Term ‘Presstitutes’ in discussion again on social media

The word ‘presstitute’ continued to be in discussion on social media today for another journalist and another story.

While our prime minister is in Germany and our government is working in full force to bring foreign investment to our country, a private news channel NDTV today continued to flash bytes of industrialist Kirloskar, photos of which are attached with this story.

Journalist Sunetra Choudhary was targeted by number of twitterians for apparently taking NDTV’s very well known anti-Modi approach to anti-India level. Choudhary however reacted that she had just asked broad question, and Kirloskar choose to mention Christian issue on his own.

Twitterian however further asked Choudhary that why she didn’t argue or asked counter question, and why her channel continued to highlight this one thing prominently and not other aspects that could be helpful to country.

Following are some reactions to NDTV’s what social media overwhelmingly calling, a ‘hit job’:

Vijay Kumar: what happiness you guys get shaming India on global platform?Seriously,Is there a small love for India in you ?

Mallikarjuna: Have you ever rebuked him that all recent Church attacks were all false flag or insider operations

Abhishek: first spread falls news then ask deliberately asking Qn with agenda!

Rahul T:lolz. Media creates environment of insecurity then interviews business ppl who shows concern at attacks faked by media.

Kaushik Saha: forcing Kirloskar to say Church attacks will stop FDI. Who r u a evangelist desperate to convert.

Jatak: Who created this narrative ? U people .

Ashish: She went all along to Germany to cover this. Attack on Christian. Wonder what else u have covered there. After all its NDTV.

India First: but in any case of church attack no communal angle was found & no Rss hand as what journos claim even @JohnDayal apologized later

Ashish: M surprised but that shows the quality of Indian Journalist today so with that reasoning do we hv MNC’s office in arab countries.

Oddinary life: way NDTV is generating hysteria by sly insertions is unchanged.Petty theft/ Vandalism/Fake nun rape by B’deshis but demean India

Umesh Davera: God bless us..by this standard China would have been out of industrial map..have our media gone mad or what?

Anurag:But where r the attacks on minorities?I mean last year too same numbers have suffered.. even hindus/Mandir r not spared! Any Plan?

Vadiraj CS: So @sunetrac is in Germany & doing her best 2 raise the bogey of “Xians under attack”, while Modi is slogging it out 2 sell “Make In India”

VibhaSekhar: Terror has no Religion. But investment does have a Religion. Right @ndtv @sunetrac?

To make a point that said journalist is biased against Narendra Modi, many on twitter posted a link of her tweet when Modi as Gujarat CM was down with Swine flu. Embedded below is that tweet:
