Who really owns Indian Media?
Posted on March 28th, 2013

India with 1.2billion population of whom 82% are Hindus may be unaware of who owns and controls its media in the worldƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s largest democracy. Hindu India will be surprised to what extent since the open economy and despite laws in place its media is controlled by non-Hindus and the Church while Hindus are content being mesmerized with Bollywood or watching the Mahabharata on television. In establishing the ownership it is not too difficult to understand why people are castrated as ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-racistƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-extremistƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-communalƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ and why political correctness is creating nightmares all over India.

Let us look at some of these Media Agencies in India.

  • ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚·ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  NDTV ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” is said to be one of the most popular tv news media but it is run by Spanish based Gospel of Charity. The same Charity is supporting Musharaff of Pakistan and also controls the newspaper INDIA TODAY. There are also allegations against NDTV bias related to the 2002 Gujarat riots accusing NDTV famous lady anchor and another said to have been given $5m by Saudis to cover only Muslim victims and Hindu families were not interviewed or shown on NDTV.
  • ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚·ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Then there is CNN-IBN which is fully funded by the Southern Baptist Church in USA. The Church annually allocates $800 million (about 4000 crores) for promotion of its channel while IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s National parties (Cong, BJP) are said to spend about 600-700 crores in a general election. This channel coined the term ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Hindu terrorismƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ / ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Hindu bombsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
  • The Times Group companies comprise of : Times Of India, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Stardust, Femina, Vijay Times, Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many moreƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦(print and electronic) Yet the Times Group too is owned by Bennet & Coleman. ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”World Christian Council does 80% of the funding, and an Englishman and an Italian equally share balance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo is a close relative of Sonia Gandhi. The Times Group has also bought over Hindustan Times and has control over several other newspapers of the group.

There are surprising connections in family too (no different from Sri Lanka) ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” http://newindian.activeboard.com/t35010159/media-are-churchs-tools-to-cheat-indian-people/

    Who owns SL media?

    SAME PEOPLE!

    1 Run-nil and family (half the newspapers, one radio station, one TV station).
    2 Indian Mahajaraa (more than half the TV and radio stations)
    3 LTTE (Uthayan and some other newspapers)
    4 Lasantha’s family
    5 Duminda Silva’s family

    What a double tragedy!

  2. gdesilva Says:

    No surprises here…in fact, all US media outlets are owned by just 4 corporations. The super rich minority of this world has the ownership of media which tell the rest of us what to believe and how to act.

    What is surprising, however, is that majority of ordinary people in this world still believe whatever garbage that is dished out by the so-called ‘free media’. That is why the outlets like the Sewer Canal 4 still exist.

  3. Ratanapala Says:

    Democracy is a myth. Universal Human Rights are a myth and the so called Free Media is a myth. People all over the world are duped on these three mantras. Only a very few know that all these ideals and idealistic institutions are there to serve the interests of the Christian West and the Christian Church. Democracy is there to keep us divided. Human RIghts constitute the stick and ‘Free Media’ is there to subvert public opinion. However there are so called educated Sinhala Buddhist idiots who still believe in them and ready defend these ‘ideals’ thinking thinking they are the epitome of freedom. Where is the freedom when they are all controlled by vested interests inimical of the continued existence of Sri Lanka as a political entity?

    In Sri Lanka too all the major news media are in the hands of the local Christians or their surrogates. These include not so apparent Lakehouse and Island newspapers. Their agendas are identical with those of the Christian West. Whenever Sinhala Buddhists take any action against injustice they are immediately branded as extremists.

    Usual ploy is for the local Christians or Islamists carry out a deed that provokes the Buddhists. When the Buddhist come out and protest they are castigated as either ‘hardliners’ or ‘extremists’. Majority of the Sinhala Buddhists take whatever thrown at them including down right abuse lying down and in silence.

    We expected the JHU to empower the downtrodden Sinhala Buddhists; they seems to be too busy and not having time to attend to what they set out to do in the first place. Perhaps Bodu Bala Sena is the solution to educate the masses and get them organised as a political force. Otherwise the hard won peace in Sri Lanka is in peril.

    The duty of the nation including those in power is to uphold, foster and maintain for the foreseeable the entity now called Sri Lanka. Our forefathers did that for us and we are here today still as a single political and geographical entity. Our duty is to carry on that noble task so that our progeny can inherit this 2500 year old legacy.

    The UPFA, the President, his siblings must understand that they can have a place in the history of Sri Lanka only if they uphold and safeguard the territorial integrity of Sri Lanka. They are not going to be there forever. It is their bounden duty to put in place a system that will out last their time in power. Sri Lanka now has the rare opportunity where the government in power can wield 2/3 majority in Parliament. This is the time to get rid of the indian imposed 13the Amendments and any variants thereof.

    Let us take a lesson from what happened to Hugo Chavez. However well intentioned he was for the welfare of his nation and those of South America he did not last. Who knows what happened to him ! Similar things can happen to our leaders too. It is up to our current leaders to understand the dangers to Sri Lanka and take suitable action now without leaving the fate of our nation for the likes of Christian Ranil &Co to handle. The Christian UNP and the Christian Ranil & Co are a nonentity now. They could become somebody tomorrow through a Christian West engineered Sri Lanka Spring!

    Time for action is now! It is now or never!

    One correction.
    Star TV INdia is owned by Rupert Murdoch (not Robert) who is a Jew. He is not Australian but American now and remember he was in trouble in UK after getting caught tapping phones. He is a very powerful world figure, many politicans of number of countries in his pocket.
