They are spreading panic and superstition in society. The Ram Sethu was one example of their sensationalisation and inciting the masses. Priya Ranjan Das Munshi must pass the broadcast bill immediately so TV channels
1) do not show same stories again and again 2) do not show any program which is agains constitutional requirement to promote secularism 3) TV will not allow anyone opposed to secularism to come on TV 4) TV will abide with government guidelines which issues related to religion or caste come up in public domain Most English channels abide by the above code - but Hindi channels promote superstition and are anti-secular . They incite masses to get higher TRPs. I watch both Hindi and English channels and this observation can be certified.
Priya Ranjan - please wake up before it is too late. The recent case of Hindi channel making a fake sting is just tip of the iceberg.

Most Enlish channels and some Hindi channels are owned by foreigners (including one by Al Jajeera)Naturally they are all Anti-Hindu.

English channels are fair and balanced. Unfortunately even the sister channel of CNNIBN - IBNLive is really bad because they have to compete with pathetically right wing and biased Channels like Star News , Aj Tak , Zee News etc . The ownership details put in by some joker is all hogwash and utter crap - all channels have Indian editorial and news staff

IBN-CNN receives much of its funding from Christian Baptist organizations in the USA. Hence, their coverage tends to be more negative when it comes to Hindu issues. The CNN tends to be blatantly pro-christian, especially its special reports from around the world. Their counterpart IBN in India does basically what the CNN tells them to do - otherwise, no money.
