I think both owns the Media and both are the member of congress Party.
Congress is ruling by the Christian president Sonia Gandhi(Antiano Maino) and Rahul Gandhi(Raul Gandhi as par nomination in Election form)
Thats the reasion all media is so negative and anti hindu, anti BJP.

If any one take the name of LORD RAM then this media declare that man as communal. Now may its our turn, if we visit the temple then also we are communal.

i want 2 clear u onethg that dnt combine politics and religion togetheras they both r separate entities must be treated separately always..if they both conflict each other or if one is induldging in other wil lead to confusion and misguide us........



but both r for the peoples........

to says clearly that politics r for external one that is giving equal rights and money and treating everyone equally to make their status higher in all respect which r external and can be seen and experienced externally...



but religeous thgs r internal ones mostly spiritually done which is used to boost ur mind and heart.........



my answer is dnt compare r treat science and religion together....as they r 2 diff thgs.....



therefore...in order to bring india a super power vote 4 BJP and giv a chance to BJP as we hav given 60 yrs to communal congress(divide and rule) who not only supports indian muslims but muslims as whole including pakistani terrist muslim like mohd..ajmal kasab who is going to be released soon by cong if they come into power again..so true indians including muslims ,christians and hindus beware of cong what it is doing and what it is going to do for terrist muslim is not good for our country.......



advani ...bcoz he is a bold and iron man and a lion like speeches...and advani is a senior obama.



1).he is the only leader in india who announced common civil law for indians where there is no diff bet.hindu, muslim,christian all r equal before that law.....



2). he announced a project for linking rivers ganga and cauvery it is like linking north and south to avoid flood in north and draught in south



3) he setup a commity for reservations based on economics not based on any caste then only we can truly identify rich and poor so that poors can get concessions irrespective of caste



4).he is 100% against terrist of any form and he wont hav any friendly relationship with pakistan till they leave the terrism 100%....(this boycott is bcoz of terrism by pakistanis and not for their religion....since terrism dnt hav any religion but terrist hav religion)



5) he alone can make india a super power



6) he strictly implements cultures for hindus, muslims and christian



7) he only can strengthen india bcoz he is born in india and he is a true indian



8) he will take his own decision which is acceptable by all indians and then he discusses with the concerned person and then he implements.



9) he will punish some people who tries to act as indian and who tries to creates religeous partitions in india by giving concession and reservation only to certain religion and caste and sub caste and leaving other peoples who also suffers



10) he also gives importance to majority people who r also suffering which was hidden and wantedly omitted by most of d politicians for d past 60 yrs....





11) he always thinks and takes actions as indians and not by telling religion



12) he only says everyone is equal before law and there wil be no diff shown to muslims, christian r hindu whoever did mistake has to be punished.



13) he has broad mind that everyone has to be improved as indian and not by religion ..bcoz now a days in indian other than hindus are enjoying benefits and it is totally denied for hindus...



14) he only says hindus are also indians like muslims and christians



15) he only says hindus have to be equally treated like muslims and christians



16) he only announced social security card to identify each individual uniquely and it is centralised using system and accessed from anywhere anytime in india so that fake vote can be stopped and it can be used as multipurpose card to get loans, credits,etc., like U.S



17) only born indians can eligible for vote so that pakistani terrist and bangladeshi terrist and any terrist can be easily identified and repatriates cannot vote.



18) he is the only indian leader annnounced that he wil bring the black money within 100 days from swiss bank kept by indians which is estimated as 72 lakhs crore rupees which is more than enough to become a super power.



19) he only says india is the only country in the world where hindus are majority and like any other country in the world the majority of country should also be given importance....it is common everywhere...



20) he only says there is no need for any reservation bcoz anyone can comeup in life without reservation provided they hav enough knowledge like Abdul kalam....bcoz reservation spoils the country and leads to quality less services and leads to corruption and bribes....



21) indians should be ruled by born indians and not by foreigners like sonia(divide and rule)....



22) BJP only truely support muslims....BJP should be in power bcoz Congress, lalu,mulayam,mayawati,paswan,& shibu shoren is danger for nation. BJP supported to mr. kalam for president election,who is muslim, but UPA opposed mr.kalam, WHY? IS THIS SECCULARISM? THINK,THINK,THINK.............

OK. I can understand you are a hardcore BJP supporter, & you are disgusted over India media as they are largely against BJP's radical 'hindutva' issue.



In the constitution it is nowhere written that a Christian can't be PM of India. If you think that only Hindus should occupy the highest posts, then you you are no different from those radical Islamists.



You may question about Sonia for her being Italian, but if Indian decedents can reach to the top posts in different countries of the world, why an Italian decedent can't ?



Now some infos about some well-known Indian news channels -



Aaj Tak & Headlines today are run by TV Today Network, which is largely owned by the Arun Purie controlled Living Media Inc.

Times Now is a joint-venture of Bennett, Coleman and Co, the publishers of The Times of India and Reuters.Chintamani Rao is currently the head of the network.

CNN-IBN is a partnership between Global Broadcast News (GBN) and Turner International (Turner) in India (a Division of Time Warner). Rajdeep Sardesai is the Editor-in-Chief of the network.

Zee News Ltd (ZNL) is a part of Essel Group which operates news and regional entertainment channels.It was demerged from Zee Entertainment Enterprises ltd in 2006.

STAR News is the Hindi language entertainment channel of STAR TV which is an Asian TV service owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

Sahara Samay is owned by Sahara India Pariwar, whose head is Subrata Roy.



And before blaming media for defaming Ram, look who actually misused Ram - the Hindutva force. They used His name during Riots, during destroying Babri Masjid, during assaulting ppl in the name of social monitoring.

A nice thing you did to collect all such vital information in one place. Of course you missed some minor players who are owned by petty players, like Sahara Group which supports Mulla-yam-Singh-Yadav. I hear that Big B is interested in launching a media house of his own. One can only wonder in whose favor is he going to weave? Won't it be an extended arm of Mulla-yam?

Muslims own some of the media but majority of it is held by secular Hindus who see many aspects of Hinduism as backwards. The reason they are not critical of Islam is because that isnt Politically Correct.



Sonia dousnt own the media, her power is rather limited

bashing sonia gandhi just because she is a christian is not fair . she is not that religious .

and there is zee news , owned by subhash chandra ,a bjp supporter .

as for regional channels , many of them are owned by bjp supporters .

ndtv 's owner is cpi(m) secretary prakash karat's relative. and it is anti-congress .



as for lord ram , some people are involved in anti-social activities in his name (beating up women just because they went to pub is condemnable. as per the law those women didnt do anything wrong). how can you support that . and bjp is only interested in using ram's name to get votes . if it comes to power , it will again forget him .

look what happened last time . bjp was in power for 6 years but ignored the ram temple issue . that is one of the reasons why it lost .
