44:36 tbh it’s their fault and it’s not their fault , it’s the NDTVs fault that they were thinking that the government who’s lap they’re sitting in will go on forever And it’s not their mistake now because , I mean think about it once you go up in life, then suddenly you can’t come back down , I mean imagine you’re used to driving a Mercedes now if you’re suddenly down to maruti suzuki , It will leave a bitter taste in your mouth Now imagine you’re downed by the government, whom you thought you will control using your propaganda against 😂
This was an amazing podcast among the best I have seen. Smitha Prakash opened up & gave such insightful answers. I have seen most of her podcasts. Here I came to know a lot more about her. She is a treasure & a legend. I Love the way she takes down the establishment in the media, even naming names.
18:04 She described Indian democracy and constant election frenzy. Why India suffered for 70 years because the politicians never considered India as a permanent house. When house owners keeps changing, house staying in a good condition is the last priority. Difference between India and China.
@@sohamsteel1345 who said that..but that's the truth you need a level of nationalism to actually kickstart things.. Chinese came back and build what they can back in their country..same for korea
so indira gandhi was absolutely right in implementing the emergency ?? if a political party wats to destroy opposition and call the shots no matter the consequences then its not good for any democratic nation ,, someone who is just looking after the house should never feel he is the owner ,,, because its the house of the people not the political party
@@raghavjoshi8587 Right. No party in India today keeps itself fixed to a particular side of political spectrum. Those who do, become like Left parties.
She is saying that media is vibrant and today is 18th April and 2 days passed since satyapal malik's claim and no clue of the interview on ANI. All i can see is atiq ahmed
You both started with high end English and slowly moved to desi hindi and started talking about food.... that's really funny. But I happy that finally someone has taken Smita Prakash's interview. Really enjoyed it thoroughly
According to her criticising government all the time makes a journalist bitter, calling others as godi media is not appropriate then what will she call those journalist who always praise modi, over sweeteners??? Those who label the others (who have different opinions) as anti nationals, opposition's propaganda and what not. Is it not biasness. Ravish criticised congress during there government and he hasn't changed his style of journalist but why those journalist who used to be neutral has started favouring bjp? These Tv channels have started criticising public supreme court and all those international organisations which ask question to modi government and mark my words that day isn't far away when they will be criticising armed forces as well. If you are true then why you run away from questions? Modi has never had any press conference. Why? ... They are doing extremely well in terms of development but when it comes to handling criticism they are zero. When it comes to doing good politics they are zero. They only know one type of politics that is politics of religion (same as divide and rule). They only know one way to stop criticism that is ED CBI raids
Great dialog. Free and frank. I have watched many SP podcasts recently. I knew nothing about her past until i just checked. Her hubby is the CEO of ANI that was founded by SP,s dad-in-law. I would hope that the podcast host would have stated this "context" upfront. What ever become of " Truth in journalism/reporting "? Oh this rule of thumb may not apply to podcasts. My comment should not be taken negatively. The 2 hosts are commendable
Because that German NRI youtuber is catching his subscribers. Moreover, despite his close ideological friend, He can't promote Ravish in his every freaking video. 😂 So obviously, there will be some level of saturation to the growth of Ravish. Moreover nowadays it seems he has lost his mind. I mean, when he didn't resign, he was making much more sense than now.
@@dharmeshparikh7837 there was a team at ndtv to write down his script, find the best news for him to cover make him look intellectual. Now he is on his own so showing his intellect
43:57 ndtv has all the access because of pranoy roy, and also because he was a journalist. You think a country like America would give access to news channels like R Bharat or zeenews. Hadd hai ek to khule aam chaat rahe hai or itna ghamand
1.How convenient for smitaji to say that it was people who labelled 'godi media' as so were the ones who 'spoilt' the atmosphere. Smita ji is a decent journo but she can't deny that Zee-news, ABP and Arnab were saying the most horrible polarising things. The only consolation she has is 'pehle bhi toh tha' but that's not the point of having morals. 2.Plus, on the question on Ravish, I have never seen him do access journalism, he was actually quite an outlier at NDTV also. He was always doing on-ground journo. He actually never got access the way Srinivas, nidhi and others did. Don't dismiss his honest journalism with godi journalism. 3. On the question of balance, if there is zero balance in the atmosphere then some people need to take up the mantle of atleast trying to level the other side.
DD had a great value in suddenly making India visible to all. Everything evolves, and so has news reporting in India. All the current journalists like Smita et al are products of that early era broadcasting. Let's not just trash the past just because it's the past - they are the foundations on which we now stand.
