On Friday, 2 men were spotted with boxes outside the entrance of #Twitter headquarters in San Francisco.

CNBC mistook them for ex-Twitter employees (assuming that they were sacked by Twitter's new owner Elon Musk).

And guess what? The two strangers decided to play along (1/n)
One of them claimed to be a data engineer, who had been working with Twitter for 6 years.

While using the pseudonym of 'Daniel Johnson', he lamented, "I own a Tesla. How am I going to make car payments?"
(2/n)
“Listen, I got to touch base with my husband and wife,” Daniel said before making his way out.

Daniel, who supposedly has both husband and a wife, blew his cover with that statement.

But, this was not enough to convince CNBC ‘Tech Check’ journalist, Deidre Bosa. (3/n)

Reuters' journalist Rina Chandran has come up with a propaganda piece to whitewash the violence perpetrated by Islamists in Leicester.

To do so, she has pinned the blame on Indian Hindus for violence against Hindus, living in Leicester.

Thread:
(1/n)
“Rumour had it that a Muslim girl had been kidnapped and a Hindu temple had sent masked thugs into combat,” she wrote, without mentioning that both these rumours were conceived in Leicester and disseminated by the Islamists living there.
(2/n)
Opindia reported how Islamists had blamed the RSS for supposedly trying to kidnap a 15-year-old Muslim girl.

A Hindu man was dubbed as a paedophile & his address was even leaked on Facebook. Later, it turned out to be fake news.

Over the years, OpIndia has reported multiple cases where the perpetrator has changed his Muslim identity to lure a Hindu girl into a romantic relationship and then either exploited her or later forced her to convert to Islam. (1/n)
In January this year, while speaking to OpIndia's @nirwamehta, a Surat-based activist talked about how some forced religious conversions aren't obvious. As such 'marriages' are first registered under Special Marriage Act (2/n)
Later, they ask the girl do to the 'nikah'. A nikah can be solemnised only between two Muslims. Hence, for the girl to do the nikah, she would have to convert to Islam. While many would call this 'free will', there are subtle nudges to the girl to convert. (3/n)

For three days, 4 of us at OpIndia spent hours going through the timeline of Alt News cofounder Mohammad Zubair from 27 May 2022 when he first tweeted out the out of context clip of now ex-BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma on Times Now debate. (1/n)
Zubair had called Nupur Sharma a 'rabid communal hatemonger' and kept accusing Times Now and thereby Vineet Jain of providing platform to someone who was 'speaking against community' (2/n) Image
Sharma's anger against mocking of the Shivaling was described as 'speaking against a community'. This was like 'us vs them' theory that was propagated by likes of Jinnah that led to Partition of India (3/n)
