Just one example from recent past. The Wire is considered "reputable" english online news source but multiple times they have been caught fabricating grave evidence (even criminal) to plant stories against BJP (supposedly Hindu political party). Here was their latest gaffe https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/23/23419366/the-wire-meta-indian-news-outlet-retracts-story https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/23/23419366/the-wire-meta-i.... Had it been any other country, such outlet would have been criticized to oblivions if not under legal action. But no! they are still the doyens of truth :) If BJP (current ruling party) even sneezes in their general direction, your ears will fall off hearing about fascism in India, even on HN :D
- throwaway384629 3y agoAre you trying to imply that there was no legal action taken against The Wire? Didn't BJP got The Wire office raided by police after that news report? [1] BTW, mention of "The Wire" does not answer parent's question. "Why would Indian media be anti Hindu when the almost all of the 1. Electorate, 2. Government, 3. Corporations, 4. Media houses, 5. Rich are Hindu?" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/01/indian-police-raid-the-wire-news-site-office-over-retracted-article-bjp https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/01/indian-police-...
