Supreme Court yesterday asked govt to take action against fake news during Corona pandemic.

Propaganda peddlers are making it issue of free speech.

A thread on how Media/Journalists spread fake news to create panic.
SC said Media spread Fake News that Lockdown will be extended for 3 months, which created panic in Migrant workers and they started leaving the cities.

Do you know who spread this?

Rajdeep Sardesai. He deleted it after making lakhs of poor people suffer bcz of this Fake News.
Shekhar Gupta's The Print spread Fake News that Lockdown will be extended.

Media houses are putting up such Fake stories only to create panic so that people suffer and they can use it to attack govt.

But if you question them, they will cry freedom of expression
NDTV said India will hv 25 crore Corona cases. John Hopkins University said the report in their name is fake. NDTV deleted it after outrage.

Wasn't the intention behind it was creating panic among Indians?

If Govt takes action, Liberals will cry attack on Media.
The Quint's propaganda queen @poonamjourno presented an engineer who did PhD as a 'Doctor' who said India is in phase 3

Neither he's a Medical Doctor, nor in official Covid Task Force. Neither he said those lines.

Isn't this criminal reporting? Should govt not act on Fake News?
Kejriwal's bootlicker @vinodkapri spread fake news that due to shortage of PPEs, Doctors are using platic bags.

Truth - Assam Medical college students were testing PPEs as what can be used if shortage occurs.

He deleted it after fake news spread on whatsapp. Isn't it criminal?
Bigots like Rana Ayyub, Abhisar and many mote spread fake news that UP Police is acting against migrants.

They were lockdown violaters of Kanpur.

They deleted it, but propaganda spread on whatsapp and created panic and fear.
Media didn't stop at spreading Fake News in Hindi and English.

Ravish spread it in Bhojpuri to make fake news reach villages in UP/Bihar to create panic.

Instead of demand for taking action against such journalists, they are rewarded with Magsaysay.
