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

[@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 💘

[@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]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@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!

[@devsen05]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@atlantisjs]

Thanks

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@milan_bir]

Gotta love Madhu, she always makes so much sense.

[@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! ❤

[@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.

[@rishiraaj.580]

There was never a golden time for Media.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@abhijitghosh5662]

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

[@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.

[@nitinbelvi552]

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

[@MrSaurav1983]

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

[@shobhateji]

Who is being targeted in this interview is abundantly clear. Are these two not being allowed to go on merrily. Open and blatant abuses are hurled and are getting away these days.

[@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..

[@Blowgger]

Really Madhu! You mention your brother told you dont go for 'PR job' of Rajiv Gandhi because he wanted you to do good journalism! We are interested to know suggestions your brother is giving now, after he faces lectures by his students on secularism, pluralism and keeping spine straight in front of powerful. We see some coincidence between your leaving newslaundry and your brother becoming king of godi media! Newlaundry also able to criticise, expose India Today unfettered since then. Time is very powerful..you see!

[@bwarikoo]

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

[@karanveersingh6706]

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

[@plungeintotheabyss]

Thanks, Barkha for bringing Madhu Trehan.

[@naamnei]

Superb, Ms Trehan 🙌🏾

[@biswojitdas]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Thakurgirija]

It was a pleasant interview Barkha, thanks

[@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.

[@pillalam]

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

[@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.

[@ajitjadhav6948]

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

[@rajeshdhar3169]

Madhu Trehan, sister of Arun Purie, who is Charan Chumbak. She has lost all credibility along with her brother

[@rajashreedeodhar4295]

Thanks Barkha for this Interview!

[@bwarikoo]

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

[@richishkaushik5868]

she is trying to fit it

[@sujatagarud3162]

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

[@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

[@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

[@bwarikoo]

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

[@inayat5959]

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

[@kapilpatel2897]

Answered❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@bwarikoo]

Madhu that makes you one of a kind 🎉❤

[@Pennywise.18]

Loving the Meltdown

[@sulagnasivprava69]

Amazing 🎉🎉

[@eh_lost_in_translation]

Thank you for the video. I thought trehan was no more. Thank you madhu to be so oblique and so to barkha

[@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.

[@parveenbhardwaj2252]

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

[@ridhipokharel7723]

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

[@agnosticatheist4093]

I am a big fan of yours Madhu Ji ❤

[@gahlowtvks8012]

Madhu should continue with journalism ....

[@pramodpushkarna3672]

Great to see Madhu Trehan

[@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

[@aminak40]

Lovely candid discussion….

[@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.

[@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!

[@snehaketkar8571]

Good interview...... 👍🏾

[@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..

[@aidan5768]

I'm just curious! Why does she speak broken Hindi, isn't she from Delhi?

[@shobhateji]

Madhu is right about the audience. They can see through the journalists inner agenda.

[@atlantisjs]

Great conversation.

[@incubusk8r]

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

[@vijaypoola8733]

😂😂😂

[@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.

[@rishiraaj.580]

2 Elite Class Women. India Vs Bharat. 😕

[@dratiurrahmankhan8974]

Nice to see both of u

[@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...

[@ragwindersingh1354]

Excellent 👏

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@Priya05351]

New laundry is my favorite channel and Madhu’s interview

[@nitinbelvi552]

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

[@kuldeepnarayan5113]

A great journalist ❤

[@rishiraaj.580]

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

[@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.

[@PrabeerGhosh]

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

[@27amankohli]

Great to see Madhu Trehan sister of my Boss Arun Puri who used to be my boss in 80’s.

[@annadaparida148]

What is Madhu saying on Journalism is because the government has become partisan

[@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.

[@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.

[@god__particle__]

Please continue with these brilliant interviews with yesteryear stalwarts. So interesting... its like why did it end?!!
