a celebrity he or she ceases to remain a journalist. Madhu barkha are examples

[@karthikashok]

Salute Madhu Trehan my respect for her has gone up many folds not because of anything because I didn’t know her. Thanks for this @BarkhaDutt

[@vedicchant9981]

In India journo interview with criminal / terrorist u r great If blindly lashes on Modi then neutral If baselessly support muslims then secular If boycott others then freedom if boycotted then oppression

[@basantidhar1964]

Oh Barkha you are an anjel,I was dying to hear Madhu I have been her ardent fan Thankyou

[@vinapris75]

Barkha enjoyed all the perks of Government during UPA regime. Now, the current central government does not give her any alms, she has started barking against the central government. To stop Barkha barking, give few her alms regularly and she will be fine.

[@karanveersingh6706]

i just love the respect with which barkha sees her...

[@rishiraaj.580]

2 Elite Class Women. India Vs Bharat. 😕

[@anirudhasengupta8919]

A excellent interview. Please give us more such contents on different topics.

[@shailendradahal1693]

This not an India centric problem , but global one. You have CNN and Fox in USA. Religion never to far from politics since pre medieval era. Catholicism vs Protestantism and patronage from the rulers. This is more pervasive in Christian culture e. g. Europe and USA in subtle way and more open in the Islamic world. The hindutva in India is more defensive reaction special after partition when Muslim run away with muslim majority geography of Pakistan and Bangladesh.

[@cafewaves]

Generational difference between Barkha and Madhu are visible...Madhu comes from a generation where you accept the good and bad about any profession(or gender), Barkha is from Victimhood generation where you lap-up all good and the bad you cry victim. Not judging Barkha, but I like "shutup and get on with it" attitude of Madhu. All the Henry Weinstein victims won oscars and further their careers thru this victimhood..As a man I take this universalisation of men as perpetrators of all exploitation of women personally.

[@samnote2459]

Finally, a journalist who seems brave enough to hold her own and does her research and the hard work to be a fine journalist: Madhu Trehan, you´re missed... maybe you need to run a school of journalism

[@ridhipokharel7723]

Aroon Puri, India Today, is a past shadow of himself in terms his journalism now stands for.He is now on of the chief shycophants of Modi & his govt.

[@sanjay3671]

Thank Madhu trehan for praising the toilet scheme & the improvement in the rural areas. Such praise is anathema to a lutyens closet communist.

[@27amankohli]

Absolutely adore Madhu!!! She is just amazing, and has always been so ahead of her times! loved the chat between both of them !

[@tushartyagi1969]

Jawed Akhtar is a thinker 🤣🤣

[@learnnow5342]

My take away from this symbiosis is... Maduh, " I don't feel bad!" Do what has to be done, do it right and move on to the next thing... awesome. Thanks ladies.

[@pillalam]

Journalists were at some stage aligned....So cute coming from Barkha.

[@basantidhar1964]

It's true she was even known in kasmir where from I come & I never missed her News track .Her credibility & integrity is unparalleled ❤

[@sayedhusain9318]

This is an example of how old grandmas used to think for what it is taking so long for women to be on par. Educated women like her used to and still think like that how can we blame those who did not get the opportunity to be educated. Really sad to see this Barkha jee.

[@madhavkopalle]

Barkha was squirming in her seat and her face was angry when Madhu appreciated Modiji. She was clearly not being a journalist here. She is definitely biased. She isn't neutral like She claims.

[@jayaramireddy310]

Why always sudo secularists talking about gujarath and manipur not about kasmir and bengal

[@vijaypoola8733]

Add Delhi riots

[@pillalam]

Thats secular riots.

[@khoslar1]

Madhu should write on journalism...her memoirs ..these women are pioneers in their fields

[@bkk5153]

There is no ban on Barkha and MoJo Story. Congress-communist-muslim alliance have given certificate to Barkha and MoJo Story as Pidi media. Congratulations Barkha ! Well Done. Enjoy the imported Pidi biscuits.

[@asutosh413]

Barkha is on her own trip by trying to make this pitch of humanity on Manipur . In fact a cause that is backed by her , gains disrepute and looses support because she is biased in picking up her issues , which are always about leaders in BJP or against BJP ruled states . With her deafening silence on the post poll violence in Bengal , where women were subjected to all sorts of abuse and her biased coverage of Covid handling only in UP , her professing for an issue taints that issue and it looses credence . She will serve a cause better by working first on her unconscious biases.

