Media Watch: Sakshi Cuts Down Vijaysai Reddy

Vijayasai Reddy called for a Pressmeet in Vishakapatnam to clarify the allegations that surfaced against him and lambasted some media channels.

While the Prime focus of the Pressmeet is to bash the media that telecast this news, Sai Reddy also attacked a section of leaders in his own party.

Towards the end, Vijayasai Reddy announced starting a News Channel very soon.

“Last time when I wanted to start a News Channel, Jagan did stop me. This time I am not going to stop,” Sai Reddy announced.

He also added that irrespective of his Political affiliation, his Channel will be neutral. It sounded like he was saying Sakshi failed.

Vijayasai Reddy launched a tirade against the Channels alleging that they are supporters of TDP and the community. He used foul language, particularly against Maha TV Vamsi. This is the most scathing Pressmeet by a YSRCP leader after the recent humiliating defeat.

Naturally, this should get extensive coverage in Sakshi but it is not the case.

This News was published in a tiny manner in the corner of the Tenth Page.

Also, there is no mention of Vijaysai Reddy planning to start a News Channel in the item.

In the Pressmeet, Sai Reddy announced that irrespective of his Political affiliation, his Channel will be neutral. It sounded like he was saying Sakshi failed.

Media Neutrality is a mirage in today‘s World. People will see Sai Reddy‘s channel as another YSR Congress channel. If he really starts a channel and if it makes an impression, it will only dent the popularity of Sakshi.

If that happens, it will only widen the rumored gap between Jagan and Sai Reddy. Probably, this act of downsizing Sai Reddy’s Pressmeet is an indication of things to come.
