One journalist @HelleLyngSvends compares the Indian media to Saudi Arabia and Cuba, and all hell breaks loose. Let me go one step further. Our media — the Godi media — is worse than Radio Rwanda. We have anchors against whom cases related to inciting riots have been registered. We have an anchor who actually did a show on “15 types of Jihad” based on a WhatsApp forward. Former Chief Justice of India Bobde had said during the Tablighi Jamaat case that our media had misused the freedom of expression. The entire propaganda surrounding Tablighi Jamaat was false — built on lies — and that is what our media has become: a riot-mongering machine and a sycophant of the BJP. The problem is that we live in a country where the industrialists who own most television channels and the BJP appear to have reached an understanding that no serious questions will be asked of the BJP or the Prime Minister. Anybody questioning the BJP is labelled anti-national. This is the reality of modern India under BJP. So let us accept the fact that the press in India is in an abysmal condition and freedom of expression is in the doldrums. Let us also not forget that India ranks 157th when it comes to press freedom. Raids are conducted against NDTV and once the ownership changes hands all the cases are withdrawn . HW news , Newsclick, Quint is raided. Digital platforms are removed without any transparency and the Govt has to eat humble pie in the court( 4PM news network) Courts pass ex parte orders based on the application of an industrialists and all shows are ordered to be removed. You call this freedom of press ? Are you aware of what the broadcast bill is and what it aims to achieve? Stop this charade and stop looking for conspiracy theories everytime someone's asks Modi ji a question.
