We looked at two months of TV news debates in the run-up to elections to check the percentage of anti-Opposition versus Pro-Modi debates. Also number of primetime shows on employment and inflation.
The numbers will shock you. Or not.

Meet Lakshmi Devi, who told me how stunned she was to see her photo in a BJP govt ad claiming that she got a house under the PM Awas Yojna.
She says the ad is a lie, tells us what she thinks of PM's schemes & has a message for him. Link ➡️ ➡️
Only in India can you get away with calling a Muslim you disagree with a 'jihadi' and still have media organisations platform you. Even Fox and Co wouldn't tolerate such crap. Shows how low our expectations from public discourse is.
Can you believe this is happening on a “news channel” in a week where 280 people have died in a train accident & a state has plunged into total chaos. This isn’t just on the anchor, it’s on the top leadership. What an insult to us as news consumers, as citizens in a democracy
Yup. Most media houses, too, including India Today, are family-run businesses with key postions and power passed on to sons and daughters, bhais and bhateejas, not 'meritorious outsiders'. Good to start the conversation at home.
Nationwide support for SSR holds lessons not just for Bollywood but also for Congress. Indians have had it with closed cosy clubs that don’t open their doors to meritorious outsiders. Nepotism in films and politics has passed its use by date. Are Congress & Bollywood listening?
West Bengal results make me suspect Times Now's 'noble decision' to not telecast results. They've suddenly realised there's a medical crisis. By evening, they'll be blaming TMC workers celebrating for the spread of corona even though we know that rallies didn't lead to any surge
Happy to note that this well-researched video by

has reached 3 million people. Much better job of discussing the issue than any of our TV news anchors. No surprises there though.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel stresses "solidarity" with Israel in call with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, as death toll from Israeli strikes in besieged Gaza tops 200
Viewer dials into Times Now to say this: 'Times Now waale...yeh Navika aur doosra kaun tha unke saath..yeh 8 saal se Modi aur Shah ki godi main baith ke unki tareef karte rahe.'
जिस दिन Amit Shah के घर Bulldozer चल जाएगा, इस देश में दंगे बंद हो जाएंगे।
BJP ने दंगे करवाने के लिए देशभर में बांग्लादेशियों और रोहिंग्या को बसाया है।
BJP List दे, किसे कहाँ बसाया है? इससे पता चल जाएगा- अगले दंगे भाजपा कहाँ करवाने जा रही है।

India Today found time to sneak in their boss because her contribution to our country’s scientific temper through her TV networks talking about Kaala Jaadu, cow exhaling oxygen, Ramdev curing corona, various jihads and nano chips has been immense. Truly an emotional moment.
Parle Products, the maker of Parle G biscuits, senior category head Krishnarao Buddha said the company will not advertise on news channels that broadcast toxic content.
Why are nationalist TV news anchors quiet on Davinder Singh (Thread 👇)
Something as ridiculous at the 'Plot to Kill PM' gets days and days of primetime space, but a cop caught with 2 Hizbul men is completely ignored.

News anchors hve spent much time actively demonising all aspects of a Muslim's life in India. Everything is under suspicion —from what they eat to what they wear to who they love to where they pray. The poison is real.

Omar Abdullah's intervention went viral but I think this statement by Navika also deserves some love.
There are plenty of journalists in India working for Indian orgs who are reporting on the pandemic bravely/meticulously. Noida-based studio ≠ 'domestic' media. In fact, Rana Ayyub hasn't reported on the pandemic but is repeatedly called on as a talkinghead in international media
“We have parallel realities in India,” says
@RanaAyyub
: “A reality that’s shown by our domestic media, which is basically prostrating to Narendra Modi, and then there are journalists who work with international media, who have been speaking truth to power.”
Alarming story: Applicants who cleared the exam for a govt job had their interview cancelled at the last minute. Instead 88 other people were hired — with connections to RSS. The state government bypassed procedure to allot them jobs.
Last year, we saw a vicious witch-hunt play out against Rhea Chakraborty on TV news - anchors propped up murder theories, accused her of kala-jaadu and being a bad girlfriend. This was after they falsely malligned T jamaat, migrants gathered outside bandra station...
Let's be clear. If a journalist had said what Arnab said about Sonia about a BJP neta in a BJP-governed state, they'd be in jail by now with possibly sedition slapped on them. And those asking 'who's the real fascist' would have cheered on.
At least 30 companies — which donated a total of nearly Rs 335 crore to the BJP in the five previous financial years — have faced action by central agencies during the same period. Some of them even handed out chunkier donations in the months that followed the action.
