Earlier, newspapers breaking a scam story meant all #TV channels would amplify it. The @IndianExpress story on #MohanYadav land scam hasn't sparked that reaction. Today, editors are telling reporters to avoid digging, do safe stuff. #News cycle is broken.

Humanity is a privilege not for me, says #UmarKhalid, in jail for 6 years without trial - as judges delay, adjourn, (recuse themselves) or deny him bail without a trial in sight. "It has been hard to not unravel completely." @guardian

Interesting..what exactly does Mr. Rajagopal's journalism and criticism of the government have to do with his passport and voting rights?? Unless...it does.

[IndiaToday @IndiaToday]

"I'm not asking them to give me a passport or reject it because I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere now. The point is there should be policy clarity. The government, or either the judiciary, the executive, or the legislature, should clarify whether SIR data can be used for this purpose," says R. Rajagopal, former editor of The Telegraph.

#SunilShetty missed a crucial part of the story: his prodigious 15-month-old granddaughter didn't start with a monosyllable or two syllable sounds. The first word she uttered was a complete word (!): Modi-ji.
P.S. She probably picked up from dadu uttering it all the time.

सुनील शेट्टी ने हाल ही में बताया है कि उनकी 15 महीने की नातिन इवारा प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की भक्त है। वो रोज उनकी तस्वीर देखती है और उन्हें गणेश मंदिर पर चढ़े लड्डू लाकर खिलाती है।

सुनील शेट्टी ने हाल ही में टाइम्स नाऊ को दिए इंटरव्यू में कहा है, ‘मैंने हमेशा कहा है कि मैं नरेंद्र मोदी का बहुत बड़ा फैन हूं। मैं किसी पार्टी की बात नहीं कर रहा, मैं लीडर की बात कर रहा हूं, जो मुझमें जोश भरता है। मुझे जितना मेरे देश से प्यार है, उतना उस इंसान से प्यार है। उनमें कुछ तो बात है। आप मानोगे नहीं, मेरी पोती 15 महीने की है। उसकी नैनी ने एक बार एयरपोर्ट में उसे उनकी (मोदी जी की) तस्वीर दिखाई थी। आज वो हर रोज सुबह आती है, उसके पास एक साईं बाबा की बुक है, जिसमें मोदी जी की बड़ी सी फोटो है, वो उसे खोलती है, मोदी जी-मोदी जी बोलती है।’

The Maharashtra State Council of Examination (MSCE), Pune, has postponed the Maharashtra Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) 2026, which was scheduled to take place tomorrow, June 28, across the state.

The decision follows an early-morning raid by the Bhiwandi Police, which exposed an alleged question paper leak racket.

According to an official notification released by the MSCE, the Bhiwandi Police acted on confidential intelligence in the early hours of Saturday, June 27.

A raid was conducted at a suspect examination centre where several individuals were found holding confidential details regarding the examination papers.

In the egg-in-midday-meal debate, the most insensitive comments I’ve seen so far:

“There is no malnutrition in 🇮🇳 .”
“They can eat egg at home.”
“Protein intake isn’t the government’s job.”

I served on a school committee where 10-11-year-olds chewed gutkha to suppress hunger.

Dear @TheTweetOfGod, the God-population ratio in India is already formidable. Our pantheon is doing the best it can to manage the cosmos; India is a whole new ball game. Try to help TACO Make America Sane Again.

India, it's been too long since I reached out and made a personal appeal to join your pantheon. If you give Me a chance you'll see I'm just as arbitrary, cruel and unprovable as any of your 330 million gods. And I'll throw in my son for free! He'll die for your sins! I'm serious!

Any surprise no one's watching these so-called #news channels. And it's not just because they are competing with #youtube, online content, and #Netflix.
#Broadcast #media has its credibility blown to smithereens today.

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

During a debate on the Ram Mandir donation controversy, Aaj Tak invited "Gen Z" audience to question the leaders on stage. But the so called audience participation appears far from neutral. One of the young men repeatedly handed the microphone is Deepak Kashyap Mishra, who has been regularly seen questioning opposition leaders in similar debates. Another participant, Shreyansh, is also associated with ABVP.
Anchors like @anjanaomkashyap routinely direct the microphone to these individuals, allowing them to challenge the opposition while defending the BJP government.

The ecosystem of defence operates at three levels:
1. The Channel will select topics to corner the opposition and defend/praise the govt.

2. The anchors themselves aggressively question the opposition and shield the government from scrutiny.

3. Even the 'independent audience' members invited to participate are supporters or members linked to ABVP/BJP
