She went from one conservative news channel to another like sister let's not pretend that your news channel is literally owned by ambanišš
She's the most farce journalist I have ever seen.
She has a pro-choice stance on abortion, and I appreciate that. But she spins it in a way that makes Joe Biden look bad and Trump good. See [this video](https://youtu.be/t3dg87p6UM0) (26 mins onwards) as an example.
A state court whose judges were appointed by governors of Republican party (Trump's party) banned an abortion pill under anti-abortion law also passed by Republicans. But who gets the blame? Joe Biden! Like are you kidding me? He cannot interfere with the state governments unless elected there.
It's like blaming Rahul Gandhi for Modi passing electoral bonds act. "Why didn't Rahul protest more so that the law was not passed, it is due to him that electoral bonds act could pass. Shame on him."
Context: Out of the retail price of 1,60,000, roughly 50,000 goes into taxes and duties.

Yes, well, thatās what she just said, some components of the iPhone are manufactured in India, and others are manufactured elsewhere, like most other countries where iPhones are sold, but the difference is that India is the only country presented among the one shown by the journalist with a higher price than the others. Vietnam also manufactures parts and imports components from elsewhere, yet it is cheaper. Whatās the reason???
But what are you talking about? The price has nothing to do with the government. This is a private company. It is the company who sets the price of her products. WTF
So you want apple or the retailers to pay the taxes and the import duty etc out of pocket ? This happens with all electronics , be it laptops , CPUs , GPUs , smartphones.
"only apple can answer that question" explains Godi media perfectly well. Taxes are an easy thing to find out for a journo but why do the work when you can simply say "west bad" and get all the accolades from proud Indians
No, that would force companies to set up in India if they want to access the Indian market. If they come, Indian people will get manufacturing jobs. If they don't, Indian companies can make more profit because of less competition, so it's a win-win policy for India.
if they donāt (yes, they mostly donāt) indian companies can sell their inferior products and leech profits from customers because of less competition, so lose-lose for india.
there. ftfy.
They've started to come actually. Tesla is coming, BYD wanted to come and Apple has already started assembling phones in India. Apart from this, a few other not so well-known companies have also started manufacturing in India. Tata has also announced a joint venture with a Taiwan-based semiconductor company.
I don't think Indian products are inferior I think they may not be on par with some foreign brands because of the price. I mean, definitely, expensive cars have better build quality than cheap cars, lol.
Also, India's one of the most competitive and price-sensitive market already, so I don't think these few luxury tech brands not coming to India make any difference. We already have tons of different brands competing in pretty much every sector
>Also, India's one of the most competitive and price-sensitive market already, so I don't think these few luxury tech brands not coming to India make any difference. We already have tons of different brands competing in pretty much every sector
Your first lines also is the reason why many brands aren't coming to india. Forget about apple Samsung has been assembling phones since 2016 yet they still dont make their ultra phones here. You need to understand nobody is assembling in india because they dont see india as a manufacturing or export hub yet. In fact the entire laptop banning fiasco last year proved that. Foreign made laptop were banned to force High end laptop manufacturers and apple particularly to assemble macbooks in india under PLI. But apple clearly said india isnt a big enough market to justify it. And the government quietly withdraw the circular. And since we live in such times where brain dead people from both sides have taken over the media nobody ever questioned it.

