Socially Generated Content - Paid Media

Oh. Today is Journalism day. Never knew despite being one. Always knew they had all the 365 days with them.
Paid media is a common norm among people who have no knowledge about the media. Who pays them who is being paid are all transparent to everyone but selective amnesia is a serious issue. Not a single expose has been carried out by party mouth pieces. Mainstream news streams are blamed by parties being hand in glove with other parties. Here is a useless conversation from Facebook :

Shivkumar Ganesan All this paid media should bury themselves. Violating the journalism code of conduct.

Binu Alex You mean the clear notion of Pioneer, Saamna, TV18, Niticentral. Yes I agree for the first time. And also to the perceived notion of some other media houses as well.

Shivkumar Ganesan Thank you Binu for agreeing with me for the first time I guess.

Binu Alex But it comes with a disclaimer: You should not read or share or believe in anything that the so called paid media gives to you. If media is paid, why are you reading those paid articles.

Shivkumar Ganesan I agree. But you tell me which newspapers which should I read. Media houses take one side of another. Readers like me have left with no option.

Binu Alex No. Wrong. All these months I have been trying to explain you this but you were awed by a single personality. To be objective, first thing is to remove this party politics and see the merit. And look at the merit on the basis of performance not percept...See More

Shivkumar Ganesan Please dont put the onus on me. Do you think is it possible for a common reader like me ?    6 January at 17:24 · Like
    
Binu Alex Onus is on you because you can understand and has exposure. For people with no such qualities, it is impossible, I agree

Shivkumar Ganesan Though Pioneer might have right leanings and vice versa for The Hindu. Media house keep changing their leanings now and again. I am told that firstpost.com is right leaning which from TV18 which is congress funded.
That makes reader like me confused.

Binu Alex Tv18 and first post are same group

Shivkumar Ganesan Correct. Why they are supporting opposing parties ?

Dhavan Desai Y not, ndtv, outlook , timesnow and all other mouthpieces as well.. u r being selective .. Binu Alex

Binu Alex Mukesh Ambani is the max stakeholder.

Binu Alex For records sake they are the sources with maximum exposes in the last 10 years.
Pioneer or Saamna did not expose a single scam of govt
Check your facts Dhavan Desai

Dhavan Desai Hahaha, selective manipulation at its best..
Binu Alex Just tell me where do get all the info? From the same mouthpieces
Dhavan Desai Ndtv is in losses, still running , am not sure who is paying for it..
Binu Alex Answering my query will solve it
Binu Alex That is not the answer
Dhavan Desai No, i watch them and am intelligent enough to read betn lines..
Binu Alex This is hypocrisy

NOW WITH NO CONTENT TO RESPOND, THE SUBJECT GETS CHANGED OR DIVERTED

Dhavan Desai Dekh yaar tu vapas senti ho gsya.. point samaj, war mat star kar..
Binu Alex You either don't watch them bcos they are mouthpieces or watch them and not make judgements
Shivkumar Ganesan Problem with you Binu you gets too emotional when I argue with you on paid media. Please defend for yourself dont defend for other paid media.

AND HERE COMES A THIRD PARTY

Binoy Samuel Journalism day ?? How come no body knows about this day ? Maybe Archies cards didn't get the information, otherwise they would have promoted it. So today Arnab Goswami might be at his grilling best as this day belongs to him as do all other days ! But today it is bound to be something different. Anyway, I overheard a person who was saying that he has arguments and heated discussion with his wife during the Arnab Goswami show as their quarreling voice gets subdued in Goswami's shouts of " Don't dodge the question". One more reason for TRP.

Can a state High Court in India rule for the entire Country? - SGC

Can a state High Court in India rule for the entire Country?


I was intrigued about this :
Delhi High Court allows nationwide release of Madhuri Dixit-starrer 'Gulaab Gang' tomorrow
How can Delhi HC have jurisdiction over other states? Is it Supreme Court Part II
Can Gujarat High Court allow something in Rajasthan?
If yes, why do we have hierarchy of courts in each state?
Ignorance, you know, is a bliss

I asked Aditya Yagnik, a second generation and young Law enricher and my neighbor about this and this is the series of Facebook Posts he responded to

The reason being the plaint (suit) with regard to the objection would have had been filed before the Delhi HC and the verdict has been passed by it as its due course, ofcourse there is a remedy to this, Delhi HC's order can be challenged before the Hon...See More
30 minutes ago • Like
since the dipute is pertaining to a movie release in India , in such instances it always happens that the portrayal of the movie tends to dismember or hurt the sentiments of a group of individuals, in such instances where "public interest"...See More
So other courts doesnt have this "Original Jurisdiction"?
All State HC's have the original jursidiction under Art 226

Binu Alex Which means all state HCs can have national jurisdiction.
They can pass judgements that is applicable to other states too?
What if a State wants exemption from such a ruling by saying it doesnt apply to us. For eg, if Hindi is made compulsory in India by Delhi HC, can Tamil Nadu court say, it doesnt apply to us