[@atalkumar4593]

She has praised gov just to please right wing viewership.. it became common now a days for leftists to praise gov to please viewership..

[@cafewaves]

As a founder of Newslaundry, please advise the present NL team to be more neutral, present team is too cynical for a youthful India..be a little bit cheerful and positive about India. I am an educated person who has travelled around the world, NL almost comes across as everything is S..T about India..then it begs me a question...WTF are you guys doing here in India?...I know it is like a "Go to Pakistan" comment..but if my children constantly complain that everything is wrong about our family, then as a parent I would snap and make that comment.

[@monojdas-gupta5918]

One of the great things going for Madhu is she is her own boss, never have to work for others.That freedom is liberating in her role as journalist.

[@ridhipokharel7723]

Madhu did not hesitate to state her age .77.Refreshing to say the least.

[@ajitjadhav6948]

Finally, after a long time, something of quality coming from Barkha. More thanks to Madhu I suppose. She (Madhu) was something else.

[@lynnehenry]

Madhu Trehan should go to gender sensitization and awareness courses. And no 'woman' is random Trehan. Also, your politics is very clear. Lets stop gaslighting all globally!

[@siddharthanvarier3342]

Politicians often offer their own judgements ,without knowing the core truth of issues.While Madhu Trehan's interview of Yakub Memen could be interpreted as Sensational, the reality could lie elsewhere- in hearing the other side of the story.

[@samnote2459]

its a lovely conversation. But Barkha start, at some point in time, trying to listen to your interviewee..... rather than arguing with her/them. A true interview is about the guest.

[@artis4985]

Madhu Trehan is the sister of Arun Purie owner of India Today group.. Madhu Trehan owns Newslaundary which has leftist and pro Congress stand..

[@naamnei]

Superb, Ms Trehan 🙌🏾

[@cedricdias8764]

Madhu, being privileged, has no empathy for other women who may be abused. Life at lower levels is very different, Madhu.

[@bee-beeruna1843]

I agree.. Also, whenever Barkha opens her mouth..we begin to wonder what exactly is her agenda... simply because she has proved time & again, that she's not to be trusted.

[@parveenbhardwaj2252]

There are soo many instances of agreeing to disagree in such elegant manner.. very nice 👍

[@drjagritisingh6569]

Whatever congress was doing ,bjp took it to extremism from crowny capitalism ,religion based politics to harassing journalists. Madhu trehan should definitely visit villages in uttar pradesh to see rhe reality of open defecation and government schools in rural and urban settings.

[@rishiraaj.580]

Pro__ Vs Anti __ Fight These Days. No One Is Neutral. 😕

[@sujatagarud3162]

Barkha definitely knows how to provoke people. She is totally poker…asking difficult questions and getting replies the way she wants .

[@user-mr8qs6bo6h]

It was a pleasant interview Barkha, thanks

[@inayat5959]

Great seeing Madhu after a long time. Wishing her great health ❤

[@andy0611smvdu]

[@Pennywise.18]

[@alokdaga4845]

Barkha is a relic of the past. Neither watched nor respected. Gone are the days when she had a hand in Cabinet selection. Feel sorry for her

[@miku1408]

Fir yaha kar kya rahe ho bhai 😅

[@varunsharma7069]

How she keeps a straight face when she talks about journalists favouring or getting favoursm has she forgotten radia tapes.

[@richishkaushik5868]

All I see is two journalists basically conceding in a subtle way what right wing has been saying all this while! When you are in the centre of a storm you don't talk how bad the drought is, you only say f@#% rains!! Barkha is trying the balancing-act out of some pressure even though it might not be external. I don't disregard their opinions that much but it is the points of agenda in the entire discussion which Barkha deliberately chose to while carefully omitting key contextual/contemporary topics(politics) which cry out loud to be discussed - the obvious things like Institutional capture(CEC appointment), Judiciary conduct(threat to the constitution), Pogroms to list the very least. This Trehan character belongs to the elite machiavellian class which the bhakts always talk about, although that is another thing that the guy they support is creating a whole new class of such people which definitely are worse than their predecessors(eg, Smita ANI). POOR BHAKTS I must say!

