Media Bias
by Krish Koundy on Dec 18, 2007 03:13 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

If the English Media says that BJP will get 100 seats-which actually means that the party will get more than 125 seats. There are many examples that demonstrate over drive of anti Modi campaign by English Media.
DNA Said-Modi was married and deserted his wife. All the evidence they have is a woman who said this obviously paid by the paper.
ToI says Modi wanted to give party ticket to DIG Vanjara-but presents no evidence to support the allegation. It is the same paper which cooked up Modis statement on Sohrabuddin.
Outlook said Modi made negative comments on Non Vegetarians a decade back-forgetting the fact that Modi himself is a non vegetarian and adapted vegetarian diet very recently.
NDTV conducted a discssion with Modi baitors just a day before the election to influence the voters.
CBB IBN ran a series of programs highlighting the vagaries of 2002 riot victims-but not a one on Godra train burning victims.

But people have given a big slap to these biased media by trehecting their propaganda.

Modi badmouths and abuses his political opponents liberally. But when asked about the DNA report, he claimed up, tongue tied and went pale just as he did when asked to comment on Keshabhai Patel. So why does he do this if there is no truth. Can't he for own self-respect put matters where it should be.

And is terrorism ceased to be an issue. Why after voting, Modi is silent? Will be open his mouth again about terrorism only in 2112?

HI Pop Head,

Firstly, accepted during Sikh riots, there was only doordarshan, but dont they have footages of that riots? If no, why? You must be knowing the answer.

Putting the wrong thing in limelight is not the bias. Bias is why only BJP is suffered from that????

Look at dalit riots in Mumbai recently. dalits were burning the train, buses and Police was doing nothing. In Gujarat in less then three days Military was on roads. Situation was quite under control in less than a week. I was there at the time of riots, so I can say. You people know what this biased media propagate only. Why there is no news of Godhara burning, but only riots after that. Do u have any answer?????

Biased media should be banned. even if we have democracy, bcz future of democracy is based on media, and media just cant telecast anything other then truth.

Bregds.

Perfect observation. In fact NDTV CNNIBN and AAjTak looked like some children made prepared to recite poetry for congress.
I was just stunned to see the way NDTV was flashing some documentary movies which no one wants to revisit or memorize, showing shamelessly just like any communist/congress agent.
There was no sense of constantly telecasting such shows just when election came there! Why don't they cover 1984 Sikh riots or Bhagalpur Riots????
Today's media has become political agents and ethicless. NDTV and CNN IBN must be in fact sued for the telecasts which they did and must be bycotted by public. They are yellow journalism channels who only show bad news about non-UPA led states even if all bad things happen in UPA led states!

Why they didn't cover 1984 Sikh riots or Bhagalpur Riots? Easy - We only had Doordhasan then and no private channels then.

India is a free country. Boycott any channel you want. Why put yourself to torture to watch an English News channel and complain about it? Pathetic you Jehadi Hindus. You and your Jehadi Muslims are made for each other!