Aditya Yagnik Yes Delhi HC can pass judgments which can be applicable to other states
An individaul state claiming an exemption can knock the doors of their respective HC but the onus shall be on them
High Courts of the state are constituted under the provisions of the Constitution of India, hence their ruling can be made applicable to entire India if prayed for
A petition (suit) is filed in a court of law, which is followed a prayer , which herein means what remedy you seek, now if you pray for a release say within the territory of Delhi, then it can be ruled accordingly, but if prayed for an all India release, DELHI HC CAN GRANT you....
Take for instance the Naz foundation .....sec 377 IPC gay rights, that was filed before Delhi HC, and ruled by it
And also to let you know if u seek exemption in your state HC , if the judgment of Delhi is passed and that two by a division bench, it shall have a persuasive value.
Decision of any High Court binding on all subordinate authorities and Tribunals throughout India until contrary view is taken by other HC
And the bottom-line is the "prayer".. What remedy are you seeking?

Thank You Aditya. This clears my doubt

Local Language - Socially Generated Content

When our own CM is not speaking the mother tongue in his own state for the fear of not being understood on TV in other regions, what can we expect others to preserve the language. But what Bhasha is doing is something unimaginable and something that state should have done. If we dont preserve our language - especially the spoken ones with no lipi - it will vanish




Sanjil Chandani Our CM is trying to talk to India and India still runs on Hindi...

Dhavan Desai Since when he became your CM ?

Binu Alex Whoever it may be or however bad a person be, we have to respect the chair people are voting for. Liking or disliking is a personal matter

Dhavan Desai Bhai binu, tu pehle yeah bata, koi gujarat ke bahar se aayega aur ham uske saath aisa vyavhar kare jo log tamil nadu, kerala mein karate to tere ko kaisa lagega.. in simple english, try speaking hindi not even gujarati in south and u know how they re...See More

Binu Alex Boss your outlook seems to have got narrowed down. It is only Shiv Sena and MNS allies of BJP who creates ruckus. Lakes of Gujjus live and prosper in TN and Kerala peacefully
Here the issue is language and if a person speaks Hindi at Bechraji there is nothing illegal only that it emphasized my point of language love
Hindi is a forced language in India put to practice by the likes of Nehru. Dravidian culture has nothing to do with Hindi or Urdu
Disclaimer : I am not opposed to Hindi
People in TN are opposed to Hindi not Hindi speaking people
Try implementing Tamil as official language in Gujarat

Dhavan Desai So what is the diff ? This is our national language , everyone cant speak your language and English how do u expect them to communicate? People live and prosper especially gujaratis because they adapt and adopt the culture and do not abuse the system there..
I know u r not opposed to hindi but u r opposed to namo.. which is fine..
My point to u is that dont take your hated for him to a level where u lose semblance of right and wrong..

Binu Alex That is my personal issue. I cannot be opposing him when I am asked to report on anything

Dhavan Desai Hindi is not a forced language. If u understand devnagari which is originally a lipi..and majority of Indian languages and not dravidian selective understanding have come from dev nagari..

Binu Alex My dislike is not for a person but the blind faith people put on any individual and not questioning even legitimate questions
Then technically Sanskrit should be our national language

Dhavan Desai Let me count , hindi, marathi, konkani, gujarati, marwari, sindi, kutchi..punjabi and haryanvi are from devnagari..I may have missed some..
Tu wapas galat raste pe ja raha hai..dont hold wrong end of the stick. .
So let me tell u.. sab kuch sahi hota to ram rajya or in your language utopia hota. He is also human. .give him his due.. Tell me except tripura where is the comparison. .

Binu Alex Given. Stamped and sealed

Dhavan Desai Even tripura has law and order problem. .
Nahi. Aise surrender mat kar..accept willingly.. we are in a democracy. 

Binu Alex Indo-Aryan languages is spoken by 73% of Indians and the Dravidian languages spoken by 24% of Indians. There is no consensus for a specific time where the modern north Indian languages such as Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi, Rajasthani, Sindhi and Oriya emerged, Each language had different influences.
You will be surprised Hindi being strongly influenced by Persian.
Anti Hindi riots of 60s took place in TN, the Drividian movement of 60s was largely based on Anti Hindi theme. No other southern state is as hostile to Hindi as TN is. AP, Karnataka, Kerala all are fine with Hindi.
Hindi is the only language where Central govt spends hundreds of crores for nothing leaving all other languages in limbo.

Political Comfort Zones - Socially Generated Content

 Modi Denies an Interactive session

Getting out of comfy zone and answering questions not to his liking is something you have to live up with Modi - as a CM or as a PM

Bijal Shah : The issue is that our country is plagued with Critics - all types who feel that they have fundamental rights to critics anything and everything that happens / does not happen. If Modi decided to do a Google hangout he is criticized but if he avoids a FacebookTalk...still he is criticized. Who will decide his priorities...media / himself. Secondly, talk & debates do not change situations, it is the hard work, clear intentions and determination of a person that leads to change. Inviting Modi and trying to show / expose his weakness ( if any) will not lead to any gain for the country / any individuals.

