Karunanidhi slams media for poll drubbing

DMK president said that media was running an “imaginary ghost haunting” campaign on the spectrum allocation scam
Chennai: Slamming the media for running a vilification campaign against his party, DMK president M. Karunanidhi on Friday said the media was running an “imaginary ghost haunting” campaign on the spectrum allocation scam which unseated the party from power in 2011 assembly elections despite its impressive performance.
Writing for his party organ Murasoli, Karunanidhi said, “The relentless campaign run by media and the high decibel hype it built around the 2G scam issue were borne out of sheer figment of imagination resulting in the party losing the election despite its impressive performance at office between 1996-2011.”
He accused a section of the media of bias against the party and its ideals and hence putting concerted efforts to defeat the DMK. He said despite her conviction, Jayalalithaa enjoyed the backing of media.