I believe, even with that access NDTV covered all the scams, corruption and criticized the ruling govt. But now, I don't see a single debate on Adani issue, Price rise etc...
I can see what you're trying to say but still it's the way they used to function that's the problem Why should certain people have extra constitutional powers And the biggest lie is that media is the 4th pillar of democracy It never was...
It is a good habit, indeed, but I suppose any sense of weirdness that others may feel issues from the stereotype that Sanskrit is limited merely to cantillations.
@@SamvedIyer Bro,are you the same Samved who used to write on Quora's mithila right libertarians? Have seen your profile a lot in political discussions 😅
Abolutely, I dont find anything weird about it! I think she is trying hard to fit into the "vibe" of the show and hence such cheap comments! I lost bit of respect I had on her...
The level of access NDTV was so deep that that they managed to celebrate their channels anniversary program from Rashtrapati Bhawan. Tell me one channel who could do this at present time.
And they still had the balls to do Ravish ki Report. Godi media will eat their own balls before they do anything close. I dare you to find me any report by Arnab after 2014 that comes even close to Ravish ki Report.
Exactly! That's why NDTV has turned so bitter, post 2014. The journalist she is talking about 42:36 is none other than, Barkha Dutt. Tbh it's quite scary!
Bjp won election without media in 2014 that's true but in 2019 bjp won because of godi media she did a podcast with Arnab so you can understand that she will never spoke against godi media or bjp
@@naushabatalat1332 arnab hasn't celebrated ceremony of his news channel in rashtrapati bhavan like RNDTV did when congress was in power. Rndtv and rubbish r REAL GODI MEDIA or GANDHI MEDIA. Sit down😂 BJP wins Mainly coz of schemes, then nationalism, then h1ndutva
@@CRuS4D3R88 ok that was wrong and ndtv must be criticised for that but in terms of credibility and sensible reporting ndtv is far better than godi media Ravish never shouts like a maniac drugs do drugs do journalist must be disciplined and calm not a joker
You have right to criticize anyone but I think this lady does not have enough knowledge even she does not concerned about the difference between bitterness and hatred. Ravish Kumar used such tag like godi media because all these godi media channels does not fulfill their duty. There there are some responsibilities of journalism. Instead of that they all are just spreading hatred in a society.
Ha bhai Bilkul 2014 se pehele toh humlog pura Utopia theay I still remember that when we had flying cars and 20 trillion dollar economy but after Modi came out economy went down to 4 trillion there's no flying cars He introduced such a disaster system like UPI increased our defence budget Kashmir is peaceful now wtf is going on in my country....Like the great Chidambaram said Desh ke bhikhari logoke pass Kahase Internet ayega how would they pay using UPI hum bhuke nangay log ..hay....vai sab..."Doomsday"
Ravish never says any anchor name till now but this women have personal issues with ravish because ANI same as Godi media . because ANI never question on Government.And never stop false or wrong propaganda of BJP and RSS .women☕
I really liked how she called out NDTV and its crooked ways of working. No wonder their journalists always seemed to have a superiority complex. Because no matter what, they always had access !
@@nowwhat6716 Face value ? It's substantially evident how NDTV pushed itself passive aggressively to be on top in the electronic media category. And if you watched carefully, she actually blamed TV ( the channel ) culture.
@@MB-vm5ze There are so many people who are criticising Smita Ji out there in SHORTS of this Podcast by saying this " Ki Darwin Ko Evolution Ka Concept Samjha Rahi..".. Problem is that people never listen to things properly.... They just pick up some random words in commentary and start doing their rant about it.... Smita Ji did criticise News Channel for such content if we listen it properly.... Moreover, Jinki Umar 30 saal nhi hain wo Ek Editor ko Advice de rahe hai jiska Journalistic Career 3 decade se jyada ka hai ......
@@vanshsapkal2826 she did a podcast with Arnab so she will never spoke against Godi media or bjp . Even though ndtv had this level of access but that doesn't change the fact that Godi media is just a circus with insane level of stupidly Cringe Reporting. If Godi media has no topics then they will show you some alien sh!t full timepass ndtv has never done that. Ravish Kumar is not a loud barking dog unlike arnab he is very calm
@@MB-vm5ze yet U fail to realise how she critique the individuals of NDTV but not critique any of her friends of godi media because she has access to them apparently. Let's say even if what she says about NDTV is true, are U saying two wrong makes something right.