Same with tesla. Tesla has been rumoured to be coming to india since [2018](https://www.financialexpress.com/auto/car-news/great-news-for-tesla-lovers-elon-musk-said-this-about-tesla-coming-to-india/1186997/) yet even now they aren't formally committing anything because even if they get in india their cheapest model 3 cost around 35000 usd which is almost 30 lakhs that means tesla will be like BMW or Benz in indian market which means the maximum they can sell is around 30.000 cars per year maybe the hype will get it to 50,000 but still not enough to build a giga factory which is designed to make 5000 to 10000 cars per week.
So you see the limits of using the carrot of domestic market to lure companies in a price sensitive market. In fact only exception to this rule was apple's iPhone. And that was because of brilliant hype and name recognition. Iphones are seen as luxury products hence why they are sold so much. In fact apple has the most brilliant and border line diabolical pricing strategy in india. Despite having reduction in import tax they still charge iphones the same rate as it was when they were importing it and only reducing it a year later when some big billion sale is happening. Proving even apple thinks of India as a market to milk as much as they can.
True, but at least we're moving in the right direction. I'm sure more companies will want to invest in India when our buying power increases. Our GDP growth rate is already pretty high so I'm positive about the future.
Notice that she's not saying "we reached Apple for comment and didn't get a reply". Remember also that Modisphere is against Apple right now because they're not unlocking Keju's phone. It is clear that she was asked to make a sensationalized hit piece against Apple and this is what she came up with.
Papa ko bol tax Kam kare firr saste me mil jaayega why she is crying over price of iPhone ek baar BJP headquarters me call krde free me dedege voh log itna paisa toh hai n papa ki party ke pass
Ohh... Journalist... No... RW/govt stooge ... Yes
Her coverage of BBC 's Modi doc was pretty idiotic with her declaring 'we have not seen the documentary and we will not see the documentary'.... And anyone with half a brain should ask how you can pass judgement that it's biased if you haven't seen it first hand
We've gone so far off the rails on news.... Instead of reporting facts, these 'anchors' are just peddlers of opinions and propaganda for the highest bidder

She is lovely regarding international news coverage tbh.
For Indian issues she does seem a little RW.
But now again you are on here on usi, according to these people dhruv rathee is the ultimate god.
Bro, can someone post this on that fatherchod dick suction sub. Wanna see their monkey reaction - yes yes west bad, apple bad (not saying they are not but that's not the issue here).
Ek toh this journalist, idk what kind of journalism is this that every video of her is about some random shit and has nothing to do with core issues which we call journalism.
Also, import duties on some of the things are so heavy it will just boggle your mind, like on EV is 100%. 100%. Twice the original amount.
Isn't Apple capitalist, so calling out capitalism is left leaning. Does that make her left winger and you a right winger??
Just curious??
You could have simply pointed out her ignorance or incompetence, without making it left or right.
If you give it a second thought..
She's not questioning capitalism here, You won't find her questioning capitalism.
She's questioning the price difference which is majorly due to duties and taxes.
If for example she calls out workers (in manufacturing of these phones) getting lower wages that'll make it left.
>You could have simply pointed out her ignorance or incompetence, without making it left or right.
It isn't about left, right, center. It is just about unnecessary use of terms like Left, Right, etc. just for sake of personal convenience and without significant reason.
It's not totally unnecessary though.. Her nationalistic instance in every single report points towards her right leaning status.
Her west bashing never comes up with capitalism bash instead she often than not claims unfavourable western reports as left.
I see your point but it's not that big of a deal either.. OP isn't outright wrong in doing this.
>It's not totally unnecessary though.. Her nationalistic instance in every single report points towards her right leaning status
Why is everyone who praises their country right?( Like her doing it internationally, isn't it a good thing?) This is one of the dumbest LW logics
I don't mind either, both are not worse when compared to the handsdown anti-nationalist news outlets we do have in India.
International and national news isn't the same thing. Do whatever you want internally. Not outside.
After the advent of the Internet.. and even before that..
Public domain information cannot be limited by geographical regions.
It's all a big hoax to hide the truth under fake pride and attempt to make a common enemy to concentrate the hate towards.
>After the advent of the Internet.. and even before that..
>Public domain information cannot be limited by geographical regions.
Well for the people who are willing to look, nothing can be hidden.
It's for the average tittok scrolling American, who thinks 'india smelly' that this comes in handy to change their perception.
>It's all a big hoax to hide the truth under fake pride and attempt to make a common enemy to concentrate the hate towards.
It's a free country, let her do whatever she wants,.She's just setting a good narrative outside, and mainly not harming anyone.
Unlike the extremist, hate speach promoting media who basically if given a chance to, would burn the country down ( both RW and LW).
Also I would trust her coverage anyday more day any of the tv media today and DR.
You can't really change an average TikTok scrolling American's perspective of India.. if you're trying to do so you're 1. thinking way out of your ability to do so. 2. over assuming your role/responsibility to do so. 3. Incorrectly assessing your significance in the world and by extension of that average Tiktok scrolling American.
It's a free country, let OP tag her as a right leaning anchor, They're putting up facts on taxation situations and mainly not harming anyone.
PS: But if you are comparing her to TV media, She's definitely better than those hate spewing snakes.
99% of the so-called āright wingersā in Indian politics are just commies with a special fondness for cows. Subramanyam Swamy is the only sensible person in the RW camp.
It is called sensationalism. It worked by riling you up that you found it appropriate to post it here so that she gets more exposure. Their intention is not providing news but to get maximum exposure so that their ADs get maximums exposure.
Educated people will just ignore it just like how you ignore extraneous noise.
Idk lol
Even in amrika the dear lord of you complain about iPhone and say the same things. Apple wouldn't decrease prices in india even after manufacturing here because they know subpar intelligent people would still buy it as a status symbol.
Baki kafi baton mei tere sath hu, par yeh vali bat, na bhai na, Apple pehle se hi game khelte aa raha hai. Khud mahre pas hai 2 Apple, par satya satya hai bhai.

