In June 2020, while India was dealing with COVID-19 as the cases were ramping up, 9 top Ministers were holding meeting after meeting to discuss how gormint can improve its image better.
Priorities.
Priorities.
Here's the glorious list of the "prominent personalities" they met to take feedback on how the govt can communicate better.
This report is truly wild!

.@sighyush spoke to a few people in this list and they told him that the meetings were supposed to be a debrief on Galwan. They had no idea what was happening.
I mean, the kind of stuff attributed to some of them is quite bonkers, so I'm not surprised.

Storytime!
There is this restaurant. It's quite popular, especially for its Tandoori Chicken dish.
The restaurant owners ask their chefs to add copious amounts of masala to the dish, to make it more delectable.
Customers flock to it for that reason.

Another restaurant opens up in the neighborhood, and it wants to sell Tandoori Chicken too!
This particular restaurant decides to add some food coloring to it, along with the copious amounts of masalas.
Customers are impressed and then they start flocking to the new one!

Clearly, there's a lot of demand for it. Or so they assume.
This restaurant uses masalas, adds food color but also gives salad on the side as a bonus.
Customers now flock to this one!

While Twitterverse rejoices/outrages about Suresh Chavhanke's "UPSC Jihad" show from being censored, Sudarshan TV did a hateful show about how they weren't able to do a show.

Apart from Amul and UP Govt, there were two other sponsors.
Say hello to Vidya Balan & Raveena Tandon selling products on Sudarshan News.

Brands really need to rethink about what they sponsor and what sort of hateful content they are paying for.
Oh and while advertisers pay to keep news hateful, it's time you step up and #PayToKeepNewsFree.

Arnab read out my tweet. This is too funny. 😂
But what's funnier is that he completely ignored the last part of the prediction.
Probably Arnab knew the 'cheering' part will come true no matter what happens.
Smart.

News Channels gave Baba Ramdev a massive platform yesterday to promote his untested unproved drug called Coronil.
Why?
Because when Patanjali pays, Patanjali is served.
My piece telling you how much of a crazy influence Babaji has on the media.

This entire drama we witnessed yesterday was the biggest example yet of how much influence Advertising has on our news.
They will bow down to Advertisers even if it comes to literally threatening the lives of their viewers.
See for yourself.

This is why you need to support independent media.
@newslaundry is able to call out such BS only because we don't take money from Babaji or his Buty.
#PayToKeepNewsFree and tell your friends to do it too!

Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved Ltd is a major FMCG advertiser on news channels.
When advertisers pay, advertisers will be served, and you get this half-baked crap like this in the name of news. Even GOI has asked Patanjali to stop advertising this as Covid treatment.

If you want real news, YOU have to PAY and PAY to keep news free of advertiser influence. Read @Basantrajsonu's report that shreds through Patanjali's claims. He's done what a big media house like Times Now couldn't.

This story perfectly captures the heart-breaking reality of migrant citizens traveling for kilometres on foot, feeling a sense of betrayal from authorities.
These are the kind of stories only reporters on the ground can narrate.

This story was funded by 14 people.
That's right, 14 peeps who gave money to @newslaundry & made it possible for @tweets_prateekg to travel 300 kms over 3 days, capturing the stories of migrant citizens.
He even did a video on it which is in the story.

This, ladies and gents, is the future of journalism. You pay for the stories you care about, we deliver. It's as simple as that.
What these 14 people have done is made these stories available for 1000s of other people by paying for it.
Our #PayToKeepNewsFree tribe is amaze!

Migrant from Assam in Mumbai falsifying migrant distress in the city on the day when scores had gathered outside #BandraStation
His office is about 20 minutes from where they had gathered but he still couldn't report on the issue, instead fed us conspiracies

Not just Arnab, on the same night, top anchors across channels chose not to report accurately on why migrants had gathered outside Bandra depot.
Check this thread out:
Check this thread out:
Keywords they used: 'Saazish', 'masjid', 'instigated', 'mob', 'CAA', and ya even 'Shaheen Bagh'.
The goal was to tell their viewers that these were not migrants in distress wanting to go back home, this was an anti-Modi, politically-motivated mob that wanted chaos.

We live in a time when the 'mainstream' media is not mainstream anymore. It's not that people aren't watching TV or reading newspapers, they are, but now people want news faster and in a more relatable format.
Digital Media is filling that void.
It is the new mainstream.

It is the new mainstream.
You can see yourself how TV news has become a Newsance (😉).
It's like they want to put up a verbal WWE match on a divisive issue every damn night.
The reason why they do it is for your eyeballs. They want you to watch toxic TV news, so that you will also watch their ads.
