The actions of Indian media during Gujarat elections are a shocking eye-opener.
How many of us knew that Himachal had elections last week?
Not a single news channel or newspaper found the time to report on the elections in Himachal. They were all busy attacking Modi.
Anchors of news channels like Aaj Tak, Zee, Star and CNN-IBN did not even bother to hide their frustration on Modi's victory.
The rude anchors took out all their anger on BJP representatives like Siddhu and Ravi Shankar Prasad. Their blatant display of prejudice was shameful.
I watched the so-called political analysis on these channels for 4 hours to see how the media would handle its defeat. It was a painful experience to see half-assed anchors pretending to be analysts.
The poor fellows took Congress defeat personally. Their raw emotion of these immature anchors was comical and became ridiculous as time passed.
Congress speakers like Singhvi and Shakeel Ahmed were allowed to give long speeches and foolish explanations about the crushing defeat. But whenever a BJP representative would start speaking, a break would be announced.
At around 9:20 pm on the Aaj Tak discussion, when Siddhu finally got a chance to speak, the anchor got impatient and announce ANOTHER BREAK! This was within 3 MINUTES of the PREVIOUS BREAK.
Now congress will demand a refund from the news channels. And no Christmas Bonus from Soniaji.

Let us stop watching all these biased TV channels from today. If all of us become united and boycott them and resolve not to buy any stuff that is advertised in their channels they will get the message

Oh come on friends, why will the electronic media report on himachal, they know as well as the congress CM virbhadra singh who has said he will not resign even if defeated which shows clearly that in himachal congress has already lost, their only fictional hope was on gujarat based on the media created hysteria about dissidence and having failed in gujarat they couldnt stomach it. Thanks to internet we have sufficient sources of information to make informed decisions for ourselves and not be forced to believe by these tv guys.
