FREEDOM OF THE "PRESS" & INTERNATIONAL PRESS DAY

There was an incident.It was just after the Bihar election when Mr Nitish Kumar had in a very strong voice asked the media to keep away from him after the swearing ceremony that had taken place. He for the FIRST time in his entire LIFE, had just asked the media to keep themselves away from him for good.
A very interesting and a pricking as well as poking incident had evolved in my mind about the Prime Minister saying, during the Bihar election that these media's are BAJARU type of media and those media who have some substance , for them we have some very good things to offer. He later added, I and we do not care for the media
This statement of his, made me to think about WHY IS THE HON'BLE PRIME MINISTER CALLING THE MEDIA BAJARU.
That made me to do a little of search and RESEARCH today , and today I take the opportunity to write these few lines of the media as today is a significant day for the press and the media
INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE PRESS & MEDIA
FREEDOM OF PRESS IN INDIA :: NO WHERE IT IS MENTIOINED IN INDIAN CONSTITUTION

The Freedom of the Press is nowhere mentioned in the Indian constitution. The Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression is provided in Article 19 of the Indian Constitution. It is believed that Freedom of Speech and Expression in Article 19 of the Indian constitution include freedom of the press.
Citizens of India are guaranteed the right of freedom of speech and expression. Every Indian, including press reporters, can express ideas and views freely through press and public platform.
Freedom of expression enables one to express one’s own voices as well as those of others. But freedom of the press must be subject to those restrictions which apply to the freedom of speech and expression. The restrictions mentioned in Article 19 are defamation, contempt of court, decency or morality, security of the state, friendly relations with other states, incitement to an offence, public order and maintenance of the sovereignty and integrity of India.
The status of freedom of the press is the same as that of an ordinary citizen. The press cannot claim any immunity from taxation, is subject to the same laws regulating industrial relations, and press employees are subject to the same laws regulating industrial employment.
Again, the press enjoys normal freedom of expression guaranteed by Article 19 of Indian Constitution. Hence no law can be passed to abridge its freedom of expression, cannot be subjected to excessive or prohibitive burdens to curtail its circulation and cannot be subjected to specific tax deliberately imposed to limit circulation of information. In gist, the constitution does not grant any power to the government to impose arbitrary restrictions on the press. Politicians in power often feel very tempted to pass laws restricting press freedom, to withhold information likely to generate unfavorable reactions among the people.
In 1976, during the emergency, the Parliament enacted the Prevention of Publication of Objectionable Matter Act. The Janata Government in 1978 repealed the Act. However, the 44th amendment adopted in 1978 has given the Parliament substantial powers to regulate press freedom. A new article, Article 361A has been added to the constitution with this object in view.

Censorship Of The Press - ::
The censorship of the Press is a very crucial and sensitive issue in every democracy. In general press censorship is regarded as very unhealthy check on the freedom of free expression of views. In India, the constitution does not specifically forbid press censorship. Hence only check on the state in resorting to censorship is that it should be reasonable. Even this check on the government was not there before the 1st amendment of the constitution in 1951. But in two cases, Brij Bhusan vs. the State of Delhi and Ramesh Thapar vs. State of Madras, the Supreme Court held that censorship imposes obvious restrictions on freedom of speech and expression. After the last amendment, censorship is permitted if it is reasonable and if it is called for in the interest of public order.
Thus the present position is censorship is valid in times of emergency if it is reasonable and if in the interest of public order. In times of emergency under Article 352 censorship is valid when Article 19 itself stands suspended under Article 358 of the constitution.
Press :: Has It Been Within It's Own Limit
In India the MOOT question is HAS THE PRESS BEEN WITHIN ITS LIMIT OR HAS ITS SURPASSED ALL ITS FREEDOM
The answer is-; EXCEPT FOR A FEW LIKE THE ZEE NEWS TV, INDIA TODAY TV AND THE REPUBLIC TV WHICH IS THE BRAIN CHILD OF ARNAB GOSWAMI , WHICH IS COMPERED BY Mr RAJAT SHARMA – THE OTHERS HAVE REALLY KILLED US BY TYHEIR PRESENTATION OF THE PROGRAMMES.
The Real Face Of The Indian Press - ::
Indian press and the TV which floats news are BIASED, SHAMELESS, IDIOTIC, CORRUPTED and STALE to the hilt. Over the years- in an attempt to make loose money and expand their business to the large without providing any real substance, the Indian Press has BUTCHERED the DEMOCRACY by favouring and taking favours. The recent news that the Augusta deal had covered these journalist by paying Rs 45 crores with a salary package of Rs 10 lakhs to some of the journalist to hush up and cover up the deals of the helicopters with the previous Government just shows the GREED that the Indians press and the media is hoofed and geared up with.
Some of the presenters and comperes that we are so DEAD of looking at them , have been a LUMP OF SHIT and so bad a smell that it becomes hard to even bear them. This explain the amount of corruption that exists in the business. Mrs Indira Gandhi from 1975 to 1977 put had put the media on the censorship and a lot of the editors were put into the jail. Thereafter from 1978 the entire press and the media was at its belligerent best for about a decade. Time has come for Mt Narendra Modi to emulate the same feat. Some of them who claim themselves to be a TOWERING FIGURE of the Indian media and press should be sent to the jail. The RUCKUS that it holds to FAN the public and create a FUROE is really UNBEARABLE and it is not at all possible to smell these STINKS anymore after having INHALED and EXHALED these breathe of very bad air.
My OWN ASSESMENT of Indian Media and the PRESS- THEY ARE A LUMP OF BULLSHIT BE IT ANY SPORTS CHANNEL OR NEWS CHANNEL OR ANY PRESS. The exceptions could be a few channels that I have mentioned above.
Cricket, cricket cricket and cricket I see the media involves in. BASICALLY CRICKET HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO A SHIT FROM 1996 TO 2016 and it is a MORGUE to keep the DEAD body now in the era of the 2021. . THE CULPRITS HAVE BEEN THESE CRICKETERS , BUT THEY HAVE BEEN MADE THE WORLD HEROES IN LIEU OF THOSE WHO ACTUALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE HEROES . More than anybody else these media has not only finished cricket where in Indian cricket, there is money and loose money and nothing else . Some other Sports and games will also be soon finished by media in the days to come.
Like cricket- they have destroyed, ie, the MEDIA has destroyed every blessed things that this nation had and the GREATEST sufferer has been this NATION.

Well , that is it and That sums it all.

Regards and Thanks
