Thiruvananthapuram : Far right media houses should make a study of how Left came to power despite all the false stories they wove around it, said CPI(M) Politburo member Kodiyeri Balakrishnan. Media should become willing to do justice to facts, said Kodiyeri at the inaugural address of releasing Press Academy’s audio magazine.
There was conscious effort on side of media to keep under wraps the role played by communists in the country’s freedom. And they went to great lengths to portray CPI(M)’s celebration of the Independence day with their distorted points of view. Media are not acting in partisan manner. Everybody has their own set of interests. The right wing media worked hard to prevent LDF comeback. They should conduct a study to learn how the Left nevertheless returned to power. To regain lost credibility, the media should give up their blind anti-Left attitude and become willing to do justice to truth, said Kodiyeri.
