15 Savage Citizen Reactions to Media Coverage of the Elections
Here are 15 savage tweets joking about the media, its ‘expert analysis’ and its self-created echo chamber right now!
The results of the Lok Sabha elections are out.
Modi ji has won. And the Congress and the Mahagathbandhan have not quite lived up to the hype. But while it may look like only a haar jeet of parties and their fielded candidates, it seems as though some in the media have taken the result more personally than even some politicians.
And why not, when you discuss politics day in and day out and broadcast that information to millions of people, how will you not take it personally? But nobody said you could not joke about it!
Here are 15 savage tweets joking about the media, its ‘expert analysis’, its biases, and its self-created echo chamber right now!
1. RTs Aren’t Equal to Votes? Whaddya Saying!
Let’s be honest. Most of Twitter is an echo chamber and even though smartly crafted and provocative tweets get you hundreds and thousands of retweets and likes, they don’t necessarily alter voters’ opinions. Dear viral mediawallahs, it hurts, but is true!
2. Dance of Democracy, Literally!
Thanks to Arnab, we finally know what ‘dance of democracy’ really means!
3. Playing it Subtle?
Hold my Beer, says Indian Media
Well, at least they didn’t start bursting crackers in their expensive studios!
4. Family WhatsApp Groups > On Ground Reporting?
TBH, there is a point here. Why travel for miles when you can spot the NaMo wave right inside your house?
5. Lemon Ki Baat
Because politics is all about khatta-meetha moments!
6. Sigh! Between Rave Parties And Whine And Cheese
The audience has got some tough choices to make!
7. Taking Taxi Analysis With a ‘Liberal’ Pinch of Salt
Sigh. Believing taxi driver analysis any longer will be taxing to say the least.

Brace yourselves, more ‘tough’ questions from journalists (both full-time and part-time) are coming.
8. Navika Happiness Index at All Time High
Bhutanese people are clearly jealous of Navika right now.
9. End of a Great Show
Sigh, all shows must come to an end.
10. What Ad-Versity Looks Like
When the sales team is more happy than the editorial team.
11. GFX Creators Are the Real Winners
Here’s to all the GFX guys who pulled off crazy shifts and put their creativity to the max!
12. Guess, Who is Really Leading...
...the panel . That too, with 27 seats.
13. When That One Loud Person Enters the Metro Compartment
Because what are facts when not said in a screaming voice. Over others. In a condescending voice.
14. Aaj Dil Hai Sunny, Sunny...
We feel you Arnab.We really do.
15. And to the Media, The Most Important PSA
