  • Extremely one-sided

    Too bad for people who portray themselves as independent media. It is quite good if you want singular perspective but then again that is not journalism but another propaganda machine in the guise of independent media.

  • Although I am a subscriber and like their work, can't really like the Hafta format which sounds more like chit chat rather than serious reporting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NL Hafta 614 Snippet : Is MAGA Over? What the US Midterm Results Really Mean
Q: How big a deal is it? Is it big enough to see any behavior change in the US administration, which pretty much means Trump?
Joyojeet Pal says the result is a major setback for MAGA and Trumpism, though not for conservatism or the far right as a whole. Congress can constrain spending, but Trump retains substantial presidential authority, particularly over foreign policy.
NL Hafta 613 Snippet :Tear Gas in Arunachal, Backtracking on Ladakh: How India Treats Its Borderlands
Q: Are your experiences of the conversations or the deliberations you're having with the government any better? And could you just explain to our audience where we are, what it is that you're deliberating with them for, and what is your desired outcome?
Mustafa Haji says Ladakh had reached a consensus with the Home Ministry for a legislature and Article 371-type protections, but the Centre has since proposed a territorial council-type body that Ladakh rejected.
NL Hafta 613 Snippet :Tear Gas in Arunachal, Backtracking on Ladakh: How India Treats Its Borderlands
Q: What are the charges that they arrest these activists under?
Tongam Rina says authorities can bring what she describes as fake charges, and discusses the militarized response to people protesting against hydropower.
NL Hafta 612 Snippet : France vs CJP protests: Why the Comparison ‘Makes Absolutely No Sense’
Q: Could you attribute some of the violence to this far left politics and his party?
Rohan Venkat says the scale and visibility of the protests are notable, but situates them within a long French history of mass protest, including student movements and the Yellow Vest protests. He also describes coverage that blames minorities and immigrants.
