Media Biased

Why foreign media loves anti-india, champagne socialists as columnists

They can seek out op-eds by Jeff Smith at the Heritage Foundation, Ashley Tellis at Carnegie, Dhruva Jaishankar at Observer Research Foundation (ORF), Sameer Lalwani at Stimson Center, Richard Rossow at Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) – all of whom will be less than a 20-minute walk away. These people are classified as serious experts on topics ranging from the Indian economy to Indian nuclear weapons. Yet, the newspaper’s star interpreter of India is Rana Ayyub Why?”

Why India Was The BBC's Real Target On June 24, Not Altaf Hussain

The BBC's bias against India is well-logged, and regularly railed about in the Indian press. The Hindu newspaper's Premen Addy was an especially fierce critic. He accused the BBC of being Indo-phobic, and focusing on India's poverty more than its socioeconomic achievements.Over the years, it has been called both a left and right wing mouthpiece, depending on who got rubbed the wrong way. Still, how can the BBC have such an independent agenda? For starters, it is run by a Royal Charter, and not an Act of Parliament. This means the Lordships have more say in the editorial content than public officials. Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher claimed to have "fought three elections against the BBC" during her political career.

Foreign media's coverage of Delhi violence an attempt in dividing India

The Wall Street Journal

Known India and Modi baiter US-based Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has been caught yet again blatantly lying and attempting to vitiate the atmosphere. IB officer Ankit Sharma was killed by a Jihadi mob allegedly led by AAP leader Tahir Hussain and the same was corroborated by eye-witness accounts. Ankit brother Ankur Sharma too had blamed Muslim rioters and anti-CAA violent protesters for the murder of Ankit Sharma. He clearly says that Ankit was dragged by the Muslim mob while he was returning from duty when he was attacked and dragged into the building belonging to the AAP leader Tahir Hussain.

India needs to address hostile Western media

In the summer of 2014, the influential British weekly The Economist — also read by a section of India’s decision-makers — created a minor flutter by endorsing the Congress. Actually, more than being enthusiastic about the UPA-II that had completed an uninspiring five years, the magazine was outrightly disapproving of the challenger, Narendra Modi. Its argument was less focused on the future of Indian capitalism under Modi but principally centred on the BJP’s alleged programme of social divisiveness.

Huffpost’s anti-Hindu propaganda is visible, yet again, from its report on Chandni Chowk temple desecration
