जब कोरोना शुरू हुआ था तब मीडिया की एक ख़ास जमात ने टेस्टिंग किट की कमी का हल्ला मचाना शुरू कर दिया था। बताया कि 25Cr लोग बीमार होने वाले हैं। ताकि सरकार पर दबाव बने और विदेश से टेस्टिंग किट ख़रीदे।
टेस्टिंग किट बस एक ही देश बेच रहा था और वो था चीन।

Rapid Testing Kit का थोड़ा बहुत इंपोर्ट चीन से हुआ, उसमें भी ज़्यादातर ख़राब निकले। अभी रोज़ क़रीब 1 लाख टेस्ट हो रहे हैं और ज़्यादातर टेस्टिंग किट भारतीय कंपनियाँ बना रही हैं।

फिर वेंटिलेटर का शोर मचाया गया। ऐसा लगा मानो इसके बिना आफ़त आ जाएगी।
बताया गया कि देश में सिर्फ़ 45 हज़ार वेंटिलेटर है और मई तक 10 लाख चाहिए।
इतने वेंटिलेटर सिर्फ़ चीन ने पहले से बनाकर रखे हैं।
वो भी डबल रेट यानी भारतीय रुपये के हिसाब से एक क़रीब 10 लाख का।

Let me tell you something shocking. How a fake story gets planted in media. People wonder how it happens that totally fake thing gets printed. Goes back to more than a decade ago, when youths were arrested. If suspects were in ATS or some other custody, reporters in that city...
...were expected to file follow-up stories for days, even weeks. Especially, if a 'prized catch' in custody of a special unit that doesn't share lot info or just because bureau chief-editor want 'big news' to be taken on page one. 'How can we let the story die in two days'....
'What has the guy told in interrogation, what's the revelation, what's the module, what CDR tells, what are his links, has he broken down, does he cry, does he regret...' all these questions are standard. But when you don't get a 'scoop' & you are expected to bring it, then...

Many of India's news channels have taken to amplifying the nationalistic rhetoric of the BJP.
Why? Is it vested interests, ideology, commercial imperatives...or all of these factors?