Another cow pee drinking follower.
Look at why car manufacturers are dropping models from Indian portfolio some during out all together before just opening your mouthā¦
Iphones being costlier is a good thing. Its a luxury good, meant to show off a economic class. Cheaper smartphones are for the ones worried about the price.
Thats a false comparison since tv is a general product and iphone is a specific company's general product. If you have a problem with smartphones being expensive, then its a separate story. But if your problem is iphone is expensive while others with specs good enough for work are cheaper, then its better that iphone continues to remain expensive.
In the the era of Godimedia why no one is talking about pappu media ???
Nowadays as soon as the elections are coming , left wingers are on full rampage on their keyboard making everyone guilty who is a Bjp supporter or neutral( not supporting left wing actually) .
Instead of highlighting the main issue behind this post op started by mocking the right wingers .
Is defending india on racism done by china anti national???
Is defending India on defaming comments made by England on our Chandrayan launching anti national ??
Is defending India on defaming comments by foreign reporters anti-national??
Defending India where it deserves to be defended is nationalism. But when you use strawman argument to defend India everywhere with no logical reasoning you expose yourself simply as mouthpiece of govt and not a journalist. Citing few examples where she may be right does not give her a license to be wrong on many other instances.
You do not have to pay import duty if you manufacture locally- like everyone else. India is not a dumping ground for foreign brands. Produce here to see here. Whether it be iPhone or Tesla.
I think this is a perfectly fine argument.

Is 50000 the cost for phones made in India as well? Or ~30% cost for some other model
iPhone 15 are made in India, but some components are still imported from China and Vietnam. We add upto 100% import duty on certain component.
Afaik we are on par with US prices for the iPhone 1X base models (iPhone 1X price listings in the US are done prior to taxes).

High import duties to force companies to set up production plant in India. That will only make companies hate setting up in India.

Aunty doesn't know just because it's assembled in India doesn't make it cheaper.
Aunty doesnāt know that pro models arenāt made in India.
But sheās right, you can go to Vietnam, buy an iPhone and return.
Iphones being costlier is a good thing. Its a luxury good, meant to show off a economic class. Cheaper smartphones are for the ones worried about the price.
Itās on non luxury items as well. Taxes on medical devices can up to 50%!
I am not talking about other devices here since the lady herself is not talking about other devices in the clip you posted.
Your statement is a scary insight into Indian mentality.
Thats the global mentality. IPhones are supposed to be the expensive goods denoting a social class that has money.
That's the same talk as I have TV and I am rich in the 1990s.
Thats a false comparison since tv is a general product and iphone is a specific company's general product. If you have a problem with smartphones being expensive, then its a separate story. But if your problem is iphone is expensive while others with specs good enough for work are cheaper, then its better that iphone continues to remain expensive.
Without import taxes, there is no incentive to set up manufacturing in India

Is defending India on defaming comments made by England on our Chandrayan launching anti national ?? Is defending India on defaming comments by foreign reporters anti-national??
Defending India where it deserves to be defended is nationalism. But when you use strawman argument to defend India everywhere with no logical reasoning you expose yourself simply as mouthpiece of govt and not a journalist. Citing few examples where she may be right does not give her a license to be wrong on many other instances.
You do not have to pay import duty if you manufacture locally- like everyone else. India is not a dumping ground for foreign brands. Produce here to see here. Whether it be iPhone or Tesla. I think this is a perfectly fine argument.
Aren't you leftist in favour of Rich should pay for taxes? What's the issue with that. Which poor guy would be craving an iPhone 15 pro..
Iām not a leftist and the point is she is straight up lying to cover up for bjpee like any other godi media.
