Journalism at its worst
by PKN on Dec 18, 2007 09:50 PM

Every reasonabily managed party recognizes that the final outcome of an electoral battle cannot be predicted with cent percent accuracy. Someone somewhere within the party prepares some sort of response in case the party loses the election. Onkar would know that even the Congress party must be doing exactly the same as the BJP, making notes on the right things to say in case they lose.
What the media is doing is trying to do is create a wedge between BJP and Modi. And then explore the possiblity of breaking up the party and ensure that Modi even if he wins doesn't rule .
This is a subversion of the democratic process that no one in his right senses can accept from a free and responsible media.
Consider these points :
-Onkar Singh does not mention the BJP leader or leaders who is/are rehearsing the why-we-lost speech.
-He has tried to hint that Prakash Javdekar could possibly be the person .
Journalists such as Onkar are parasites who feed on readers gulliblity.
It may not be important in the long run whether Modi wins or loses but it is infinitely important that we as democracy ensure that such meaningless and baised journalism doesnot overturn the peoples verdict.
