Post the fact-check by my colleague @AbhishekSay about how mainstream media orgs including @IndiaToday wrongly claimed that the St George's Cross in the Indian Navy's flag was re-introduced during UPA, @ShivAroor put out a clarification, first on Twitter, and later on TV. 1/n
In this televised clarification, @ShivAroor suggested that the fact that he didn't brazen this out is evidence of his fairness and non-partisanship as a journalist. 2/n
The #AltNewsFactCheck was published on Sep 15, 2 weeks after the claim was first televised by @IndiaToday on Aug 30. The reason for the delay was because @AbhishekSay patiently watched broadcasts of multiple news channels to determine who all put out the false claim. 3/n

A video showing a few men & some apparently unconscious children lying in a forest is viral on WhatsApp with child kidnapping rumour. AltNews found that the video was scripted. It is further fuelling already widespread rumours of child kidnapping. Beware!

Here is his false Anti Muslim propaganda post Shared on his Kannada page. Here he alleges that 'Muslim agencies' are charging Rs 35,000 for the last rites of COVID deceased in Bangalore. 
He used two photos to support his False Claim. First image was shared by PTI Journalist @mvashistpti
“After the sudden death of a Hindu friend’s family member, two Muslim brothers helped in the last rites. The family consisted of only a woman and her child..."s

Social media and WhatsApp are replete with unscientific, non evidence-backed cures for prevention and treatment of COVID-19. This thread is about those unverified claims that were propagated and endorsed by the government, politicians or media. 1/n

Indian Medical Association (IMA) questioned the scientific basis of this protocol. They demanded that Union Health Minister should come clean on the questions posed to him. ‘If not, he is inflicting a fraud on the nation and gullible patients by calling placebos as drugs.’ 3/n

Digging out old unrelated images and videos and circulating them with a false narrative has become a booming cottage industry. Thread on the misinformation that has been spread to discredit farmers' protest and how #AltNewsFactCheck has busted each claim.👇1/n
In the right-wing mind, the easiest way to malign is to manufacture a Muslim angle. So an old photo that predates the bills was dug out & falsely shared BJP office bearers and supporters as Muslim man disguised as Sikh to participate in the agitation. 2/n altnews.in/photo-predatin…
80+ yo 'Shaheen Bagh Dadi' still rattles the RW like no other. So a photo of an elderly Punjabi woman was shared with the false claim that she is Bilkis Bano and is paid to join the protest. KanganaRanaut, GaruavPradhan were among those who shared it. 3/n altnews.in/shaheen-bagh-d…
Do read this thread. 🙏
Since Farmers protest, Troll Army has been hyperactive digging out old and unrelated vidoes/images and linking it to Farmers protest to demean the protesters. Just like they did for CAA/NRC protesters in Dec-Feb.
