Tera "emotional" atyachaar

Funding of news media by Political parties:
Recently Congress admitted it had given a Rs. 90-crore interest-free loan to Associated Journals Limited (AJL) to help it revive the now-defunct National Herald


Congress further saidThe party came to the aid of the newspaper for “emotional reasons” 


If it is legal for a newspaper to source funding from political parties.Let us trash the concept of "independent media" and have an ipl like auction for all media publishing houses with political parties bidding (Prior Experience of horse trading would come in handy).

We can read the Views News according to  the political parties we like. Thus "Molestation of women in pub" (Remember Shri Ram Sene attacks) can be covered by Shri Ram Sene as "Government launches moral reforms, volunteers make handy contributions" While Samajwadi Party can cover it from a philosophical angle of  "IT Companies and Computers driving women folk to drink, ruining the nation". Attack on Prashant Bhushan can be covered by somebody as "Pakistani Operative foiled from speaking".

One thing for sure, It would generate humongous returns for the shareholders of media publishing houses. Country be damned!
