The media war in Andhra Pradesh displays the ugly side these days. Everyone knows certain facts about corruption and the readers take only such facts and are not prepared to buy the lies of the media. The media has its own interest and own political affiliations and every news report published in the papers today is in tune with these interests.
The other day, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, gave a strong reply to Eenadu on the series of reports published by Eenadu against him. Two days later, today, Eenadu came out with its reply in Encounter.
Besides answering the questions raised by Jagan in his front page letter, the Eenadu’s Pencounter resorted to verbal abuse and tried to brand YS and Jagan as factionists, while projecting Eenadu and Ramoji Rao as the real democratic and saviours of Andhra Pradesh.
Be it criticism or counter criticism, the verbal use like “Mee edupedo meeru edavandi” does expose the ugly side of the war with growing irresistible opposition towards each other. As it appears, it is not the fight between Congress and the Mahakutami, it is going to be the fight between Congress and Ramoji Rao.
Time only will answer who will win in this murky battle. Let us watch in silence.
