1. Last evening, I got a call from a Mirror Now reporter (you know who you are. Not naming you to give you a chance). She asked me about a conference I was to participate in. She asked me why my name is missing. I said I am no longer a part of it.

2. She asked me if I was being trolled. I said yes, me and my family like its been happening for many years. But there is more and I don't want to comment.
3. She asked me if I had formally withdrawn. I asked, "Is this conversation 'on the record'?"
4. She said, yes.

7. The reporter never told me that she is recording the phone conversation will broadcast it. Not that anything I have said is a problem.

But those who think that Times Now is so bad & Mirror Now is saving grace, pls know that they are forced to use the name of their 'good channel' to gather fuel for the defamed one.

So cool to know that propaganda machinery is finding it hard to float without a pretentious public interest arm. Some collateral soul stirring, if nothing else. π
