Sorry to post this here, but I cant post in the chit chat forum, this is a report from ABC Australia. It's a pity Indians like me can't trust our government and the Indian Main Stream Media. I voted for the BJP and they are in charge, I regret that dscision after what I have seen, this a a crule joke on me, my family and all Indians, seeing Modi preach to the world how India beat the virus. What was he doing for a year? I know he was stoking religion and prasing crowds for coming out int force to support him in his political rallies. The buck stops with Modi, but nothing is going to happen to him, life is cheap in India, I now realise this, I am sad, hartbroken and depressed seeing everything that is happeneing in our country, my country, the country I love. But I know that nothing is going to change, Modi fiddled while India burned. I am very angry at the moment, my family in India is suffering my cousin has COVID.

Lol at u for believing that this aid thing will ever reach those who need.  All the money ends up back in the pockets of politicians & corrupt babus. 

Who are these politicians, do they have names?

I mean everyone involved is corrupt af..  No aid has ever reached poor & never will in this country.  I just hope ventilators & Oxygen cylinders reach their destination though.

looks like every journalist wants the government to send personal e-mail and voice messages and inform them about how aid is being handled. Such kind of irresponsible journalism in the time of crisis should be ignored. 

Imo, we should ignore any kind of journalism that criticizes the government

The coverage of the third world like India and Africa is especially not genuine and condescending by these so called liberal foreign media - BBC, ABC, Nytimes , WaPo etc. They portray the same view as the Lutyens LeLis of India, CNN thinks India is only represented by people like BDutt, Rana Ayyub, Vidya Krishnan etc. For Africa, the worst of stories get highlighted as if there is no civilized system in Africa - universities, medical equipment, professionals like epidemiologists, etc, only the west has these ideas. Mediocre journalism from these famous outlets.

Hyperbole and platitudes- come back with something more original, I don’t even follow these channels. Yes, seen BBC over the years, they are deshadrohi, they hate India and next they hate Hindus.

No, absolutely not. However there is this pakistani gentleman Dr Masood Raza. I recommend everyone to view his channel.

 

 

Yes, Its a Pakistani guy but for first time, I was impressed that how he explains it in very simple terms. Respects. @Autonomous @Alam_dar

 

 

 

Have you ever wondered how foreign media outlets are so quick to make a mountain out of every thing that happens in developing world?

Try showing a dead person in a hospital or a funeral setting in US. It is banned as per law in US,  It is called HIPAA

 

https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-regulations/index.html

 

And these US channels are liberally flaunting it when it comes to India/Africa, They show funeral pyres like it is a spectacle, and our junta is happy that foreign media is showing the truth. The dead also have privacy laws. Nobody cares in Indian media for them. I would say the same if they show burial sites getting crowded. At least leave the dead alone. Vultures

They don't have the money or time to invest in, even for a min, in being factual about developing world. They rely on their trusted friends and sepoys of the media in those countries. Whatever they pass it on, these people spout.

Some Distant relative of the victims would be suing the Pants off the media house if they saw such  pictures in the media involving their family .

 

Partly probably  because they love them.

Actually, As per Dr Masood Raza, tge various terms he explains, you will find that they actively invest in spreading misinformation to achieve a set post colonial goal using various tools specially influential and respected local population.

 

Their is now a new demand among young population to free the world from neo colonialism.

 

PS: All he has done in his series of lectures is explain basic terms. Where it applies, Its upto individual scholar and his experiences

Ignore it, no point in expecting foreign media or our liberal media to be considerate of the dead.

Privacy rules applies only to first-worlders, @coffee_rules  .  I even cringe to see pictures of impoverished kids from Africa.  Who gave the western journos permission to take those pics?

Pakistanis should understand something. Karma is a b** :). India will handle covid there were lapses and there would be reckoning for the politicians who made this so, in Pakistan there will be death and it will be in vain. See that what you get for living simply with hate, you lose ability to look inward and reform.