As an army brat, I totally agree with her about the temporary relationships, changing friends every 3 years, the immersion rod part, someone planting a tree God knows when and whosoever will come to reap the fruits. Everything has continued till this day and it feels so nostalgic but also relevant at the same time.
@@t-t8961 ya, I do know a few families too who lived outside. That brings in a stability to one’s life for sure but then missing out the other part mentioned here. It’s a trade off
Having access doesn't equate to being completely partisan. Maybe Ravish Kumar went all out because everyone else stopped carrying out their journalistic duties. This lady knows it and she herself has immensely benefitted a lot from being partisan. And I am sure in her heart of hearts she very well knows this and also what her "friends" in other news channels are doing. I don't see her inviting any opposing voices on her podcast and here she is talking about "balance". Lastly what's with the click baity title dude? Ravish is not the only person she talked about in this whole podcast.
43:29 This is true and everybody in the media knows this. I was working for a telugu private channel who hired NDTV as "consultants" and those guys hardly helped us with anything. I brought this up with the higher ups that it's a waste of money for that so called consultant who doesnt even answer our phones. He told me that the real reason for hiring NDTV is to be in the good books of the dispensation of the day as they can broker to get "things done" with their connections and told me to ignore those consultants. Then I moved to another channel after a while and it was the same story there. Every regional channel was wooing them for their influence.
Shoe cleaner they put there knowledge skill in shoe of the ruling party she the one of those journalist tagging andolanjivi etc ravish Kumar bitterness also hurt upa government living in delusional worst for journalist same on her
I saw this mainly to see what she had to say about NDTV and if she would really say it, and yesss, she said it. I loved it. Worth my time. Congrats Smitha
Maturity is when you realise that a journalist bashing a media is not a concern....but a journalist not asking tough questions to people in power is a concern
The host seems bit inclined towards left by the way he asked about press freedom and the way se said meat is not available in Navaratra. Also he acted so innocent when Smita exposed Ravish and NDTV as if he is so new that he don't know involvement of NDTV journalist Barkha in Kargil, 26/11, Radia Tape, NDTV celebration in Rashtrapati Bhawan and journalists travelling with Manmohan and served with expensive drinks, etc.
@@prashantkhodecha7622 barkha's involvement in Kargil and 26/11? She's a journalist she covered the events for new channels. How did you manage to implicate her for this?
Reality all private media houses have a safe zone where they skip to discuss....... Weather it's BJP and godi Or ndtv and congress........ But the journalist at ndtv did used to ask question the congress just take the example of ravish.... There are many instances where he call manmohan sing by name...... Now the situation is different in godi media those journalists who question the govt are being fired........either u lick BJP shoe or destroy your career............ Just take the example of satyapal malik revelations arnab have not not even a single show... While any thing comes out about opposition even they jump on it
I mean hypocrisy ki koi Sima nahi rahi Bhai .Kaise seh lete ho.Nice now she has all access so everything is going fine in this country.Ravish is now doing journalism.she is doing it.🤣🤣🤣
Awesome experience of a podcast👌👌. Thank you very much🙏 for this episode with one of my most favourite media persons. The conversation was so eloquent that it was like reading a book which cannot be put down until we read the last word. ❤
ravish at his time in ndtv he went to amit shah house and for your information bjp was opposition that time. he always question party in power. but in today time he was labeled as congressi aur whatever. but before 2014 he never labeled as bhajpai. i;m his viewer and dostcast viewer also. you in your mind made a perception and said that particular ecosystem watched him. this is shameful. and you not said a word about arnab journalism.
Smita Prakash is not worth watching. Forget about “access” . She’s talking about balance while the job of a journalist is to show the reality instead of licking boots . How illogical and foolish of her to say that . She’s all rhetoric devoid of truth and logic
Such a hypocrate. Arnab and Navika constantly call ndtv lutyens media and u hv no problem with that. RU-vid was not such a rage before 2014, otherwise ndtv's partiality would hv been called out. Still i know for a fact that ndtv has been called out even by Newslaundry for being pro-establishment before 2014. Infact It was Newslaundry's flow chart that went viral showing connections of Ndtv with congress and left parties. Interestingly, Ravish had his Ravish ki report show which constantly criticized Manmohan govt. You can see the clippings urself of Ravish ki report. Its on RU-vid. But today the new media is gone to the dogs. No shame or ethics whatsoever. And Smita Prakash with her bjp mouthpiece ANI, is the queen of Godi Media .
