The existing NaMo wave is 5% reality, and 95% of it is same as the Anna\AK wave we had seen in apr-2011 , aug-2011, aug-2012, oct-2013 etc.
.
'A few weeks back, some ALL 50+ news channels were showing NaMo;s pre-recorded interview at the same time, and no ad came in the middle. Such synching across all news channels is NOT possible unless channels owners were directly ordered by MNC-owners to do such synching, And each channel charges 5 times the normal paid-interview charges for such "all channels show same interview" event.
.
Universal show is when all channels of a genre show same event. This is done to FORCE user to watch that show. No matter how many times he changes channels, he will see the same event. And so TV-viewer will give up the idea of changing the channel and start watching it like a tame dog, And constant exposure to same will make him like the event !!!
.
This can be organic if event is some live cricket match etc,. But if a pre-recorded interview has to be shown on all channels at same time, then it cannot be organic and has to be planned and huge money has to be paid, and it requires direct orders from channels' owners and super-owners. And if interview is of huge political importance, then price is very very huge.
.
Money alone cant buy such coverage. IOne has to cut a huge quid-pro-quo deal with channels owners and super-owners.
.
This has happened before in India. In apr-2011, MNC-owners paid all channels to show Anna\AK , Anna]AK and Anna\AK and nothing else, and so Anna\AK became huge hit. And then in aug-2011 too, MNC-owners and Missionaries paid hige money to show Anna\AK, Anna\AK , Anna\AK and nothing else. And so again, Anna\AK became hige superhero, And then we saw same in sep-2013 to nov-2013, where MNC-owners shows AK to the extent that he became superman.
.
In case of NaMo , there is 5% reality. eg Gujarat has better electricity, less corrupt admin etc.But the FACT that paid-media didnt ask question to NaMo on Kashi Vishvanath Devalaya, census-2011, Reliance gas price increase, failing municipal schools in ahmedabad, Krishna Janambhoomi, BJP's unkept promises to expel Bangladeshi in 1996/1998 etc shows that paid-media was paid NOT to ask these questions. And this was done to ensure that NaMo doesnt look bad. BJP doesnt have such control over media. Only MNC-owners have such control over media. So why are MNC-owners helping NaMo? its not hard to see why --- NaMo is silent on Mauritus route, NaMo has also convinced Swami Ramdevji to drop Mauritius route issue, NaMo is silent on revoking tax benefits to SEZ , NaMo agreed WTO's demand of GST, NaMo agreed on FDI on everything except multi-brand retail and so forth.IOW, NaMo agreed with almost all demands of MNC-owners and in return,, MNC-owners have him royal media coverage, and also reduced coverage of AK.
.
Now I have utter disrespect for anyone and everyone who takes help of MNC-owned mediamen. The biggest reason I hate Anna\AK has been that he colluded with MNC-owned paid-media to peddle this useless Janlokpal. NaMo shouldnt have colluded with foreign-owned mediamen. Taking OFFICIALLY paid advt is ok, and even paid news is pardonable. But taking strategic help from MNC-owned paid-media is a disreputable move.

Solution I propose is that activists should work to bring Right to Recall Doordarshan Chairman in India. This will create a media that will weaken the hold of MNC-owned mediamen.
