It’s hilarious how hard western media is trying to burn ⁦@narendramodi⁩. No. of -ve stories about India & ⁦@PMOIndia⁩ have skyrocketed. (& +ve stories about oppo are going up). Likely aimed at elections in ‘24. But most Indians don’t read NYT. nytimes.com/2022/08/24/opi…

Anti-India Story No. 2. This time from @lfrayer of @NPR.

All in a day’s work. :)

India-bashing Story No. 3. All today. This one is from @guardian.

Usual suspect anti-India journalists @NihaMasih and @gerryshih in @washingtonpost. Story No. 4. All today.

Story No. 5. Bashing India in the western media. @Reuters this time.

Ironically, left-wing media bias hurts the left (at least in the U.S.). It may not be too different in India. Likes of @ndtv and #thehindu are no longer the dominant forces they once miggg have been.
