Recently Aam Aadmy Party has come under a lot of fire over Arvinds critisism of certain Media houses. Today we would like to highlight a case that will shed some light as to why we criticise some media houses. Today, March 19, 2014 Mumbai edition of Times of India newspaper carried a full front page advertisement of Mr. Narendra Modi. On checking the website of Times of India we found that a full front page advertisement in mumbai edition costs ₹ 7,464,600. Yes 74 lakhs. This figure can be verified from TOI website here. timesofindia.releasemyad/display-ad/times-of-india With such a huge amount of money coming from political parties can we expect media to report with integrity? A case study we can mention here is the recent reports by TOI on problems during Arvinds visit to Mumbai and Problems during Arun Jaitleys rally in Amritsar. Problems with our rally were described as Chaos and with BJP rally as Minor mishap. We condemn this biased reporting by Times of India group and believe that we all need to work towards bringing more transparency to the funding and revenue sources of Media Houses so that the rot in fourth pillar of democracy can be cleaned. Jai hind.
