Those who complain of "Godi media" should read this article to see what media bias really looks like.

Apparently CMs of Maha, Kerala, Raj, Chgarh, Punjab, Jhkhand, Puducherry made war with virus look easy.

Maha & Kerala lead in total cases.

300 fled quarantine in Punjab. (1/n)

Among the "achievements" of Chhattisgarh CM being touted :

(1) He installed banners of himself across the state

(2) Some guy called Sudhir Mishra praised him on Twitter.

(2/n)

As for Jharkhand, the state has so far done 61 tests.

Just 61 tests.

Can you imagine a BJP ruled state being able to flaunt "zero cases" after doing 61 tests?

Among Rajasthan CM's "achievements" the fact that he wrote a letter to PM Modi asking for relief package.

Among Puducherry CM's "achievements", the fact that his police lathicharged street vendors.

Imagine if Rahul were PM. Media would be praising just for putting banners of himself.

This is how 'secular' govts make us less safe. Because they get a pass from media for doing nothing.

On Feb 13, media announced Kerala defeated the virus. Today they have 100+ cases.

And finally, remember that this is how media has covered the history of India's troubles.

From Partition to the hundreds of riots that happened under Congress rule and 40 yrs of complete economic stagnation under Nehruvian socialism.

And this is how historians have written it.
