		<description>Media in india is totally biased and is not worth watching a single minute. They tend to misrepesent every single incident and fact. I am from AP and after 2004 several channels have comeup with the slogan of better society ,responsible reporting etc etc blaming that the then existing ETV is biased to the then ruling TDP. But only within one year of their existence these people from middle class backgrounds working tasted power and money and luxury and soon turned to stogepegions and toadies. Now after five years of their existence there are almost nine to 12 of them. where as five get most of the TRP viewings. But viewers feel ETV about which we complained as being biased now looks much fair than these out and out toady chanels.
Sakshi TV is owned by son of Congress CM so u can guess what to expect
But NTV and TV9 , in their greediness for lands and contracts have become bigger toadies of congress. Quite of a few of the important people at these channels are said to ahve amassed close to 50 to 100 crores each. Sometimes Saskhi channel looks like more fairer than these two channels. So one can simply see how biased these channels have become. In fact Tv5 is pro TDP but it cant be so baised i think bcuz congres is in power and they dont want trouble.

Now it seems ETV and ETV2 are more fair and unbiased in reporting than all these biased channels like TV9, NTV, TV5, a to z tvs.

I think all concerned people should fight for the establishment of an independent authority to put a check on the illegal ways and means of these media people.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, the news channels have to take a view. If they simply give dry facts they cannot market themselves. 

Moreover, a news channel is not just a medium of information. It is a medium of expressing one&#039;s opinion. It does not have to be stated explicitly. It is a known fact. 

Think of how many freedom fighters had their own newspapers started to propagate their ideas. And were they not biased. They had ideas which forwarded only the Indian struggle for independence. Even if one was to start a fact-only-news-hour as you say, news channels would give only those facts which forward their ideas. 

It is neither possible nor desirable to censor news items in a democracy like India.</description>

		<description>great work msr.just my view.

india has a fundamental right to know evms are tamper proof.all upa ruled states escaped anti-incumbency.congress has done so much cheating for power before eg jharkand goa bihar governors,abusing cbi,cah for vote in parliament.

they chose cec and prez specially for 2009 and the other 2 ecs are typical babus with one being a communal muslim  which most muslims are.

upa cms can easily collude with ec guys</description>

		<description>Guys bit ot.
 
there must have been a heavy manipulation by The congress in elections, for example if you look at AP results congress got around 158 seats in AP Assemebly which is around 10 more than required  majority of 148, but when it comes to Loksabha seats it is a complete sweep by the Congress which got more than 30 seats.
if people are so much liked the Congress party how come they didn&#039;t vote for a complete sweep for Congress.

and also if you look at some of the seats lost by the Congress party in AP, the PCC president D.Srinivas who is not in good terms with CM YSR Reddy lost the election, it is same with most of the state&#039;s ministers, YSR ensured that most of the misters from Telangana area to lose the elections.

so Swapanda the first issue to be raised by every one is election manipulation of Congress party which is closley aligned with election along with media support.</description>

		<description>The need of the hour is honesty of the media- more important than neutrality. Unfortunately, all media programmes (whether 

news or discussion or any other,) are just advertisements. 

(i) Openly (or honestly) media can tell the viewers who has shown interest in flashing every programme. In other words, 

finacier of the programme may be revealed.

(ii) Govts can ban a channel from flashing a particular type of programme, if the channel has shown poor performance in a 

specific type of programme. For example, a channel which has predicted election results with very poor accuracy must 

bedisallowed conducting/ flashing such programme.

(iii) A channel or paper, if found flashig lies/ incorrect information in news bulletin, must immediately banned from 

telecasting / publishing news. Those channels/ papers should be allowed to continue as entertainment media only.

(iv) Media personnel must be fixed a minimum qualification so that they are sufficiently intelligent knowledged and 

disciplined. At present most of the news and media men are school drop-outs holding some certificate or degree from 

unrecognised institutions.

(v) Government should moniter if pressmen are adequately qualified. Government should designate accreditted pressmen even 

before they are employed in media and insist that only accreditted pressmen should be employed as media persons etc. For this 

monitering, a centralised organisation like UGC/ AICTE/ AMC etc who check the quality of educational inastitutions, even if 

they are self-financed.

A tail piece: Just couple of days back some media have &quot;invented&quot; that admissions are done in self-financed institutions 

purely on the basis of capitation fees. Now only media came to know admission is auctioned like tea-auction or being sold 

like banana in a petty shop!

