Yes, like the Russians 'stole' the US election. MSM have become the main purveyors of fake news.
BBC is known for peddling fake news about India, as are their 'anointed' fact checkers. The venal empire strikes back.

#42Maybe they are trying to counter the default anti Indian narrative of most western media outlets which sometimes takes an ugly embarrassing form https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-29502062
I'm surprised you haven't been downvoted to oblivion yet. The deplorable 'Hindu' is looked down everywhere from the Western academia, to the Indian constitution.
The Constitution of India looks down on Hindus? Can you explain what you mean or cite some relevant passages from the Constitution of India?

To be honest, they aren't influencing, they're threatening media houses. No Indian news outlet except NDTV shows the truth because NDTV is suffering from losses in revenue as Central leaders have boycotted NDTV for showing the truth. Look at how the anti CAA protests are shown in general media. They're blaming opposition for everything
First time I learnt, news channel become more neutral when they are in loss. Conventional Response is to produce more polarising narrative to gain more views especially a target group that becomes loyal followers.
They're not "neutral"because they're in loss.
I remember since my childhood that NDTV has always been critical of the government and that's why I liked it but due to Burkha Dutt, I started to dislike the channel.
Now NDTV is the only channel which reports facts. You see Republic, Zee news etc blatantly spread govt agenda. But that's not because they're in loss, that's because they have sold their soul or never had one to begin with.
Also the media channels which kiss the emperors ring get contracts and are gaining profit. They fear monger and STILL blame the opposition even though BJP has ruled the county for six years. Of course you're surprised, you created a new just to spread propaganda here! But worry not, we won't let it happen and we have downvoting privileges, this isn't Twitter or Face book where the one who shouts the loudest is true

What "default anti Indian narrative"? Also, the cartoon you've linked to doesn't seem anti-Indian at all. I get that people complained, but it's a cartoon: quite a gentle one at that.
Reuters Report about crimes against women showed how anti indian western media is.
When stats provided by government show that India is unsafest for woman I hardly see the "anti India" bias

You see, the BJP troll army has descended on HN. They are all creating new accounts to spread their agenda. Their agenda = BJP good. Everyone else bad & everyone else is "anti Modi anti India anti Hindu pro Christian, pro Muslim Pro Pakistan"
(The last line is exactly what they say on social media)

I hate to break it to you, but the BBC being British and public hasn't exactly been a secret.
The name is literally British Broadcasting corporation! Also on their YouTube channel it clearly says "Public broadcasting of Govt of Britain"

#47It's like an arms race. With no Winner. Sort of like World War I trench warefare.
To be honest, everyone has an agenda. So when BBC is critical of ISRO then it is not propaganda, it is just racial bias.
But what these fake news outlets(which include leading mainstream media of India) do is they blame opposition for everything.
A bridge had collapsed in Mumbai due to BJP govt alloting it 1 Rupee for maintenance for that year and all channels were "questioning" the previous congress CM.
"Built during Congress time 45yrs ago. It collapsed! Massive corruption suspected"
They didn't say that BJP spent 1 Re for maintenance.
They find a way to blame opposition about everything. Even now, although economy is screwed BJP wants to polarise the country by "throwing out infiltrators", their genius idea is of making all 130crore people stand in line to prove that they're Indian nationals and their parents are Indian born. So basically everyone needs to give documents of their parents from the 80s!
And when opposition questions it BJP Media says "Opposition doing fear mongering! Owaisi spreading deep hatred!" They literally name opposition leaders and say anything they want to suit BJP agenda

#48Though they are pro India, the word fake sounds like they are fake news, when in fact they are just spinning existing news sites with an Indian positivity spin. Let's be honest most major states are doing this
> Let's be honest most major states are doing this Maybe if you exclude most western states/countries - not sure I have noticed a pattern of US media talking it up - quite the contrary - and I have not really gotten the impression that press of UK, Australia, France or Germany is in the business of putting positive spins on domestic matters either.
Dude every country has external sites to spin positive news, even if its for promoting Tourism

The personal attack is uncalled for. This is not /r/india. The rest of your post was insightful.

I agree everyone has an agenda but if they are all just playing the same move - Tit for Tat - provoke-react then what happens? Nothing. Stalemate.
Someone has to use some imagination and change the way they play the game. Right now, one day propaganda of one side wins and another day propaganda of another side wins. Its a trap.
