Media Misworks
The recent effort to indirectly acquire NDTV by Adani enterprises is an effort in the direction of creating another Godi media. Much of the mainstream national media is already a ‘Godi media’ and perhaps it is believed that this will put an end to independent media in the mainstream media space. Godi media can perhaps be described as an extension of ‘bhakt nationalism’ as displayed in mainstream news space.
It is important to decipher as to how the godi media has become high speed pathway to misinformation and spreading hate and the role it plays in contemporary times. A 5G approach of how it has emerged as provider of misinformation and contributes to polarizing can help in assessing the same.

News Anchor, BJP's Rajyavardhan Rathore Booked Over 'Doctored' Rahul Gandhi Video https://thewire.in/government/news-anchor-bjps-rajyavardhan-rathore-booked-over-doctored-rahul-gandhi-video The complainant alleged that Zee News anchor Rohit Ranjan in his show aired a statement of Gandhi on the SFI violence on his Wayanad office and mischievously doctored it to make it seem like it was a comment on the heinous murder of Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur.
Chief Minister Gehlot: “Gandhi had said that the children who did this (vandalised his office in Wayanad) they’ve acted in an irresponsible way. They are kids, forgive them. But the TV channel and the anchor ran that Rahul Gandhi was saying those who killed Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur were kids and should be forgiven,”

5 Jul 2022 Prime Time With Ravish Kumar - July 5, 2022: आज कहानी घूम रही है ज़ी न्यूज़ के ऐंकर रोहित रंजन (Rohit Ranjan) के गिरफ्तारी के प्रयास की. कमाल यह है कि ज़ी न्यूज़ ने राहुल गांधी के मामले में फेक वीडियो चलाने की सारी ज़िम्मेदारी अपने ही दो कर्मचारियों पर डाल दी है और उनके खिलाफ थाने में शिकायत कर दी है. अब तय करना मुश्किल हो रहा है कि प्रेस की आज़ादी पर हमला छत्तीसगढ़ की पुलिस कर रही है या ज़ी न्यूज़ कर रहा है?

''मैं ये जानकर स्तब्ध हूं कि आपकी पार्टी के कुछ सहयोगियों ने जानबूझकर एक चैनल पर प्रसारित हुई एक शरारतपूर्ण रिपोर्ट साझा को किया है। वास्तविक वीडियो में राहुल गांधी उनके वायनाड कार्यालय पर एसएफआई द्वारा की गई हिंसा के संबंध में टिप्पणी कर रहे थे, लेकिन चैनल की ओर से उसे जानबूझकर और शरारतपूर्ण ढंग से काट-छांट करके इस प्रकार से प्रस्तुत किया गया, जैसे कि यह टिप्पणी उदयपुर में कन्हैया लाल की जघन्य हत्या के संबंध में थी''

In the video, PM Modi can be heard saying "“We have taken the initiative to create clusters for potatoes. A few months ago, we made a big policy related to the export of agricultural produce. I make gold from potato…and the country will get foreign exchange also"

Kanhaiya Lal’s killing & arrest of Alt News co-founder Zubair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2Y80O-1ghc 2 jul2022
This week, the news of Hindu tailor #KanhaiyaLal’s beheading in #Udaipur by two extremist Muslim men, Gaus Mohammad and Mohammad Riyaz Akhtari, hit headlines. One would think there was nothing to “debate” about such a crime, but when does news TV disappoint?
Times Now, where the entire #NupurSharma fracas started, invited a non-expert who masquerades as a CPI spokesperson and political analyst. He justified the murder by questioning the victim. We explain how such “experts” and “fake spokespersons” help TV news anchors create a perception that some people in the opposition support the murder. Meanwhile, Rahul Shivshankar wondered if people like Gauri Lankesh, Narendra Achyut Dabholkar and Govind Pansare should be beheaded for insulting Hindu gods and if India should legalise beheadings. We explain why it would be hard to behead people who are long dead, and why Times Now remains the classiest of all channels.
Arnab Goswami cheered the arrest of #MohammadZubair of Alt News. We look at why many of India’s prominent news anchors love to hate Zubair.

India’s Adani’s group, its proximity to prime minister Narendra Modi, and its influence over the Sri Lanka government has been at the centre of a political controversy unfolding in Sri Lanka over the last five days. We (newslaundry) tracked India’s top business papers over 5 days. Modi-Adani controversy barely figured Why wouldn’t a business media house report on a controversy involving Modi and the Adani group?
https://www.newslaundry.com/2022/06/14/2022/03/31/why-indian-medias-coverage-of-sri-lanka-crisis-is-partial by Kartik Kakar Senior Sri Lankan journalist Nalaka Gunawardene, who lives in Colombo, points out that “global wire services have been generating impressionistic coverage from Sri Lanka in recent weeks”. An example is the often used short-cut, blaming the “Chinese debt-trap” for the country’s current problems. He points out that this is “simply not supported by data: international sovereign bonds issued since 2007 make up over a third of Sri Lanka’s foreign debt, and borrowings from multilateral agencies are larger than from any bilateral source”. Reducing the explanation to either blaming one country, or the pandemic, paints a very partial picture.
Additionally, Gunawardene says, “I so wish the Indian journalists and broadcasters who visit Sri Lanka for short periods of time on crisis coverage would expand their circle of sources beyond the usual suspects in official and cocktail circuits. We are tired of seeing the same few (well-connected) academics and activists giving the same or similar soundbites for years. Sri Lanka now has a new breed of smart and articulate younger economists, political scientists, international relations analysts and others, who offer refreshing new analyses of entrenched problems. Why not seek out and capture their views, too?”
