After the resounding victory of Narendra Modi, the English news channels need to do some soul searching. Their evident bias is now telling.
The more they aired Anti-Modi shows the more Hindus voted for Modi.The margin would have surely been much lesser but leeches like Rajdeep Sardesai, Barkha Dutt, Praful Bidwai(Where's he gone from Rediff) goaded people to come out and support Modi.
In contrast to the English TV channels I found Hindi channels much better.Star News with M.J.Akbar was quite balanced and in the evening I saw probably the best show on Sahara Samay(with Punya Prasun Bajpeyi - one of the better anchors). It was a discussion with Lord Meghnad Desai(He predicted Modi will be PM after the next to next General Election) to which noted sociologist Ashish Nandi said he'll prefer to die before Modi becomes PM. Their difference of opinion was obvious yet the show was very refreshing.

Well said!
I think it is better for BJP if the channels continue in this manner!!
If there is any ethics, the channels should sack their anchors for their 'participation' in trying to form an opinion based on falsehood, even when their own exit poll research data was proving a re-sounding win for Modi.
