But this was not it, they openly propagated an anti-hindu line and undermined the Indian military and India’s place in Jammu and Kashmir.Another factor that each left-wing and the purported mainstream media have engaged in is manipulative and selective reporting of hate crimes. Almost like a raging storm, the left-media singled out Hindus and turned them into the perpetrators of hate crimes towards minorities, with the main focus being on Muslims. All of a sudden, there have been ‘mob-lynchings’ being alleged everywhere in the nation with Hindus being the perpetrators and Muslims all the time the victims.

Meanwhile, Tfipost not solely busts myths and leftist lies but in addition units the narrative, not just for the nationwide viewers however a extremely partaking International viewers and concurrently exposes the sinister campaigns of the left-liberal foyer.Over the final seven years, there have been quite a few cases the place leftist portals have chugged down the ‘anti-India’ hate potion and have spewed venom upon the individuals.During the listening to of the Kulbhushan Jadhav case on the International Court of Justice, the Pakistani facet produced The Quint’s story on the Indian prisoner as a definitive proof towards Indian claims.The Quint had revealed the extremely objectionable article on January 06, 2018 and after receiving a extreme backlash had taken it down.

Although the slangs propagated did catch on however sadly, aside from profitable meaningless battles within the echo chambers of Twitter, it amounted to nothing in the actual world.Moreover, counter adjectives have been summoned and the most important darling of the left institution—a selected particular person of the Gandhi household, continues to be trying to erase it off, which sadly has now caught with him for all times.The left-wing media portals use established left media channels resembling NDTV as a crutch. Both have developed a symbiotic relationship and preserve one another’s morale excessive. The hatred for PM Modi has transcended right into a hatred for the thought of India. And there isn’t a profitable over the legion of them.When a rival faction can’t win a direct battle, it typically engages in proxy wars to make up for misplaced floor. And recently, the left ecosystem has accomplished precisely that. The greenhorn right-wing ecosystem is towards a system that has gamed governments and the media trade for the reason that daybreak of time.As reported by TFI final 12 months, India’s prime right-wing media shops (TFIPOST, Swarajya and OpIndia) have been ‘blacklisted’ by Wikipedia.
