I have ALWAYS maintained that TC is a rogue site and their polls are rigged (according to whomsoever they are promoting.) I found this out when I voted once (in the beginning after joining IF) for Sanaya, and as they were allowing multiple voting, I did so. However, everytime I would vote one time, some other (who won by a gasping margin!) vote would go up by the thousands. Any other site would have crashed. Even if by some miraculous per-chance (even though I knew as we had pre-arranged to do the voting at the same time) there were more than one voter on line for Sanaya, her votes only went up by one. So I kinda made an observation and kept tabs for about 2 hrs. And that's when I knew. So I went to check out their site and read a few articles. It was pretty obvious that TC practices yellow journalism at the highest level. There is absolutely no credibility to their news, it is blatantly subjective and there is no factual clarity in their 'news.' If you can even call it that. (In fact, TC is a contributing factor in the fact that Indian Media outside of India has no credibility. Maybe in India, this kind of crap is considered newsworthy.)

Someone made a post to say that we should counter effect that and reply. But that would just be doing exactly what TC wants! As they say in the newsworld, any publicity is good, even negative publicity.

So, I just ignore everything about TC.

I don't even know why IF bothers about TC at all.
