The media has done an incredible service to itself by knocking down its own credibility at the behest of its chamcha editors and proprietors. The country is aghast at the exit poll results for the recent assembly elections, particularly UP. It's difficult to figure out how a large section of the media could have got the outcome of the UP Assembly polls so wrong. The misinformation was particularly glaring during the first phase of the polling. It was claimed by the media, pollsters and the satta market that the first phase of the campaign in western Uttar Pradesh had gone badly for the BJP. In fact, as it turned out, the BJP had its best performance in western Uttar Pradesh, the Jat heartland, with a successful strike rate of 88 per cent.
