CNN-IBN can dance for the secular party

(click image for a larger version)

It is one thing to root for a political party, quite another when a leading news channel shows symptoms of puppy love towards one. 

Any bad news for the communal party must make Sagarika Ghose ecstatic enough that sometimes she does things for which she feels silly afterwards, like teens usually do. She quickly wrote a blogpost following Orissa CM Naveen Patnaik severing ties from NDA. The original version is still available on google cache (screenshot above).

Perhaps she later realized that saala is not exactly a flattering way to address a chief minister, no matter how endearing he appears to be in the heat of the moment. So an update followed

Pappu might have passed his political test, but CNN-IBN falls short of sobriety expected from a national news channel.

I haven't been watching Ghastarika on the idiot box for well over a year now, and my overall health situation has drastically improved. But curious: will they give her the ticket?

Sagarika Ghose is foremost of that breed of puffed up pseudo intellectuals who mistakenly overestimate their importance.
