I wonder what are the odds that this is not the only handle who read 'International Press Institute' as 'International Presstitute'!
🤣
The good folks at #NDTV, when not outrightly twisting facts and statements, also specialize in cherry-picking from them in their eternal pursuance of 'sensational' news!
Here's the latest example! Image
So what if they are PROVEN RIOTEERS, our heart says that they were doing a very important social service!
That's why we at #NDTV refer to them as 'Social Workers'!
Btw, folks, do notice the SHOCKING absence of one of their favourite words - 'Alleged'!
Oh, and we at #NDTV are so deeply invested in bringing you the news that we are even one-to-one with propaganda spewing handles!
We even wish them good luck at times, for their endeavours!!
So what if they are later found out to be handles being run by ISIS terrorists, hainji? ImageImageImageImage
And here was yet another rioteer .. oops, sorry .. 'social activist' caught on camera FIRING his weapon as also pointing it at a cop, threatening him.
But we at #NDTV saw no such thing!
We only saw him FLASH his weapon, aka, Shri Shahrukh of Bollywood fame does in his movies! Image
Oh, and did we tell you that we at #NDTV are time travellers as well?
How, you asked?
Well, the internet shutdown happened nearly 18 months after the Kathua case. YET, it posed us so many difficulties!!
Btw, Kathua is in Jammu, not Kashmir.
But then, minor details never stop us!! ImageImage
In this world of 'Fastest Finger First' and 'Breaking News', fact check hardly matters. Even if it involves extremely sensitive topics such as communal riots.
So what if some folks take us at #NDTV for a ride, huh?
We can always apologize .. sorry .. 'clarify' later!! ImageImage
Btw, the original #NDTV tweet with embedded video from the 'alleged' landlord STILL hasn't been deleted!
I can only guess where all it must still be in circulation, inflaming even more.
Interestingly, the pgme that aired this lie is called 'Reality Check'!
'ALLEGEDLY'!!!
This, when the Chief Justice of India, quoted in this very #NDTV report never used this word!
Icing on the cake - This, when the very transcript quoted in this very #NDTV report makes it amply clear that there is no need for 'allegedly' in the title!
🤦‍♂️ ImageImageImage
This is too tragic a report to say anything else on it, coming as it did, during the peak of communal tensions.
Call it an innocent oversight, or call it a malicious misreporting. I leave that entirely up to you
opindia.com/2020/03/delhi-…
Sometimes it looks like 'Kiska naam likhna hai aur kiska sirf gender', this depends upon which part of 'Amar Akbar Anthony' they fit into! ImageImage
This tweet about yet another #NDTV celebrity reporter, I leave here without adding any further comment to it!
The photo of this innocent Russian Matryoshka Doll of Osama Ji on Vishnu Ji's table, and the reactions it generated, reminded me of a मुहावरा - "ताड़ के पेड़ के नीचे बैठ कर दूध भी पियो तो लोग समझेंगे ताड़ी पी रहा है"
🤣 Image
Under normal circumstances, this would not raise many eyebrows, but then, refer the मुहावरा in the tweet above.
I'll not say anything more
National Parliament .. State Assembly .. Ki Farak Painda Yaaron?
Ho jaati hai aisi chhoti-moti alleged editorial oversight kabhi kabhi!
Yakeen nahi ho toh ye thread shuru se dekh lo!!
#NDTV
🤣 Image
And then they wonder why people call #NDTV as an unreliable media house!
God knows what sources they rely upon.
So much so that not only do they tweet wrong news even AFTER it has been debunked by official sources, but won't even find it necessary to delete it once proven wrong. ImageImage
Social Media is a crime scene which is open for all to 'investigate'!
:D
Yo #NDTV so thorough that even movie reviews carry details of criminal backgrounds of the leading stars! Image
She said Pakistan Zindabad.
Then she said Hindustan Zindabad.
The video tweeted shows the same

BUT

The good folks at #NDTV heard .. 'Long Live All Countries'!

MAGIC, I tell you!!
^^
Can you really blame this handle for tweeting what it did?
^^
Or for that matter, this handle for what it tweeted?
Want to see another instance of #NDTV MAGIC??
Over here, 'Pakistan Zindabad' MAGICALLY gets translated to 'Long Live India'!!
Either they have made India into Pakistan, or vice versa, or .. they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find half educated interns / editors! Image
Agenda Ooncha Rahey Hamara!!
And then they wonder why some folks refer to #NDTV at PTV, or PiNDTV!!
(Btw, NDTV finally seems to have edited this report to include the omitted fact, a full nine hours after this tweet)
This tweet I leave here without any comment!
Oh, and talking about facts .. they ALWAYS agree with us!!
Why wouldn't they, when we have the BESTEST of all fact-checkers in the world!
But PLEASE don't go around looking at the replies to this quoted tweet!!
चोट बहुत गहरी लगी है.
अब तो बस full stop ही समझ लो!
🤣
#NDTV Image
Welcome to #NDTV, folks!
Here we play Badminton with balls .. Tennis Balls .. Oh, and Tennis Racquets also!!!
Of course, it all happens on tennis courts!!
Btw .. can anyone recommend to us some good interns who know the difference between tennis and badminton, PLEASE??!!
