The main headlines for any paper after the Presidential election is just one. How can a newspaper get it 100% wrong? That too, 1,50,000 copies printed. 

The role of media in any presidential election is very important. Until recently the politicians believed the Newspapers and the TV cameras are the only window through which people can see them. Hence as the media evolved to different forms it took the politicians along with it to play along. Sometimes it said that is what the viewers wanted to see. Sometimes it gave the audience something new. 

This episode contains Chicago Tribune Debacle with Harry S. Truman and 1948  presidential election. 

The way Eisenhower first dabbled with TV advertisements for presidents and the Remington Rand company's Univac's introduction to media and politics. 

Why Navy blue became power suite and Grey suit became a thing of past? May be it has something to do with the Presidential debate of Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Nixon in 1960. 

Do give it a listen, if you found it interesting drop in a comment, spread the word. Your feedback means a lot. 

The world has a habit of getting into trouble every now and then. The worst of war atrocities happened in World War 2. So we believe. But there had been many instances where the war atrocities are happening and whatever happened during the WWII kinda dwarfs every other atrocity. Here in this episode we bring some of the concentration camps or re-education camps or intermittent camps or whatever the way a discrimination is justified today. 

In this episode, we see about Gulag, Boer War, American Civil War and Serbian - Bosnian War and the subsequent inhuman war crimes. What do they all have in common? Concentration camps.

We should learn from history, because history repeats again. And we should be aware to not make the same mistakes again. 

In History there are numerous instances where a small thing had caused a big impact. In this episode, we will see how a pie created a fire which raged London for four days and similarities of the event with current Covid Management, A word uttered off field changing the course of the match in 1933 as well as 2007 and how a man who was trying to tally the account for 75 cents stumbled upon a hacker looking for nuclear secrets. 

The episode is in Tamil and hope you will enjoy this Tanglish content I am putting out.
