@sardesairajdeep What is Democratic press freedom?

It was a joint briefing and not press conference yet she responded rudely... "That's not how we do things in Norway". Helle Lyng is a Chinese puppet. She activated her account after two years just to post this video to target India's PM Modi. Shame on you, Rajdeep. Being an Indian you are not standing with your own country??

@sardesairajdeep Just chill ur nuggets, ffs!! How come you don't know the basic manners of journalism and the difference between a press conference and briefing??? 🙄

@sardesairajdeep Tag Rahul & ask him why every time an uncomfortable question is tagged as "BJP question" ? Got guts Rajdeep ?? Let's see how neutral & honest of a journalist you are. Do that & then expect PM to respond to the likes of you.

@sardesairajdeep U fought like a tigeress ohh noo tough question or praises

@sardesairajdeep Hey Rajdeep. Just Last year Republic Bangla reported was arrested for asking Tough question to Mamta Banerjee. I have not seen any "Yeh Kahan aa gaye hum" rona from your end. Even you supported and indirectly cheered for Arnab's arrest. So calm down

@sardesairajdeep Tough question by Rajdeep- Did Indira Gandhi help you in cooking?

Moron from manhattan this is the truth of norwegian press! While Norway consistently holds the top spot on the World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders, "dark truths" usually refer to structural blind spots and localized controversies. Despite vast protections, critics point to issues like government secrecy, press monopolies, and the unintended silencing of marginalized voices. 1. Weak Transparency Laws Despite its reputation for openness, Norway’s Right to Information (RTI) legislation is surprisingly lacking. Academic studies on RTI rankings place Norway around 81st globally for the quality and strength of its legal framework. Journalists frequently face arbitrary delays or overly rigid confidentiality obligations when trying to access critical public documents. [4, 5] 2. Deepening Media Consolidation The Norwegian media landscape—while heavily subsidized by the government—is dominated by a few massive conglomerates, such as Schibsted and Amedia. This heavy centralization means that a few corporate boards control a vast majority of the country's local and national newspapers. Critics argue this leaves little room for genuinely independent, grassroots journalism to thrive outside the mainstream corporate purview. [6, 7] 3. State Subsidies Create Dependency To ensure a diverse press, the Norwegian state provides substantial direct financial subsidies to media outlets. While this successfully prevents news deserts, it creates a subtle conflict of interest. Critics warn that media reliance on state funding can lead to institutional self-censorship, where outlets become hesitant to aggressively challenge the government that heavily subsidizes their existence. [8] 4. The "Nordic Consensus" and Conformity Because Norway is highly ranked, independent investigative journalists and advocacy groups have highlighted an issue where the heavily homogeneous media establishment enforces a strict socio-political "consensus." This conformity can make it difficult for highly critical or radically dissenting perspectives to break through the mainstream media narrative. [5] 5. Intimidation and Diplomatic Tensions Even for an independent press, reporting on international issues from within Norway can be fraught. Tense standoffs have occurred when Norwegian journalists attempt to question visiting foreign dignitaries on human rights or press freedom records. These incidents—particularly when foreign governments lash out at Norwegian reporters—underscore the precarious, sometimes confrontational reality of holding global powers accountable from a country that fiercely defends press freedom.

@sardesairajdeep Remind us again Rajdeep. Like when? Was it when you asked about that pasta recipe or those mother in law tidbits?

Rajdeep should be the last person to give lectures about asking tough questions. This is what he asked to Sonia Gandhi after 10 years of corrupt Congress rule. During Lok Sabha, instead of asking questions to Siddaramaiah on poor condition of Bengaluru, Rajdeep asked how he eats Ragi Mudde.

@sardesairajdeep This is what tough questions look like. Aspiring journalists should learn from these journalists

Remember when Pranab Mukherjee ji fixed an arrogant reporter while giving an interview? There's a thin line of difference between asking genuine questions and creating a scene knowingly for personal fame and mala fide intention for others. Btw is that you in the video👉🏻👈🏻

U reverse illegal land occupation, u reverse the Ghazwa These b@ggers used to think that they could trade their votes to occupy land If they want a land let them pay money for it along with tax I am glad the reconquista has started

Wherever illegal slums are demolished, how come the "victims" are always the peaceful?

A country ,which has lesser population than of the city of Pune need not lecture the world’s largest and complex democracy on how to exist and treat its citizens. You've got your payment and 2 bit fame. Now go.

India’s diplomats are no longer apologetic on the global stage, they are assertive, confident, and unapologetically pro-India. 🇮🇳 Amb. Sibi George firmly reminded the world in Oslo that India is a democracy built on equality, constitutional rights, and dignity for all. “This is my press conference.” That confidence reflects the rise of New India under PM Shri @narendramodi Ji…

My thoughts on the whole Norwegian journalist thing Europeans, especially northern Europeans, are rude (by our standards) We Indians are taught to be humble. Stuck in the concept of "atithi devo bhava." We cannot imagine being rude to a guest like that. Europeans know this, and they shamelessly exploit this cultural advantage over us. This reminds me of something Harsha Bhogle said about the famous 2002 Natwest final at Lords in England "We have always harbored notions of telling people ... get stuffed yourself, but we never did it. We were a great talking nation. We weren't a great doing nation. And when Saurav came along and he actually took that shirt off, people said ah...someone's actually done it." It's the same situation with foreign media and India today. Like it was with cricket in 2002. We get angry and seethe online, but face to face, Europeans know we would never talk to them like that. Someone in Indian media has to do to them what they do to us. Someone has to do the equivalent of what Saurav Ganguly did at the Lords balcony in 2002. This rudeness cannot be taught. It cannot be scripted. It cannot be planned. It has to come spontaneously. Go make a cartoon of the Norwegian PM serving drinks on Epstein's island. But be sure to put it in the middle page of the newspaper. Because you know, it's tiny Norway, not worth being on our front pages.

"It is not my responsibility to run their channels and newspapers." PM Modi, 20 years ago, on why he stays away from Media.

@AdityaRajKaul @narendramodi "world's freest media" showing the world that they are nothing but a bunch of White supremacists who are still living with a racial bias against India.
