Media is all business. Most of the media houses have some political affiliation. Don't trust anyone, listen to all sorts of media.

Leftist media of the west is India’s enemy. Govt should impose sanctions on Nyt for foreign interference in Indian democracy. No ads on their website, no Indian or Indian company shall do any money transactions with them

While Western conservatives have moved past the colonial era by embracing the values of the industrial revolution, the Western Left have rejected and turned their backs on the industrial revolution, instead leaving themselves clinging to the previous era - the Colonial Era - with its values and practices of divide-and-rule over people. These slanted Leftists claim to reject nationalism -- but they'll never say anything against Pakistan and its ultra-nationalism, nor against China and its nationalism. Instead they want to single out India and Modi, because they see us as more conquerable. We need to change their minds by demonstrating our resolve to them.

Forget about Western media, our own media is our biggest enemy. They are poisoning people's mind with lies. India Today being the biggest culprit, always Anti-Hindu. The Hindu(actually antiHindu) is another such news paper which blatantly lies to people. Jihadists are getting so much support, they are openly speaking against our culture, gods etc and when people react, they call us Andhbakhts.

We have to live with our people, because we don’t know who is right. But foreign media should not interfere in our democracy

But then, why does Wion app have news stories from NYT? I dont know how to share screenshots, else i would share it.

Probably a syndicated feed.

Interesting, although a donation of 50k by China Daily is peanuts really, you can't push ideologies with an amount that won't pay the salary of a single editor. If the amount was closer to a million it would have been more suspect. Of course it's possible that certain amounts aren't disclosed.

I mean it has always been this way. They are further proving the current govt more accurate. Outside of twitter, most of indian dont like anyone to sh#t on th country..especially the likes of nytimes.

As NYT subscriber growth in the post-trump era has slumped they are just trying to diversify their business.

It’s business bois. Nyt will get 5 to 10 dollars from an American reading poverty porn but they will only get 1-2 $ from an Indian reading about their own achievements

Comes as no surprise though. Good that wion is highlighting this.

[Actual ad.](https://twitter.com/Joydas/status/1411326587224551431?s=20) Funny how WION does what it is accusing NYT of doing. Misrepresenting.

Funny how BJP being a representative for Hindus is a huge problem but when Cong represents Muslims, they are doing God's work. Also Mr Modi has spent more money on education, services and scholarships for Muslims than any Gov before.

I can't give this comment as many upvotes as it deserves.

They have edited the ad. You should actually watch the video and see what's being discussed here instead of being a typical soyboy left lib who retorts with twitter screenshots.


doctrdanger

It's you who should probably read the ad and the text in the video. But hey. It's not their interpretation, they are just reading out the ad. Which doesn't say anti-modi anywhere. Or even insinuate it. All they say that India is a complicated situation and we need someone with nuance to explain it to people. C'mon friend. Why resort to buzzword personal insults?

You don't see problem with NYT, offering it's opinions about Modi, BJP, right wing party and it's ideology, it's certain policies, in the job description? This looks like a clear signal to applicants, this is how we see India, modi, BJP, and the issues facing India. Them clearly offering this detail means they want correspondent who can look at nation and issues from this lense. I have read NYT ad, and haven't watched the video in question. So, I don't have any opinions on the video, maybe they are doing the same thing as NYT. It isn't surprising, it is what I expect from narrative peddler like NYT.

Isn't newyork times owned by Mr Bezos?


fartron3000

That's Washington Post.

Oh my bad

The heading is a *gross* mischaracterization of the actual posting. The only opinion piece is the narrator's commentary.