[@chandranimanna8029]

Pardon me for spelling wrong of 'Inside Out ' podcast.

[@plungeintotheabyss]

Thanks, Barkha for bringing Madhu Trehan.

[@vijayalakshmi1948]

Madhuji you are the one. The truly intelligent one. Honestly. Super articulation to match.

[@abhishekpandey6419]

Barkha being Barkha didn't realise she is 78 and now Madhu is prone to speak the truth... Barkha was jaw dropped when she counted the toilet angle

[@pittsburghpatrika1534]

Newspapers never ran on paid subscriptions and newsstand sales alone. These don’t even met 50% of their expenses. From very early days, they ALWAYS depended on ads. This the governments used very well. Newspaper publishing is a BUSINESS, after all. If they don’t meet the business, they need to close unless U have Bezos to bankroll from their personal wealth. Even this they can not do year after year after year. This revenue model extended to network TV, cable TVs and nis KZbinrs. Very often, reporters, once they become “stars,” start thinking that they are larger than their producers, their editors, and even 10:19 their publishers in their companies. And then, they start behaving like they are larger than the politicians they cover. Very soon they are shown their place. This has happened is happening and will happen in the future All Over the Globe. In India reporters and anchors fall into this trap simply because they are on camera every day and become familiar faces wherever they live. This goes into their head before they are shown the door , or they fall on their own.

[@abhijitguha494]

I didn’t like Madhu Trehan’s interview with Yaqub Memon at all. The reason is she constantly interrupted the interviewee as he attempted to answer her questions. He was not allowed to finish his sentences at all. What is the purpose of interviewing a person if you do not want to listen to his answers.

[@Priya05351]

New laundry is my favorite channel and Madhu’s interview

[@basantidhar1964]

Madhu that makes you one of a kind 🎉❤

[@gitasingh1437]

Contrast the calibre of Madhu Trehans and the old Door Darshan news anchors Rinni Simon , Robin Jind , Tejeshwar Singh , Komal GB Singh and so many more to what we have today ie Suddu Tihari , Arnab Goswami , Chvanke ,Navika Kumar etc . Love Madhu Trehan's directness . The banniya take over of anything usually ends in deception lies and eventually destruction before mooving on the next target . Profit at all costs.

[@vishwaskrishna]

To the producers, please use a recorder with limiter or use 32 bit recording. The sound is peaking and it is difficult to listen to.

[@prahladdsharma3672]

Barkha pls do debate on following Article 25 says freedom of conscience ,freedom to practice religion,freedom to profess religion is guuarnteed but restriction of subject to public order and Morality. Of course what is morality and what is conscience is not defined Now hadeesh of islam is that who ever leaves islam is to be killed,murtad ki saza maut as per haddesh in inslam So now my question is islamic scripture against freedom of conscience of article 25 as it's not moral to kill someone if he just leaves islam as per thier books Hence islam should not be allowed to be propogated or allowed to be propogated. I do not know the answer as of now but need to do research on it.

[@shobhateji]

Indira Gandhi was University educated. Madhu is confused between education and wisdom.

[@experiences999]

This is a very genuine advice. Please either change your mics or tweak the settings of the current ones. The sound is too loud and unclear. I couldn't understand a lot of points. I tried my phone speakers and earphonea as well. Please take some hints from any other good podcast channels.. Normally, I've seen Shure and Rode mics...

[@gahlowtvks8012]

Madhu should continue with journalism ....

[@anjalisinhajns]

I beg to differ Ma'am..its not that every thing is being done now...A great building is built on a strong foundation...Nehru started from scratch ...how can we ever compare what he did to what Modi is doing

[@IndiaHereNow]

About what Barkha Dutt said about metoo. There is something called due processz that just can't be skipped.

[@haridasshenoy8334]

Barkha, there are men who are at the receiving end in marriage who don't walk out because of various reasons. I know many cases.

[@PrabeerGhosh]

Why is the audio quality so poor? Why don’t you ask your producers to fix it please?

[@agnosticatheist4093]

I am a big fan of yours Madhu Ji ❤
