In an unusual survey by AOLJobs on which occupations attract psychopaths by Kevin Dutton, guess which is third on
the list? Journalism! Read the
article: “Journalism is Among Top 10 Occupations to Most Likely Attract Psychopaths”. The article goes on: “a number of
psychopathic attributes [are] actually more common in business leaders than in
so-called disturbed criminals - attributes such as superficial charm,
egocentricity, persuasiveness, lack of empathy, independence, and focus” So,
maybe it makes more sense now that we think how objective broadcast
professionals and journalists must be to distance themselves from reporting.
I’m not surprised at all. Most editorialists and TV anchors say things that
they forget and they hope others forget too. I’ve said before that the Social
Media is unforgiving and has a vast memory. Some of these celebs get themselves
into a tangle quite frequently.
In my previous post, ‘Media loves criminals’,
I made a gentle reference to Rajdeep
Sardesai (RS) defending Dawood
Ibrahim as a ‘patriot’. The
reference came up in the post on how and why media promotes criminals and over
the recent issue of Javed Miandad being a given a visa to visit India. Naturally,
Rajdeep who discussed the issue on CNN-IBN with as much vigour as anybody else
didn’t expect that his defence of Dawood as a ‘patriot’ would come up
somewhere. Rajdeep, like all media amnesiacs thought no one would remember his
Dawood connection. Fail! It started on Twitter with a quote from Swapan Dasgupta’s blog (see image). Not
only does SwapanD record Rajdeep defending Dawood as a patriot he also mentions
that Rajdeep was defending Dawood against “nasty
saffronites”. Hmm! Saffron! The colour that Rajdeep and his Fiberal community hate. SwapanD also
writes about the “editorial savagery” that greeted any links of ISI and Dawood
with the Bombay blasts. Mind you, he isn’t recalling it as an observer; he
is recalling it as an ‘insider’ who worked with TOI then. So when this ugly
blast from the past came back to haunt Rajdeep he quickly tangled himself in a flurry
of devious tweets and danced on burning coals.
Rajdeep went round and round in circles with tweets
trying to escape but he couldn’t. First he accused “some” on Twitter (he
cleverly didn’t name MediaCrooks) for lying and defaming. So, I presented him
with more facts about his TOI article (April 2, 1993) and his statement of
Dawood being a patriot being raised in the Parliament. Ouch! Parliament lying and defaming too?
Expectedly, no response! He finally gives up the ghost and tweets Dawood is a
patriot by the “Thackeray” test. The
reference is to the late Bal Thackeray who isn’t around to comment on this
cheap theatrics by RS. Note, RS hasn’t anywhere denied that he defended
Dawood as a patriot. Dawood is India’s most wanted terrorist, is an accused
in the Bombay blasts of 1993, is accused of links with Pak ISI, suspected of
links with Al-Qaeda and also of master-minding many terror attacks on Indian
soil from Pakistan. But when most in Bombay clearly suspected Dawood of the
1993 blasts RS was busy defending him as a ‘patriot’. Instead of acknowledging
his bungling because of his hate for “saffron” Rajdeep continues to dodge. Now,
if this guy is airing his crap on TV every night, you can imagine how much
potential prejudice he may carry while discussing issues related to national
security, Hindu culture, Saffron parties or Islamic terror. That’s the “secular” way of climbing
ladders.
Rajdeep likes seeking apologies from others. If he
is “masculine” enough he should acknowledge he made a terrible mistake and say:
“I am sorry, I made a mistake” (Oh!
Don’t repeat “error of judgement” please). Only a psychopath in India would
call Dawood a patriot or refuse to acknowledge his past mistake, if it indeed were
one. But the survey did say psychopaths are attracted to journalism. Right! So
let’s talk about more psychopaths.
Somewhere in the 9-volumes of his life-work, to his
Western audience Swami Vivekananda
responds to a question on women. Not an exact quote but I recall from memory
that he explains that when westerners think of a “woman”, they usually think of the girlfriend or wife. But for
Hindus the first idea of a woman is ‘mother’.
We refer to our homeland as “Bharat Ma”
or “Bharat Mata” and sometimes picturise her as in the image. Quite a few on
the social media have this pic as their ID. Swami Vivekananda is a Hindu icon and is
respected as a patriot. However, a psychopath in a newspaper that ironically still
calls itself “The Hindu” had some
hatred pouring from it. The latest episode had to do with Swami Vivekananda.
