Recently, William Burns, the President of Carnegie, was nominated for the top job at the CIA. Considering the quality of background checks done on interviewees from his previous institution, one wonders how much misinformation slips through the net. Or perhaps, it doesn’t matter?

The story of the apparent downfall of the Indian media propagated by @CarnegieIndia, utilized unverified credentials of a “journalist” to get max reach. It was a part of an overarching theme constructed to suggest Indian democracy is in a tailspin, its fourth pillar demolished.
The effort of @CarnegieEndow to push the agenda is clear. After using a fraudulent “journalist” to claim India’s media is in shambles, the hitjobs continue:

Transparency and accountability would be well practiced on home turf before lectures are delivered on macro issues. Checks and balances within @CarnegieEndow appear to be sorely missing. It’s a good time for the think-tank to introspect and re-evaluate its strategy.
