Biased Western Media coverage

Perhaps if you could go back in time, if you'd read the portrayal by Gora media on Latin American dictators during the Cold War and contrast it with the satrangi dostana extended towards dictators by their govt back in the day you'd see more parallels.

Truth of the matter is they see an ascendant India under Mudi as a strong threat, and a united India under even non-Modi govt as a latent threat, and so their media narratives take shape accordingly.

Among their small zoo of vassals, you may notice the utterly spayed and neutrerd ones like those Nodic contries, NZ, CA etc get really good narratives, top ranks at those bullshit rankings, the east azn ones get slightly pessimistic coverage.


We don't even get the privilege of satrangi dostana from US govt tho

We are fortunate not to have such friendships. A perplexed Globalist American Elite works in our favor politically. Their inability to categorize our political stance allows us greater flexibility in making geopolitical decisions. Consider how they undermine their purported allies. Germany, the UK, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada are essentially ineffectual in providing any political resolutions.

None of them attempted to mediate between Russia and Ukraine. Only France had the independence to break away from the alliance and make an attempt.

They do not want to mediate the conflict. They want to keep the conflict going as to keep Russia bogged down and be sapped and weakened further.

A jobs crisis in India is driving workers to Israel

The rush for construction jobs in war-torn Israel paints a grim picture of the jobs situation in India.

Through this logic can we infer that the "model state" of Geralam has an over 9000% unemployment rate since every tom dick and harry there goes to the Gelph to make much more moneys for the same job in India ?

It's almost as if netting more money for the same job in a foreign country, you will move there.

It is Israel which is hiring in India, not Indians going there desperately due to some "crisis". Unemployment is a problem here, due to vast chunk of population dependant on agriculture and informal economy who need jobs even if they're making money.

And 1 lakh is less than 0.007% of India's population.

But then it is Bhosdanews Bhosadcasting Chhinal (BBC)

UK's "Online Safety Act" Officially Grants MSM Premission To Publish Lies

BY TYLER DURDEN

Via Off-Guardian.org,
Welcome to the UK where it’s now official government policy that you CAN’T publish “misinformation”, but The Guardian, the BBC, Disney and Netflix CAN...


Yes, it’s true – the recently signed “Online Safety Act” brands the publication of “false information” a criminal offense punishable by up to a year in prison…

…unless you’re an MSM outlet, when it’s totally fine.

Think even the corrupt & bloated criminal class that rules over us would never dare be that blatant?

Take a look at section 179 making it illegal to publish false information with intent to cause harm:



…and then look at section 180, which exempts all MSM outlets from this new law :



…and that’s without even getting into OfCom’s “select committee”, or how they choose to define “misinformation” (s. 152)

Welcome to the modern definition of “freedom of speech”, where the MSM are directly and explicitly permitted to “knowingly publish false information with intent to cause non-trivial harm”, and you can be sent to jail for a year for calling out their lies.

Oh, and it looks like our friends across the pond might not be far behind. The Big Tech Senate hearings started yesterday, and social media executives are already throwing their support behind the new “Kids Online Safety Act”.

With the EU’s own Digital Services Act coming into force later this month, and all the focus on “misinformation and disinformation” at Davos two weeks ago, we can see the real crackdown on internet free speech is about to kick into gear.

Good times.

For a more in-depth break down of what exactly the “Online Safety Act” is and how it works, you can read our article from last September.

"If you had asked me five or six years ago, I would have said they (Western media) are misinformed and need to be educated. However, over time, I've come to the conclusion that it's not a lack of information, and education won't improve anything because basically it's driven by certain agendas—it could be ideological, corporate interests, or various other reasons. But it's not because they don't have the correct information; they just want to tell a particular story, and they're going to tell it anyway."

Exactly what I've been saying. No matter what India does, the Western media will continue to spread misinformation about India because India is not a vassal state of the West.

The only point where I slightly disagree with
@sanjeevsanyal
sir is that while Westerners might not trust their media on local issues, the majority of them still more or less trust their media on global issues, especially regarding India, or at least get their information about India from them.

Yes, social media is beneficial, but India still needs a global media presence.

Full acceptance of the LGBT community doesn't exist in Canada either. Just because a few cities give them considerable freedom, doesn't mean that the whole country likes, accepts or tolerates them. Even in those larger cities, there is far from 100 percent acceptance at all levels, social, employment, education etc. In small town Canada, the situation with respect to attitudes and acceptance would be far from liberal, individual liberal individuals being the exception.

Articles like the CBC one, have the feel of ' shift the goalpost to criticise India' if it isn't ' find any negative story about India'

Not biased media coverage per-se, but opening talking about UK being a Christian country.
Hope we can say that Bharat has always been a Hindu country and shall always be one.

Very interesting developments in Brazil related to Twitter & especially to Musk with resonances to the scenario in India. All the more reason we need our OWN SM platforms.