Arey did Ravish roast RaGa like the way he roasted MMS? That's the real question because poor Manmohan was being roasted by RaGa only, at that time when he tore away MMS's speech in front of press to demean him. Manmohan and Congress chamcho ko roast karne se kuch nahi hota...the real question is has he ever roasted RaGa or Sonia Gandhi??? They are the real deal in Congress. Ravish unko roast karega bhi kaise...did you know that his rape accused brother is in Congress party!! This so called brilliant journalist never talks about that...does he?!
It's interesting how people are eager to label you nowadays so that anything you say no matter if it's good or bad can be dismissed by those who don't agree with it. We no longer promote healthy debate and discussion but just want to label people as 'liberal' or 'andhbhakt' and both pro and anti BJP people are guilty of it.
Yeah those things are right. I would like to digress and have a discussion on the words liberal and secular. Before I start, I have no interest in politics. I don't support right or left or center. I just don't care. People have forgotten the meaning. I mean we can't blame them, they all 10th fail prolly. Secular means to have all religions on an equal pedestal and that was agreed upon in the constitution and is one of the words in the preamble(first page). But unfortunately this word has become a way to target people and shame them for being rational and logical. I've seen people commenting ki agar tum secular ho toh when muslim people ask for your mother give them that. I mean they commit so many logical fallacies
there is a reason for that ,, with almost nazi like propaganda driven news channels the pushback turned into vitriolic ,, all these news channels existed before 2014 too ,, i have never seen so much of demonising and it was started by pro bjp news channels ,,people used to protest before 2014 too ,, but no one demonised them like the present govt does ,, and news channels are supporting that political party ,, why difd they turned there narrative in such a way ,,
As her point even when NDTV had access to the government, they were still asking questions from them. They didn't hire a script writer to ask questions like "aap aam kaise khaatey ho" ya "aap thaktey kyun nahin". The term "Godi Media" exists because the kind of work they are doing which is only promoting how great central govt is and not asking real questions for regular people. It's not because a reporter like Ravish wants to put them down. I've worked with a media agency for 2 years and I know how things changed when JNU protests were happening or Ram Mandir verdict came out. Currently Indian media is like a dog with a leash to the central government. There's a reason why press freedom ranking of our country is 150 which is really sad for the largest democracy of the world.
Rndtv celebrated ceremony of their news channel in rashtrapati bhavan when congress was in power. That is REAL GODI media😂 2- RNDTV shekhar Coupta asked sonia gandhi if she liked pasta. Rndtv asked rahul gandhi if he likes samosa😂
@@itsamitsharma now u deflected from the point to ANOTHER POINT. that's what u ST1NKING L1BR@NDUs do. Modi does 1-1 interviews and that's enuf. Modi stopped press conferences BECAUSE Congress godi media RNDTV kept asking him about 2002 even when nothing against him is proven. So sit down now and deflect to another point now
Why to blame Akshay Kumar for Asking Modi ji aap kaise Aam khata hai.for Akshay Kumar adulthood period has passed Listening to Ravish kumar filth interviews with Congress leader Jai Ram Ramesh,Mani Shankar Aiyar and Tharoor interview in Hindi,which was in same pattern
@@sanjeevverma4533 I never blamed Akshay Kumar, it was not his personal question. The producers give questions to ask in such interviews. But the real question should be why an actor was picked to take interview of our PM. Where were all the journalists? The only last unscripted interview which our PM gave was to Karan Thapar, in which he walked out and since he's not been part of even one press conference. You can go and watch 2019 BJP press conference where he passed all the questions to Amit Shah and didn't even answer one. Another incident when PM was addressing villagers through a video call, one person stood and started asking about increase in price of petrol and other materials. Look at the way he was asked to sit down. If you think that it is alright for our leader to dodge questions like this or only sit in orchestrated interviews then what's the point of even having journalists. And if you think there's nothing wrong and no questions are worth asking then I've nothing to say. Have a nice day.
The only reason I can think of her talking about NDTV access in countries like Pakistan, USA etc is to establish that NDTV is working with an agenda against India with foreign help.
Not really. How would you do what NDTV did without proper access in India and other countries. What type of power would you wield to have done what they did. Do you not remember barkha dutts warped ews items where she painted kashmiri hindus as being responsible for their plight?
@@blistering2900 when smita becomes a bollywood actress, she will. Till then let us enjoy rajdeep asking sonia if she makes pasta and what kind of mother in law was indira.