Binu Alex: Vladimir Putin is hard working, has clear intentions and determination, but is his action justified? May be yes to some no to others. Just like a person's freedom fighter may be another person's terrorist. Determination has nothing to do with target.

Public figures are open to scrutiny. Private people are not. So I may choose not to open my mouth but Modi can do only at his peril. In the last decade, the PM in waiting has not conducted a single interaction with open public - leave alone any press meetings - because he cant handle uncomfortable questions. And the great walkouts when faced with such questions are legendary now.

Correct. Talks cant change the country. But if talk & debates do not change situations, why is he touring the entire country at tax payers money just talking and debating?

The Google Hangouts were talking to his supporters and obviously you cant expect them not to ask unprepared questions. As a Modi fan, if you are given a chance to ask him a question will you ask this?

Sir, અમદાવાદનાં રામોલ વિસ્તારમાં દસમા ધોરણની વિદ્યાર્થિની પર બળાત્કાર
What are you doing to stop such increasing incidents in the state?

The burden on People in Gujarat to prove the exaggerated development model to people outside is proving to be painful now

A Chennai resident actually toured Ahmedabad and wrong this first person account which many didnt like calling him moron. 

Is Modi a man of Development?

Some interesting observations

Shalin Sheth: This guy is scoring his personally. He is bullsheet to compate abad with patna. A stupid guy he is.


Bijal Shah:
I agree shalin....seems to be some moron / asshole. Binu stop sharing such useless and stupid articles written to please somebody rather than presenting facts,
 

Binu Alex: BTW, who has been to Patna? I have not been and so I can’t compare?
Comparison with any other city is not the issue here. The issue is Ahmedabad is yet another city with all the advantages and disadvantages and uniqueness. Please don’t come here think...See More
 

Bijal Shah: I had recently been to Patna....it is so bad that there is just NO COMPARISON...even the railway station looked right out of the Ramsay brothers movies. As you rightly said , AHD is not Singapore....but in comparison with many metros / big cities of India, it still scores higher.
 

Nirendra Dev: the writer if exists should try fiction --- he has a bright future...can join gr magazines too
 

Shalin Sheth : Infrastructure improvement in last 10 years abad is second to delhi as accepted by union govnment. Abad third fastest growing city in the world as per forbes 2010 after chengdu and chongqing. 5th in world 2011 as per forbes. Narendra modi cant change the physique of people and so not the traffic and not cleanliness in roads. Forget patna kol bangluru and chennai has no compare. We have many over literate guys in this country like the guy who wrote this stupid article.


Puzzling. If Modi is so popular among the youths, how did NSUI swept Gujarat University elections? Diya Tale Andhera?



Samir Varier: Consolation Prize! Lol !

Rajesh Kumar Sharma:  बडे बडे खेलो मै छोटी छोटी हारे हुआ करती है .........घबराने का नहि........

(There is always a defence for every offence)

 Shape of Future "Attack on film festival in Kerala's cultural capital shows rising Hindutva presence in liberal state"


Bijal Shah: What happened, which i assume is true, is sad. But i find it very amusing the way the word - HINDUTVA is used. It is as if it means Terrorism !!! Hindutva is a feeling that should bind 100 million people in India - as in HINDUSTAN. Such trivial and regional disparity is what lets the Nation down. Condemn acts, people or organisation but NOT HINDUTVA. 

 This is a WhatsApp Rumour Mongering that went viral

Congratulations..
Aamir Khan is here with a new Entertainment package...
Satyameva Jayate from 2March..
At The End Of the Show he will ask Donations for Humanity Trust..
but, do you know who's trust is this??? What They Do & Why???
Have a Look at the Board Of Directors of this Trust ::
1. Mr. Jagabar Ali.
2. Mr. R. Hakkim Ali.
3. Mr. Fazulutheen.Members of the Board of Advisors are as follow:
1. Mr. M.L. Raja Mohamed
2. Mr. M.S. NASICK
3. Mr. A Ahmed Irzath
4. Mr. S.Abdul Basith

This website says that some of the objectives of their foundation are:-

Masjid Construction assistance. (Bore/construction helps)Placement assistance for Islamic youngsters (notifications about jobs across various geographies

DO VISIT THIS WEBSITE AND CHECK YOURSELF ""Now look at the irony here: people from all over the country belonging to different religions and communities are sending SMSs and making donations, and you can see clearly that money is spent on people of just one particular community and religion – the Muslims!!
Isn’t it unfair that first you are attracting people from different religions on emotional grounds, and when they fall prey to it and give donation, you are using that money for communal purpose without even informing the people where their money is going to be used? How will building mosques and madrasas help our nation? And if it doesn’t then why are people of this country being fooled like this and no one is raising questions? Are only Muslims unemployed in this country? If not then why this step-motherly treatment to people of other religions? See the truth at:
www.humanitytrust.com It is the Hindus who should be taking INITIATIVES in Hindustan and keep the enemy guessing. The others come in only when they see the VACUUM.
Sonia Maino, too, was sucked into this VACUUM of Hindu "Shakti".
There are not too many bad people in India, but the problem is that : There are too many good people in India, who do not speak up about bad deeds, of bad people
