The Indian Express @IndianExpress report on the Election Commission @ECISVEEP has been fact-checked by the ECI itself.
While the report highlighted 14 objections over 10 months, the Commission said focusing on selected internal notes while ignoring its larger body of decisions, reforms and nearly 40 new initiatives presents only “one part of the picture.”
The ECI further stated that its decisions over the past year were taken unanimously by the Full Commission.
So when a report fits perfectly into the Opposition’s attack on the ECI, but leaves out the Commission’s larger response, should we call it journalism or selective narrative?
