TV news channels have started bemoaning their targeting at protest sites, complaining that they are not being allowed to do their thing unhindered. What goes without saying of course is that "their thing" is not news. It is propaganda. So when a TV studio skunk says "media"...
...is being hounded and hindered from doing its job at protests, what it actually means is that their ability to commit hateful propaganda is being hindered. That their plan to go interview farmers, and then edit it to look like they are not farmers is being interrupted.
Of course, they will continue to try to do those things. It's just that they are pissed that it is not supremely easy anymore. Their bag of tricks doesn't come as a surprise to anyone except the willfully blind and that takes the edge off their divisive blade a little bit. But...
...by and large, what their complaining really means is this: "These protesters are not letting us abuse and misrepresent them and they are very well-prepared to thwart our attempts to do so. This is causing us inconvenience and we are not happy." In truth, there is only one...
...group that is responsible for the loss of face being suffered by Godi channels right now. And that group is the channels themselves. If you are someone who works in these lynch mobs, mend your ways so that you may be seen as media once more. Your reputation is in your hands.
