General Elctions 2009: Navbharat Times

I have been closely following the election news from some news web sites like Navbharat times and also commenting on their articles as Dev, Singapore. What I find is that Indian media is biased and writes for a particular political party. I see some news articles with title which make me think about the declining standard of print media. How can a reporter quote a candidate from a specific political party as a donkey?

It's really sad to see the decline of one of the four pillars of Indian democracy. This particular news site gives breaking new like a "couple stuck in a kamasutra position" and generates cheap publicity. I am very much disappointed to see the poor condition of hindi print media. Being from Uttar Pradesh, hindi is my mother tongue and I read this hindi news site quite often. However, seeing the degradation of constructive reporting and poor editing, it has made me to switch back to English news sites.
