Moving on with this thread.
Again!
119
To be fair, #NDTV probably wouldn't be the only one that confused 'Osama' with 'Obama'.
But that doesn't mean I'll not put this 'editorial gaffe' here for archival purposes!
120
Our editors have managed to defeat the Matrix by successfully introducing a 'glitch' that converts a drug addict into a drug addiction!
Here's proof!
121
Refer tweets 5 and 6 of this thread, and possibly another one or two apart from these.
Whenever we type the word 'TERRORIST', our computers automatically change it to a more 'humane' word.
In this case our computers chose to convert Terrorists into Citizens!
122
This one is offered without comment, our of sheer respect for their allegedly unbiased reporting!
123
Talking about inadvertent editorial gaffes .. THANK HEAVENS they only made him 'Sardad' Patel and not 'सरदर्द' Patel!
Because had they done it, one can only imagine the kind of reactions they might have received!
Shukr hai bach gaye!
Kasam Se!
124
Oh, btw, wrt the above tweet, I'll just copy and paste part of the text from tweet number 93 of this thread to save time!
"Sometimes I wonder would an allegedly renowned media house so proudly quote 'Foreign Media' in the main headline .. But then I tell myself, it is #NDTV!"
125
Further to tweets 5, 6 and 121 of this thread ..
This time a guy trained to kill Indian citizens gets branded a Worker!
Looks like the message that the 'T' word will NOT be used has really tickled the creativity bug in some good folks!
126
Btw, such a glamorous 'representative' photo of the alleged 'worker' made me do a google search.
Sure enough, the report on a terrorist's arrest carries a cropped / photoshopped photo of police officers!
127
Ah, Statistics!
We love them soooo much, 'coz they can always be suited to tell what we have on our alleged agenda!
Over here, #NDTV seems to be implying that govts in India are formed / felled based on vote percentages and NOT the absolute numbers of MPs!
128
Yo #NDTV so secular that a Pakistani Flag automatically changes to a flag RESEMBLING Pakistani flag!
This, when their OWN report says it is a Pakistani flag in the VERY FIRST SENTENCE!
129
^^
Heck, even the headline of the report says Pakistani Flag!
But, looks like the worker bee sitting on the twitter handle of our dear #NDTV didn't get the 'correct' message, Allegedly!
130
^^
Btw, ANI tweeted two pics with their report on the incident.
Guess which one did #NDTV choose to use for their own report!
(With due attribution to ANI, of course!)
131
VIRAL indeed!
Aud iss desh ke baaki maa baap toh apne bachchon par sirf chaabuk hee chalaate hain!
132
How in the world did the good folks at #NDTV manage to do this still baffles me!
My alleged conspiracy theory begins with the sentence, "One night an NDTV intern was feeling bored, so he went online and .."
🤣
133
God bless the person who allegedly created the word 'ALLEGED'!
Even @KanchanGupta ji agrees, allegedly!
134
BREAKING NEWS IS OUR DHARMA .. Fact checking comes secondary!
135
Murdered!
Somehow, I have my doubts the 'govt hand' actually used that word.
But then, he is and will always be anonymous, no?
136
Talk about reputations!
137
While we are on the subject of reputations, I guess this thread too has earned a bit, allegedly .. or would you say purportedly?
😂
138
To be fair, she wasn't the only one who celebrated the deaths of soldiers, in their blind hatred of a certain group of politicians.
But what are the odds that having served her two weeks of penance, she is back working for #NDTV?
139
^^
Just for the sake of archiving, here are the screenshots of what Nidhi Sethi, Deputy News Editor at #NDTV said in the aftermath of the #PulwamaAttack.
A truly sick mentality, this.
140
And then there was the time when the good folks at #NDTV turned Robert F. Kennedy into a Chinook helicopter!
Sheer magicians, I tell you!
141
Agenda ooncha rahe hamara!
142
But I have a confession to make .. I sometimes stay awake at night wondering if I am wasting my time chronicling the allegedly 'unique' brand of journalism of #NDTV, esp when NO ONE watches it in the first place!
143
Further to Tweet 26, I'll leave this thread for the time being with a screenshot of this tweet by @shivanginipatha!
Jai Hind!
