⚠️INDIAN MEDIA aka RWANDA Radio⚠️

Fake News/Propoganda, The bread and butter of the Indian RW is now no longer limited to Trolls with Verified SM Handles. Now, the job is mainly headed by National(Noida) News Channels and a lobby of BnDs.

1. On 14 April ABP news aired a news that people have gathered in a Mosque in Bandra. However, the truth was that those people were migrant labours who gathered in Bandra Railway Station premises wanting to go home.
The credit for People rushing into the railway station...
also goes to the Maratha unit of ABP News, who peddled a blatant lie that a special train was been organized in order to help the migrant labours go home.

1 of their journalist was arrested soon after his false info prompted the Bandra chaos.

On 7 April @ANINewsUP passed on a news that " Persons who came in contact with TJ members were Quarantined". Many news anchors also jumped in to catch the bite.

However, @DCP_Noida was quick enough to call out their propaganda.
When the entire country was battling COVID19 our beloved Media houses were busy passing off information without an iota of authenticity.

Several Journalists shared a false news that 18 TJ members were found Covid+. However, their testings didn't even take place.
**Selective Name Reporting**

Whenever accused is not Muslim Vs Muslim
On 9 April ZEE News aired a news that 11 Jamaat Members were infected with COVID19 creating tensions amongst masses in Arunachal Pradesh.

Later @ArunachalDIPR clarified that no such cases took place in the state and called the reporting to be False.

However, the damage was done
On 10 April ABP News aired a report of ICMR citing figures of possible infected people without the presence of Lockdown.

However, The Health Ministry has denied the existence of any such report. The source of info hence remains a mystery.
On 27 Feb, When the National Capital was battling a pogrom @SudarshanNewsTV broadcasted a fake news about a woman being murdered in AAP MLA Tahir Hussain' s House.

The Clippings of the broadcast were later found to be of a different incident with no relation with the MLA.
