Rediff.com's Indrani Roy finds this on Mamata Banerjee FB page

"The run up to the current Lok Sabha election has manifested an alarming role of a major section of the media. The partial and biased conduct of a section of the media, both electronic and print, has shocked me.

"There's hardly any room for doubt that a few major cash loaded political parties have taken up control of media houses and engaged them to serve their narrow political interests, trampling down the ethics of democracy and voice of people.

"The brazen personal attacks, distortion of facts, character assassination and vilification in never before manner has stunned the nation.

"This state of affairs can be overcome only if we bring in electoral reforms and fulfill our long-pending demand of state funding for election expenditure.

"These steps are essential for the sake of democracy. If the current trend continues, then the future of our democracy will, no doubt, be at stake.I thought of sharing this with my brothers and sisters for ventilation of their voices."
