What's the most important qualification to run a news channel? The answer is simple. You should shed ethics, values and shame. You must be ready to give biased reports shamelessly.
It seems TV9 is following this basic rule. The channel failed to give an authentic coverage of Bengal genocide recently. A few years ago, the channel provoked a lady psycho to use cuss words on Janasen chief Power Star Pawan Kalyan.
Until casteist Ravi Prakash held the responsibilities as the CEO, TV9 was biased towards the TDP. As the ownership changed hands, TV9 turned out to be the supporter of the ruling YSRCP in AP and the ruling TRS in Telangana. Meanwhile, NTV also seems to have developed fondness for the YSRCP.
It is a known fact that YCP's rebel MP Raghurama Krishnam Raju was beaten by the CBCID of AP. The pics of his horrifying injuries on foot went viral on net and the news was widely covered by some media houses. However, TV9 and NTV didn't show those injuries. Instead, both the channels desperately tried to project the incident as a drama of RRR.
Hiding the facts, both the channels might have received 'Dabbu Sanchulu', guessed a critic.