Oh Lord! Let my country awake!</description>

The SIT also found no truth in the following incidents widely publicised by the NGOs: 

* A pregnant Muslim woman Kausar Banu was gangraped by a mob, who then gouged out the foetus with sharp weapons 

* Dumping of dead bodies into a well by rioteers at Naroda Patiya 

* Police botching up investigation into the killing of British nationals, who were on a visit to Gujarat and unfortunately got caught in the riots.

		<description>toi headline reads advani blames gujarat results.this is what advani actually said.(see how media spins lies to attack modi in this case).

Speaking about the party&#039;s poor show, Advani said, &quot;We have to find out why our performance was poor in states like Rajasthan, UP, Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Orissa. We also have to find out why we won less than the expected number of seats in states such as Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.&quot; 


24-7 el MEDIA is plotting against bjp and favoring congress while posing as media,when they are congress and islamic propagandists and frauding gullibles.eg they linked ramsene to bjp even if rs was contesting elections against bjp.there are thousands of such examples in last 20 years.they blame modi for gujarat when thousands of riots have taken place under congress.So also they blamed bjp for kandahar and  created family pressure on tv when congress agreed with bjp at the time to save lives.but in 26-11 they blamed all politicians and dragged in bjp&#039;s naqvi for an accurate lipstick comment on page-3 socialites like mediabarkha dutt friend shobha de as if 26-11 was caused by that naqvi comment.

		<description>Hi All,
     Its absolutely true that CNN-IBN and NDTV channels are Christian based and the whole channels get their fund from foreign Christian trust and their main job is to suppress the growth of BJP in India and pave the way for congress to form the government, so that the Christians organization convert the Hindus into Christians with out any problem.. Its very interesting in the NDTV or CNN IBN, they call Kabil sibil for Congress and a unknown person from BJP for a debate on any issues. And Obviously the BJP person cant defend to their Skills. And if Advani calls for any debate, our so called PM Dr.Singh wont accept and come for debate.. Very pathetic... And I will assure if this continue India will be definitely a developing country in the upcoming years also. Wont be Super power at any cost..</description>

     Its absolutely true that CNN-IBN and NDTV channels are Christian based and the whole channels get their fund from foreign Christian trust and their main job is to suppress the growth of BJP in India and pave the way for congress to form the government, so that the Christians organization convert the Hindus into Christians with out any problem.. Its very interesting in the NDTV or CNN IBN, they call Kabil sibil for Congress and a unknown person from BJP for a debate on any issues. And Obviously the BJP person cant defend to their Skills. And if Advani calls for any debate, our so called PM Dr.Singh wont accept and come for debate.. Very pathetic&#8230; And I will assure if this continue India will be definitely a developing country in the upcoming years also. Wont be Super power at any cost..</p>

		<description>When NDA Was in Power, RSS Should Have Launched A News Channel in English, Hindi and Also In Regional Languages such as : Marathi,Bengali,Telugu,Tamil,Kannada,Gujarati,Orissa,
Malayalam, Assamese, Punjab,Kashmiri(in Jammu Region)
And Also, Region Specific News Channels in Hindi Speaking Areas Like News Channels specifically for UP &amp; Uttaranchal,Bihar,MP,Chattisgarh,Rajasthan,Haryana &amp; HP,Delhi

I seriously Dont understand Why RSS Didnt took That Initiative. Such Channels would have Exposed the true Nature of Evangelicals and Jehadis, Psuedo Secularists which are Extremely Fascist in Their Ideology.</description>

Calm yourself.  In no way am I condoning the media behaviour.  And you are right about the media being extremely partisan (whether it is because of vested interests, or because of external pressure is immaterial).  But there is the fact that there is nothing preventing the BJP from having its own TV channel.  They could go out and play the same game the Congress is playing.  The BJP is not being pro-active enough in countering the Congress&#039; propaganda and that is the main fault of the BJP.</description>

		<description>@Smitha,
     In a way, I think you are right.  The BJP did begin with better standards than the Congress, the Communists, and the other Socialist parties, and they were not shy of exhibiting their superiority.  However, the media did go out of the way to batter Hindutva and other Indic values (bashing Indic values is in the name of `progressive values&#039;).  The painful irony of the BJP&#039;s better behaviour is that Congress indulging in atrocious behaviour is condoned because it is `the Congress way&#039;, but any deviation by the BJP is portrayed in the worst light.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately for BJP, it is a self-inflicted injury. They claim to be a party with difference, and hence media wanted the party to play by it&#039;s rules, what an irony!</description>
