A national security breach in Darjeeling? Oh, just a minor incident involving the husband of a TMC leader allegedly caught with DRDO documents and radioactive material. Nothing to see here! Naturally, this is not the sort of thing our valiant, ever-vigilant #PappuMedia journalists like Rajdeep Sardesai and #LadyRajdeep Preeti Choudhry would bother addressing. After all, why waste their precious outrage on something so trivial when there are more pressing matters—like crafting poetic tweets about democracy or dissecting Bollywood controversies?
And let’s not forget, Sagarika Ghose, Rajdeep Sardesai‘s wife, happens to be a Rajya Sabha MP from the Trinamul Congress. Coincidence, you say? Of course! To even suggest that this could influence editorial priorities would be a gross injustice to their towering commitment to journalistic integrity of #PappuMedia.
Indeed, when #PappuMedia journalists entrusted to champion accountability choose selective amnesia, it’s not bias – it’s a masterclass in discretion. After all, why hold everyone accountable when you can curate your activism? Why let something as mundane as espionage and national security tarnish the pristine glow of selective outrage? Media neutrality? Oh, let’s not bore ourselves with such outdated ideals. Surely, the public will understand that journalistic courage is best reserved for critiquing those who aren’t part of one’s inner circle. The silent treatment here isn’t a double standard; it’s a strategic retreat, a lesson in sophisticated silence for the greater good (of certain affiliations).
Really, we should commend this level of restraint. It’s not every day you see such disciplined silence in world’s second oldest profession that thrives on shouting matches. Perhaps this isn’t just about journalism – it’s about redefining journalism! So, let’s applaud this remarkable evolution of the #PappuMedia. If this trend continues, we might soon have a new definition of press freedom: the freedom to press pause on inconvenient stories. Bravo!
