i love taking jabs at the media. ample opps to catch them unaware :-)
there was this news piece by NDTV the other day (i target NDTV the way hackers get at microsoft)... reporter was covering a police firing on unarmed villagers in rajasthan and goes on to implicate the villagers for creating a havoc.
reporter: "it is unthinkable to even imagine..." some emphasis!
this reminds me of one more of their goof ups. it was delhi and in winter.
news reader to live reporter: "so tell me, when will the delayed flights be allowed to leave on time?" .....!? we can question the need for a live reporter some other time. :-)
of course, we can catch all their goofiness when they 'let us know they are goofy' during an end-of-the-year-laugh-your-ass-out snippet.
haha damn...I never seem to catch these jewels.
ReplyDeleteI can only catch the Hamming artist on opening moves of NDTV Profit...he repeats most of his lines twice...'the markets are going down..the MARKETS are going ddown'...or 'Steel is showing a comeback...Steeel is showing a comeback'...find it quite adorable though, the way he tries to create recall.
:-) it's been a while since i watched TV, forget the news... must try n catch the snippet (didnt know there was any such thing :P)
ReplyDeletewe want more jabs!
pranav - me no understand money matters. me find NDTV Profit boring (yawn!) let me say, my sentiments are not quite bullish towards it ;)
ReplyDeletesabita - am kind of forced into watching these news channels. roomie hates my fav ones (i.e. pogo, animax), so i gotta sit thru this ordeal till i get to watch my shows :p & since i pay no attention to the news, this is what catches my ear :D
