Barkha Dutt is a performance artist at par with Modi. In the aftermath of a bombing near SBI on Residency Road, Srinagar, in which an HT press photographer was killed, she asked her cameraman to film her console a local photographer who was in shock. . #kashmir (contd)
... the photographer had just seen his colleague killed. Even in the midst of that chaos she saw an opportunity, ordered her cameraman to film her,wrapped her arms around the photographer and asked, “is there firing, are they firing..” when all you could hear were gunshots...
... with a bit of editing, her ordering her cameraman to film her was chopped, @ndtv used that as a promo for years. A lesson for any journalist on how to bend ethics.! The fake concern she shows ever since was honed in #Kashmir.
