In this video I show you how Op India used a 45 seconds clip from @ShekharGupta's Cut The Clutter Video and mischievously edited it to make a narrative that is not only false, but 180 degree opposite to what Mr Gupta said. I welcome @OpIndia_com to correct me if I am wrong.
The point where Mr. Gupta said "several prominent Bloomsbury authors and you'll see those name on screen..." there were screenshots of @DalrympleWill @harikunzru @AatishTaseer etc. In Op India's clip the screenshots are mischievously of @sanjeevsanyal @Sanjay_Dixit etc.
The entire Cut The Clutter video of Mr. Gupta was about blaming the liberal mob of bullying Bloomsbury into withdrawing the book. He completely blamed liberals. And Op India made headline that he is blaming right wing. Here is original video
Here is my full length video on this.

Apart from creating a false story, what is more bizarre is the premise they chose. Premise that Shekhar Gupta would blame right wing for bullying a publisher to withdraw a pro-right wing book. How would anybody believe this? Exactly how dumb are the Op India readers?
I don't follow Op India stories. I just chanced upon this story. But it is sufficient to show just how much fake they are. The level of falsehood is so shocking that till now I am thinking maybe I am misunderstanding. Nobody can possibly publish such lies. Apparently they can.
