Compare this to the Chennai media, which is _owned_ by the politicians.
Just observe the discrepancies reported by the various TV channels
during the election, especially the vote counting and results announcement.
The BBC is different from regular media - it is not funded by
advertisements or government funding. Thus, it doesn't have to adjust
its programs or coverage to suit its advertisors or politicians, it
can afford to be fiercely independent and fair.
