മറുനാട്ടില്‍

മാവേലി നാട് വാണീടും കാലം
മാനുഷരെല്ലാരും ഒന്നു പോലെ
ആമോദത്തോടെ വസിക്കും കാലം
ആപത്തങ്ങാര്‍ക്കുമോട്ടില്ല താനും
ആധികള്‍ വ്യാധികള്‍ ഒന്നുമില്ല ..........

Indian reporters finally asked a question.
To Putin. About Modi.
In Moscow.
In 12 years they never asked Modi one direct question in India.
But they flew to the Kremlin to ask his friend for a reference letter.
This is not journalism.

@jawharsircar The Melody toffees cost ₹20 at any kirana store.
The five-country tour cost taxpayers crores.
The "Melody Meloni Modi" reel: priceless Indian media propaganda.
Meloni unfollowing: free of charge.
Some diplomatic investments have better ROI than others.

[Joseph Paul @yeldopaul]

The "Melody Meloni Modi" reel was made, promoted, pushed viral by India's finest media professionals.
Today Meloni unfollowed Modi on Instagram.
The only people who got anything from that reel: the media houses that produced it.
The candy was real though. #RenameIndianMedia

Modi told citizens: avoid foreign trips, conserve foreign exchange, austerity please.
Modi then: 5-country tour.
Italy stop: Colosseum visit, Melody toffees gift, viral reel produced by Indian media.
Meloni then: unfollows Modi on Instagram.
The reel aged like milk. #melodimoment

Giorgia Meloni unfollowed Modi on Instagram.
The same Modi who just flew to Italy with a packet of Melody toffees.
The same Modi who told us to avoid foreign trips to save foreign exchange.
The same media that called it "Melody Meloni Modi" and made it viral. #Melodi #Melody

@thewire_in We are for the India that existed (imperfectly, messily, beautifully) when its journalists asked questions, its scientists launched satellites, its writers disturbed the comfortable, and its citizens were called citizens instead of owls, donkeys, and cockroaches.

@PriyankKharge Indian journalist sees government doing something wrong:
Option A: Report it
Option B: Lose access, advertising, license, owner's contracts, their job
This is not cowardice. This is a cage.
Blame the cage builders, not the birds.

@reporter_tv The painter's assistant doesn't paint.
He primes the wall, whitewash using a wide brush, so the artist never has to explain the wall.
The Indian journalist is the painter's assistant.
The government is the artist.
The news channel is the primed wall for Govt.

@mannan_pathan 40 million Indians live abroad. We have no vote in Indian elections.
We send remittance that underwrites the economy.
Our reputations abroad are damaged by hate exported on WhatsApp.
We watch our home be managed by people we cannot vote out.
And they call us the parasites.

Indian media covered a Norwegian woman's Twitter for 2 full days.
In those same 2 days fuel prices went up 3 times.
I searched for one journalist who asked our PM one direct question in 12 years.
I failed.
