most news media in India and Pakistan are not free
in India, Modi supported capitalists have turned it into “lapdogs“
in Pakistan, military exerts total control over what gets published
both media indulged in jingoism during the May 7 to May 10 war
but the Indian news media was way ahead in the race
some of the unbeatable victorious announcements from the India side:
- News Nations declared 5 Pakistani cities devastated
- TV 9 blared 25 Pakistani cities destroyed
- Barkha Dutt announced Karachi Sea Port attacked
- Karachi under Indian control
- Republic World said Pakistan Premier “taken to a safehouse”
- Zee News proclaimed Pakistan army chief under arrest
- …
Ramon Magsaysay Award winner Ravish Kumar wondered:
which TV news channel should get the award
News Nation TV channel for declaring PM Sharif was on the run or
Zee TV News channel which Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif?
without crossing border, Indian army conquered Pakistani cities
and so on
only Indian news media could achieve this valiant feat