She never said that govts shouldn't be criticized. Ravishs agenda was always to criticize the government, and he used to call those who supported the govt godi media. And we know his reasons well. Ndtvs has always been Pro congress and has been getting access from so many years. I mean, if it doesn't suit you, it doesn't mean other people are wrong. Modis government might have done many things wrong, but no one can deny they have done so many things right as well. Media has always been either leftist or rightist but there is a way to criticize govt. People have voted this govt. twice that means these people are wrong and NDTV is the only grp where people think righteous ?
Smitha ma'am, it was a beautiful journey which you described.. i was enjoying all through.. suddenly your COVID discussion came up. I really shuddered. It brought back my memories.. Me & my mom hosptalised with COVID and only i survived..
There is difference between level of access and doing nanga naach like godi media is doing nowadays , ndtv never done nanga naach they had access and godi media have.
She must ask herself when was the last time she questioned the BJP ministers about the jumlas they made when she interviewed them. She has no moral right to question Ravish kumar. Frustrated B&D anchors
Mention jumla. Dont be a Ravish bhakt He had done at least 10 morally and professonally invorrevt thing i can name top of my head which include defending Taliban.. So dont go there
Difference is,Modi is a politician. Ravish Kumar is a journo serving another politician. But again,I wouldn't expect a madrassachap namazi to know the difference
Ms. Smita Prakash, FYI, Journalism doesn't mean creating some kind of 'balance'. Criticism of those who are in power is the main role of a Journalist. Holding the govt accountable to the people should the quest not creating balance. Ha Ha Ha

ANI journalist criticising Ravish Kumar and defending Arnab,Navika,Rajat etc. BJP doesn't like Media!!! She features in Arnab's show defending the govt. She says Amit Shah is brilliant!!! Her guests are pro govt right wing or right leaning people.Her twitter gives away what she thinks and whom she favours. Nothing more to say.
"The BJP doesn't like the media exactly much,they don't make any bones out of that.Which is GOODD. Journalist and politicians should not be friends,we can be friendly or civil but can't be friends" - Smita prakash 44:40 Smita's insight to an Utopian vision!!
It is odd to hear Smita saying she does not have ego. On the contrary there have been many times on the media platforms she exhibited the ego extensively. May be it was selective to those who are rich and famous vs. colleagues vs. commoners who follow her on Social Media. I watched this video for a long time, though repetitive and boring, just because of Smita. But I stopped it when anchor commented about not finding meat during Navaratri, and that too in comparison with Pakistani hotels covering black cloths to hotel eateries. It is clear indication that this anchor is no different for India and Hindu bashing than those of Hindu haters of NDTV. If he needs clarifications on it he can connect with me and I will provide detailed explanations. SHAME ON SUCH SHALLOW MEDIA PEOPLE.
Chill dude. It's alright and happens regularly. No need to hype about it. Stop giving importance to what you don't like and the lime light on the topic is gone. So, just go SLOOOOW.
People criticising Seema ji for her seemingly rightist approach must remember that everyone has their biases. But the true journalist will try to find the balance by not being blatant without the necessary facts. The true journalist will paint the picture whilst trying to be wholesome, rather than just putting up cropped up images. I think the thing with NDTV was as she said, they always had the access no matter what. But post-jio era has substantially diminished the value of media's influence, as the value of ' access ' factor got substantially deminished. People no more rely on the media houses to form opinions. This has been seemed as a threat in many of the top tier journalists of the past and their agony of loosing the status and the stature is highly visible !
Ravish Kumar was right in calling the channels godi media. During congress rule most of the mainstream media criticized congress heavily but now it's just sucking up to them
@@dbtta bro he never talked about scam done by pranay Roy and his wife and he tried to justify sharjeel imam's statement and during Shaheen bagh he said shahrukh pathan who had a pistol was some anurag Mishra and his journalism kon jaat ba ? Hindenberg videos are piece of shit
Difference of Sanskar , I have seen Union Ministers, Army - R&AW officers addressing Smita mam as Smita ji or mam but Dostcast guy despite being of Smita mam's son age kept on calling her Smita-Smita .. Shame on him , nothing goes away if we give respect to others especially our elders..
Good to find Smita Ji on the other side of the desk! You could grill her a little more and many more interesting 7things would tumble out. She has HUGE experience in journalism.
Come on can't you see most of the Hindi news channel praising bjp all the day except one or two who actually have the guts to ask real and factual questions from the govt.
