His tweet on Shringi Yadav was was widely called out. 2/n
A TOI article on the hashtag support for abuser mentioned Gajendra Chauhan’s tweet and the fact that he had deleted it. 3/n timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ghaziabad…
There was even a reddit thread on BJP members lining up to support Yadav where Gajendra Chauhan’s tweet was prominently featured 4/n reddit.com/r/india/commen…
Given this backdrop, who would imagine that someone would actually come out and declare the Chauhan never tweeted in support of Yadav and that screenshots are morphed? It takes a serious ‘gold standard’ of an ‘Anti Fake News War Room’ #AFWA to do that. 5/n
The only thing that is fake here is IndiaToday’s laughable attempt to fact-check. How can they even think of attempting it when the archive link of Chauhan’s tweet is available 🤦🏽♀️ 6/n.

IndiaToday fact-check was based on their faulty understanding of time format of tweets. Elementary stuff for any fact-checker really! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ 7/7 altnews.in/?p=88525
