The presenter was the leader of the stupid gathering. Presenter had no control over the speakers. He will keep talking non-sense.He always gave the biased impression.
Presenter needs to learn how to conduct interviews. Every one speaks at the same time. They will not allow panelisat to speak.
NDTV / Cnnibn faulted NDA / BJP for their loss by attributing the fact that both Advani and Modi attacked Manmohan as weak prime minister! They conveniently forgot that Manmohan / Sonia and Rahul like parrot repeated about kandhahar and godhra episodes in all their rally meetings. The retort of manmohan as weak prime minister was in response to their constant jibe on kandhahar and godhra. As the author has rightly pointed out, the oxford educated gentleman wants us to forget 1984 riots but remember babri / godhra / kandhahar. I am glad, i dont have such fancy degrees like our PM, which have not helped him in any way in asserting himself. Compared to him Lalu is any day preferrable, atleast he speaks out his mind and doesnt exude a holier than thou attitude! People will definitely rue 2004 and 2009 results in a decade as the misgovernance will be fully felt by then, like how US and World is feeling alan greenspans policies now! The most partisan reporting is that channels said BJP Lost because they didnt want a 80 year old prime minister as if Manmohan is far far behind!

"MMS is aweak PM" it is statement without any suport.Khandhar is a issue which describe how the situation was held by BJP.MMS has done best possible after 1984 riots but BJP has not donev any thing thing after Godhra. Some of people's in BJP feels proud and think that it was necessary to teach a lesson to a particular community.You may be knowing that people who were accused of riots are still in Modi's goverment and cogress has thrown them out.

"MMS has done best possible after 1984 riots" Tell this to MMS and he mite die laughing... u got vivid imaginaton... wht MMS did after riots..i dun think he cud pacify two fightin kids..leave alone handling riots...
.."and above all, huge waste of precious airtime..."
Wonderful insight into the nonsense that went on during the election with the climax of absurdness when the results came out... couldn't have agreed more !! Can't do much about it though...can we?
After all TV Channels or the electronic media has to exist through sensational news or yellow journalism. Political tamasha is also like a Reality show on their channel to earn maximum TRP ratting. ALL THE CHANNELS (NATIONAL AND LOCAL AIRED THEIR POLL RESULTS FORECAST WITH ANALYSIS ONLY TO BE PROVED WRONG)
rediff has for the first time given a true pciture about tv chnnel...ndtv, timesnow, cnnibn, needless to mention the hindi news channels have spoilt the decorum within media...govt need to get one bill to red tape these channels..what nonsense these exit polls were..
The author has written a very good article which most people are aware of and that explains the low turnout in the cities. 3rd and 4th front leaders were projected by the media channels as game changers - those wily leaders beleived the media and lost contact witht he people. they were eyeing seats not to represent people but to horse trade. luckily for india - the result and brought in recession for horse trading. there will be horse trading ofcourse but it at donkey prices.
Guess who is the saddest that the Congress got a clear majority>>. Its got to b the media channels..Imagine a hung house and the glee of all the channels having and making theories and conspiracy theories.. Were not theses channels the happiest when the war in Mumbai was on.. {26/11}

Do not queston. Just stop watching it. If millions stop watching it, its rating would down and ultimately close down. Why do you blame it and encourage it. There are better channels to watch. Atleast keep watching the DDNews, they may not give you colourful graphics but give you enough information to analyze on your own.
