I told you so, way back on April 16. More than Results Day where the fortunes of Messrs NaMo, RaGa, AK, et al got known, it was yesterday, May 22, that was the Big Day for our news channels.

The viewership ratings from measurement agency TAM came in and as it happens, there were contradictory claims and counter claims. Both Aaj Tak and ABP News exclaimed that they were No 1. They may well be right. It’s all in the slicing and dicing of data, time bands etc. A glass half full can also be called as a glass half empty. Wink, wink.
