They are about to broadcast an interview with Sonia Gandhi that Rajdeep Sardesai did for his recently launched news channel CNN-IBN. In the promos they say something like:
Rajdeep Sardesai: India’s most trusted journalist…
Sonia Gandhi: India’s most enigmatic politician…
I respect Rajdeep Sardesai as a TV journalist and I have no issue with the expression: India’s most trusted journalist. Although coming from his own channel this statement sounds a bit odd. After all he must be the one who approves all these things.
But Sonia Gandhi being India’s most enigmatic politician? I mean, come on, give me a break! You don’t have to stoop so low just to promote a program item. What’s so engimatic about her? Her every move is decided by the coterie, her every acttion is governed by the objectives of opportunism and the only thing she knows is how to use the Gandhi name prorperly.
If CNN-IBN goes the NDTV way then sadly it has no future.

If Rajdeep Sardesai is India’s most trusted journalist, I’ll be a pickled onion. On what counts is he the most trusted. Is his reportage 100% error free, 100% comprehensive, 100% timely, 100% relevant, 100% selected on merit and not other considerations?
Come on, just because a man blows his own trumpet, doesnt mean you have take up the cry.
Some of the best print journos did migrate to TV but most stayed behind. Rajdeep sadly doesnt fall into my category of best print journos. Nor by any standards a good TV journo. He’s aggressive, thrusts news down your throat and his presentation is extremely biased.
CNN-IBN is a wannabe NDTV or any other English channel, nothing more, nothing less
