Media Vs Modi

While Narendra Modi's achievements speak for themselves, we see the main stream media trying hard to undermine his stature...

"In contrast to the gutsy Shahla, Fauzia Zarin is traumatized. The episode and its implications amidst rumours of a threat perception from Modi doing the rounds have greatly upset her family."

It is shocking how the Times of India is insinuating that Gujarat CM is some kind of hoodlum who has threatened and traumatized some "innocent" Muslim girl! I wonder how much of these words are the girls and how much the reporter/editor's!!

The headline says "Narendra Modi's ad 'goof up' ". Another NaMo bashing news channel, Times Now, affiliated to the times group, implies that the advertisement of NaMo and Nitish Kumar was NaMo's personal endeavor. Reading this type of headlines one must think our Gujarat CM is a foolish person!

Finally, there was an article in the Indian Express wherein the editor attacks Modi's govt. as well as Modi personally and accuses the Gujarat govt has deliberately shortchanging the Muslim population.

Here is a letter written by a Gujarat administrator to IE clarifying the truth.

The most shocking part is that this article is not just some article in the IE but written by the editor who decides what track the paper will take. After reading his clear anti Modi bias it is clear what stand the IE will take on this issue.

Note: The NIE (New Indian Express) edited by Aditya Sinha is relatively less biased.

  1. We should stop buying all those News Papers that indulge in any Hindu Bashing. Should stop subscribing to those channels also. Does not make sense also in this internet age. Also must think of ways to curb the money flowing into their activities. I think the best encouragement that we give to these people is by reading and giving them attention. Let the dog bark to its death.

    I mean knowledgeable individuals like you the writers should continue to expose them. In the mean time, the common man should be discouraged from reading or watching such programmes.
