Capitalism on BBC

The BBC is showing a three part series on capitalism in February. I missed the first part shown over last weekend, but will catch up with the other two. I’m not so sure about how they intend to tackle it, knowing the Beeb’s biases well. I suppose they’re going to be “even-handed” looking at the […]

An Outdated World This Week

When I was in school, the pre-eminent news program was Prannoy Roy’s The World This Week (TWTW). Friday nights were sacrosanct. Like all good things on Doordarshan, India’s only TV channel then, it was shelved after a good run.

Of late, I’ve been more and more disappointed with the quality of news and readable articles in mainstream papers, the TOI of course is the main culprit. I went through 4 papers today, and here are the […]
