In this case, it looks like the good folks at #NDTV failed to even quote the ANI report properly!
Glad that they issued a correction in less than two hours, though!

Talking about confidence, it takes a special kind to use double quotes while tweeting the word "journalism", no?

Using double quotes for "journalism" is for minnows (check above tweet).
Pros use SINGLE QUOTES, especially while giving out certificates as to who is a good 'journalist'!
Like I said two tweets above, confidence full hai #NDTV walon ka!

Pic 1 - A really 'clever' graphic by our editorial team, totally 'hiding' our biases!
Pic 2 - Reaction across social media to our 'clever' graphic
Pic 3 - Cursory and 'sincere' apology and another 'clever' graphic that isn't a similar graphic at all!
ढीठ hain, ढीठ rahenge!

Btw, this is NOT the first time such 'cleverly' deceiving graphics have been put out by the good folks of #NDTV. Just scroll through this thread and be 'pleasantly' surprised!

Dear #NDTV, I really do hope that the young lady is back in the safety of your studios since it has been over a year since here 'inadvertent' celebrations at the martydrom of the CRPF boys in Pulwama, 'coz I really didn't see your disciplinary committee taking any further action.
Aap #NDTV ki chronology samajhiye:
1988: NDTV was born (Source: Wikipedia)
1971: Bangladesh was born
1947: India became independent
1908: This lady was born
Toh hui na wo Bangladeshi, nahi?
Aise hee bechare #NDTV walon se tweet delete karwa diya intolerant logon ne!

One thing STILL baffles me - How can the good folks at #NDTV allegedly be SO callous when it comes to the maps of their own country.
No, don't answer that.

Ah, that magical word - ALLEGED!
What would our alleged journalism be without this alleged word!
Here's a prime example - THRICE used in the same tweet!
And this, when the 'alleged' remark was on Video!!

Who the hell are UP Police to tell us how many of their personnel got shot, hainji?
We found only one.
So only one got shot.
Understood?
Official records don't matter.

Getting called out by none less than the White House itself!
Let me cap this thread for the time being with this report from The Newsroom that calls out #NDTV for spreading fake and absurd news!

The good folks at #NDTV, when not outrightly twisting facts and statements, also specialize in cherry-picking from them in their eternal pursuance of 'sensational' news!
Here's the latest example!
Here's the latest example!
So what if they are PROVEN RIOTEERS, our heart says that they were doing a very important social service!
That's why we at #NDTV refer to them as 'Social Workers'!
Btw, folks, do notice the SHOCKING absence of one of their favourite words - 'Alleged'!

Oh, and we at #NDTV are so deeply invested in bringing you the news that we are even one-to-one with propaganda spewing handles!
We even wish them good luck at times, for their endeavours!!
So what if they are later found out to be handles being run by ISIS terrorists, hainji?

And here was yet another rioteer .. oops, sorry .. 'social activist' caught on camera FIRING his weapon as also pointing it at a cop, threatening him.
But we at #NDTV saw no such thing!
We only saw him FLASH his weapon, aka, Shri Shahrukh of Bollywood fame does in his movies!

How, you asked?
Well, the internet shutdown happened nearly 18 months after the Kathua case. YET, it posed us so many difficulties!!
Btw, Kathua is in Jammu, not Kashmir.
But then, minor details never stop us!!

In this world of 'Fastest Finger First' and 'Breaking News', fact check hardly matters. Even if it involves extremely sensitive topics such as communal riots.
So what if some folks take us at #NDTV for a ride, huh?
We can always apologize .. sorry .. 'clarify' later!!

Btw, the original #NDTV tweet with embedded video from the 'alleged' landlord STILL hasn't been deleted!
I can only guess where all it must still be in circulation, inflaming even more.
Interestingly, the pgme that aired this lie is called 'Reality Check'! https://twitter.com/ndtv/status/1235990003101995008

'ALLEGEDLY'!!!
This, when the Chief Justice of India, quoted in this very #NDTV report never used this word!
Icing on the cake - This, when the very transcript quoted in this very #NDTV report makes it amply clear that there is no need for 'allegedly' in the title!

This is too tragic a report to say anything else on it, coming as it did, during the peak of communal tensions.
Call it an innocent oversight, or call it a malicious misreporting. I leave that entirely up to you https://www.opindia.com/2020/03/delhi-riots-the-wire-ndtv-lie-shiv-vihar-paints-hindus-as-aggressors-two-schools/

This tweet about yet another #NDTV celebrity reporter, I leave here without adding any further comment to it! https://twitter.com/iAnkurSingh/status/1234042378111143937
The photo of this innocent Russian Matryoshka Doll of Osama Ji on Vishnu Ji's table, and the reactions it generated, reminded me of a मुहावरा - "ताड़ के पेड़ के नीचे बैठ कर दूध भी पियो तो लोग समझेंगे ताड़ी पी रहा है"
Under normal circumstances, this would not raise many eyebrows, but then, refer the मुहावरा in the tweet above.

God knows what sources they rely upon.
So much so that not only do they tweet wrong news even AFTER it has been debunked by official sources, but won't even find it necessary to delete it once proven wrong.

Want to see another instance of #NDTV MAGIC??
Over here, 'Pakistan Zindabad' MAGICALLY gets translated to 'Long Live India'!!
Either they have made India into Pakistan, or vice versa, or .. they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find half educated interns / editors!
