Magazine's Bias on Hero Again Revealed

One of the national magazines, which is  more popular for its various surveys has once again come up with one more silly survey. The magazine's latest edition( 30 April, 2013) has given the list of 100 influenced personalities of India. Mahesh Babu's name was included in the list from tollywood. No other hero's name was published by the magazine including Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, Jr.NTR, Prabhas etc. The name of the magazine starts with the word 'India'. Following are said to be the reasons for the magazine's strange 100 list.

* A youth politician, who has been in jail for some months, is gossiped to have been supporting this magazine financially.

* For better political mileage for the politician, the magazine has reportedly taken up the task of degrading the politician's rivals from the parties such as Congress, TDP etc. 

* Every now and then, the magazine spills venom on Chiranjeevi's political career and his moves. The magazine never ever gives importance to mega heroes such as, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun etc. and also other big heroes. 

* Strangely, there was no cover page article of biggest blockbuster 'Gabbar Singh'. However, we could see the cover page articles of ordinary super hits such as 'Eega' and others. 

* The magazine encourages Mahesh Babu quite a lot at times. Recently, the magazine released a special edition of Mahesh Babu's films and personal life. 

WHAT HAS THE MAGAZINE ACHIEVED SO FAR?: Nothing from politics and movies.Following are the instances. 

* The magazine criticized UPA government a lot before 2009 elections. However, it couldn't stop the victory of the party. 

* The magazine tried its best to sling mud on Narendra Modi during the last general elections in Gujarat. Finally,Modi emerged as the third time winner. 

WHERE CAN WE FIND MORE READERS OF THE MAGAZINE?: In libraries. Yes, many people prefer to read this magazine with free of cost in libraries. Book sellers say they return big numbers of books to the publishers every week which are not sold by them.  Even then, the magazine is surviving due to funding by some of the political parties and its wide range of network throughout India.
