Storytime!

This young person who works in an company had to submit a report to his boss. He worked hard, day and night for a week, prepared the report and submitted it to his boss.

1/n
He went to office only to find a copy of the report marked in red, all over. The boss came to his desk and went batshit.

"Is THIS how you work? THIS? So many mistakes! Is this why we pay you your salary?" screamed boss.

Person said, "Sorry sir I'll fix it. Give me a day."

2/n
Young person burnt the midnight oil and fixed the report and submitted it early in the morning before going to work.

When he came to office something strange happened. He saw a cup of hot piping tea on his desk with a note, "Take this sir! You're awesome!"

We, at @newslaundry, have been calling out advertisers who fund hate for months and it's finally showing results.

Awareness is building that even advertiser's should be held responsible for the content they're funding.

#Thread
We started a series called #BloodlustTV with this piece.

If you see here, even govt is giving ads to this channel which out and out spreads hate on a daily basis.

Then came Republic TV's attempt to twist the Jamia Shooting incident and spread misinformation.

This one had companies like KENT, Air India, Raymond and more sponsoring the entire segment.

Have seen multiple clips throughout lockdown about migrant citizens walking towards their home and being asked why they aren't taking buses/trains arranged by the govt.

They might not be able to word it, but it's very obvious why: They Don't Trust The Government.

1/n
The migrant citizens deal with govt on a more regular basis than the middle class and elite. They have seen how inefficient the systems are.

While a privileged bunch of citizens continue to be enamoured by one leader or another, migrant citizens look at the system warily.

2/n
This is not about any leader. It's about government as a whole. It's a shit system.

When someone is desperate, hungry and wanting to go back to their loved ones, the LAST thing they'll want to do in India is turn to any govt.