We’ll get to it.
The anti-nationals and the pseudo-seculars have
strived for decades to tar almost every Hindu symbol as an act of shame. Morons
have responded to such idiots by appeasing them in the hope they will get
greater support for their cause, whatever the cause may be. After the Delhi
Gangrape incident some of these appeasers have regularly been on TV talking
about safety of women, concerns for law and order and so on. Someone currently
holidaying in London wants to finish off Hindus in 15 minutes. Page-3 activists
like Nafisa Ali even equated an
elected CM with Ajmal Kasab. That
was on NDTV, the channel that loves
patriots like Musharraf and Imran Khan. I wonder how long it will be before
someone comes up with the “Idea of India”
where Ajmal Kasab too is was a closet Hindu. Remember Anna Hazare’s Lokpal fasts in August 2011? One of the first things
they tore down to appease “seculars” was a poster of Bharat Mata. Kiran Bedi & team were at the feet
of that Syed Bukhari begging him for support. An Ex-Police Officer I respect,
Kiran Bedi seems to have forgotten Bukhari had an arrest warrant pending
on him since 2001. It seems Delhi police didn’t have the courage to arrest him.
Kiran Bedi is never short on words for
enforcement of law. They showed much respect for “Bharat Ma”, didn’t they?
The same hypocrisy exists in the commie outfit
called “The Hindu” whose editor, S.
Varadarajan, is an American and hasn’t exactly shown his paper’s name means
anything remotely connected with Hindus. So Varadabhai, as I fondly call him,
hires a journalistic-psychopath called Sanjay
Srivastava to heap more trash on Hindu practices. If it were mere
criticism, that could pass. But this psychopath writes in connection with the
Delhi Gangrape: “Taking the aggression
out of masculinity” which starts with the sub-line: “The Indian family has been a long-standing site for
reinforcing and perpetuating male privilege and entitlement”. Indian family? Okay! But that ends
there and suddenly turns to Hindus alone and, like many fools before, he
trashes Hindu practices. So let’s accept that by the logic of ‘The Hindu’ that Indian simply and definitely
means “Hindus”. Who’s gonna complain about that? The rest of it is nothing
but another foolish rant but surprisingly brings up Swami Vivekananda’s “pose” as the symbol of this
“masculinity”. He says: “Swami Vivekananda’s masculine photographic-pose was only one
aspect of the cult of masculinity encouraged and tolerated by nationalism”.
Huh? On their website this pic of Swami Vivekananda keeps flashing on and off.
So Indian family -->Hindus -->Swami Vivekananda’s pose-->
Masculinity-->Therefore rapes. QED! Damn! This was so simple and we didn’t get it all these
centuries. But hang on! This Srivastava has got a serious point. I’m not
kidding. In a previous post I mentioned that in 2010 rapes in the USA were highest at 84767 so I decided to check out Srivastava’s theory.
I am truly stunned. You can see Abraham Lincoln striking the same pose
as the Swami. So it’s fair to imply Lincoln’s masculinity inspires rapes in the
US. I was wrong though, as someone pointed out that on the same page I have
linked, South Africa has the highest
rapes at 277,012. Oh hell! I had to
check all over again. But there you are! Nelson
Mandela has the same pose as the Swami. But hold your breath! While
searching for these I also found Karan
Thapar in the same pose for his programme on CNN-IBN. So by Srivastava’s logic Karan Thapar’s “masculinity” is a
serious threat at CNN-IBN or where ever he works.
Out of sheer curiosity I also checked out the pics
of Varadabhai and Srivastava. The similarity is striking, eh? So, next time you
cross your arms across your chest be careful. You could be termed “masculine” and a “motive” or “inspiration”
for rapists. Now, some have tried to demolish the foolishness of Sanjay
Srivastava and ‘The Hindu’ with truth and logic. But hey, if logic and truth mattered at all would these people write
such foolish articles in the first place? If logic and truth mattered would
Rajdeep have defended Dawood as a “patriot”? Truth, facts and logic don’t inspire
them. What unites these commie “sickulars” is their uniform and consistent
hatred of Hindu culture and practices. Nothing complicated. Rajdeep’s deputy
even hates seeing Saffron in our National Flag; she calls it “Orange”. You know, I’m starting to
believe that survey that suggests journalism
does attract psychopaths; with their hatred and twisted sense of
patriotism.
