There is a feeling that Modi didn't actaully beat the Congress Party but routed a coaliton of Print and Visual Media that had for reasons that are hard to fathom chosen to fight him in this election. The Tehalka sting was the first move by this media grouping. The preposterous allegations that this sting operations threw up could be beleived only by the likes of Teesta and Javed Aktar. Once this had failed every major element of the national media came in all guns firing. How then did Modi beat them ? Simply by revealing their bais so openly much of what was written was not beleived by the readers. 1. Vidya Subramunium reporting for Hindu claimed that Cops lifted her high up on thier shoulders to make a point that Soniaji's rally was better attended than those of their own CM Modi ? 2. With less than 24 hours to go for counting the same journalist came up with a more colorful story of policemen when asked of the crowds at Modi clsing rally ' used their fingers to suggest that it was zero' 2. For those less capable of creating such colorful fiction there was of course the last minute shifts in satte market favoring a simple majority for the Congress Party. Lest it be missed by the less alert reader it was headlined by IBN-CNN as " Bookies Trash Modi...." Modi won power in Gandhinagar and the media lost their credibility. Slowly readers/ viewers will realize that the media doesn't report the truth but what they want the reader to believe is the truth
