The Constitution of India gives editors and journalists the fundamental right to publish and print news or any kind of information and to comment and criticize on public affairs. It includes the right not to publish or comment as well. However, the freedom of the press is not absolute; neither is the freedom of expression.
The fundamental objective of journalism is to serve the people with news, views, comments and information on matters of public interest, in a fair, accurate, unbiased, sober and decent manner.
Throwing all code of ethics and media guidelines to the winds, the “Ananda Bazaar Patrika” is hell bent on disgracing, defaming, tarnishing and discrediting CPI (M) and its allies on this or that pretext.
As a matter of fact, “Ananda Bazaar Patrika” has always been not only biased but also prejudiced towards the C.P.I. (M), the Left Front and the Left Front Government. It never follows minimum journalistic ethics and fairness while publishing news in respect of CPI (M) and the Left Front Government. Now-a-days, its sole and only political aim is to instal Mamata Banerjee as the next Chief Minister of West Bengal by any how and at any cost. So, all their reporting is guided by this game plan in mind. So it has been glorifying the Maoist butchers as heroes and justifying the murders of CPI (M) leaders and cadres by them. It has been turning day into night and night into day. Every single news and reporting in respect of CPI (M) and the Left Front are based on distortions of fact, slanderous campaign, untruthfulness, defamatory or derogatory imputations, inaccuracy, partiality, unfairness and indecency. If Hitler and/or his Propaganda Minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels were alive, they would have hung their heads in shame to see that their appropriate successors in the “Ananda Bazaar Patrika” and others such as ‘Bartaman’, ‘Pratidin’ ‘Sangbad’ “The Statesman” following it have surpassed them in every matter of fraudulency, deception, dishonesty, distortion of fact, manufacture and concoction of false & fake news, slanderous campaign, unfairness and what not.
Old people will not forget the role of “Ananda Bazaar Patrika” during 1967-1972. During this period, it had glorified the Naxalites as heroes and their action of individual killings. The Naxalites had killed hundreds of CPI (M) people in connivance with Congress, police, RAW and hardened criminals. Thousands of people were made refugees by evicting them from their shelter and means of livelihood. At that time the “Ananda Bazaar Patrika” acted as the ambassador of Congress-Naxalite Alliance.
The “Ananda Bazaar Patrika” is so much obsessed with anti-CPI (M) politics that even a slight rumour or gossip involving CPI (M) occupies its headings of the front page.
