elections in India

As general elections get near the fights are getting nastier. This is between the political parties and their lackeys and newspaper and TV channels.
The news media has their own favorites - it is basically business rivalry masquerading as high principle.
Recent incident in Managalore is one such incident.
Simple hooliganism (where few females & their friends were beaten up )which was stage managed in front of media was projected as atrocity, molestation, Talibantion etc etc.
This incident looks like it is a setup.
Whereas far greater incidents are simply papered over.
