@washingtonpost WaPo framed this headline and pictures to mislead people. They intentionally avoided posting the more recent pictures of the pool with algae, goose poop etc and also did not mention thrice the amount Obama spent on it with a poor outcome.

@dmuthuk Making an informed person like you believe that what is a usual practice from the prior administration is something new by this government is either the success of their PR or your blind belief without verification.

[Bala @skorpien]

@dmuthuk Always take such news with a grain of salt. This may not be propaganda, but it has the hallmarks of fake news (story coming from a friend, someone I know, etc., instead of a first-person post with receipts).

@avidseries ABC would frame this news in a completely different way if Gore were a Republican. His fearmongering was no less nonsensical than some anti-vax theories from right-wingers, but media coverage of such nonsense differs, which explains why trust in mainstream media is declining.

@offl_Lawrence Why invoke God for everything? Srireddy said in her interview that you told her that Ragavendhra was watching what you were doing to her; and he would not forgive you if you do not give chance to her after she agreed to your wishes.

@Akshita_N @IndiaToday TVK strategy is to use influencers and media people like Akshita to distract people with fanboy reels and blame DMK.

There’s a reason numbers are questionable. The IMF (in its 2025 Article IV consultation) assigned India’s national accounts a “C” grade (second-lowest), citing methodological shortcomings, an outdated base year (at the time of assessment), reliance on certain price indices, and gaps in informal sector and production-expenditure reconciliation.

@dmuthuk @MarioNawfal Mario is known for spreading fake and unverified news and was demonetised multiple times, including Elon disputing Mario a few times. Take what he says with a grain of salt.

@Chinmayi The system is built to punish good deeds from honest individuals and encourage corrupt practices from dishonest people. One of the reasons why many NRIs won't return for good even if India offers cheaper cost of living.

@dmuthuk Transparency in tender without interference of ruling party or rowdyism is the only way but it was not possible in the past. If TVK government can make it happen, it deserves credit.

@CBSNews @JaredOchacher When the media says "don't know", it just means they don't want to know. The same people who claim the origins are unknown in the media would have found out the origins immediately if it were an inflatable balloon of Obama or some liberal leader.

Bias blinds you. There are many issues that need attention. For example, Indian deposits in Swiss banks tripled since 2014, which he promised to bring back. Mega defaults by crony capitalists increased multifold with no accountability. Corrupt politicians from other parties are accepted into BJP.

@Akshita_N Name-calling a responder who wrote a logical and respectful reply to a post troll is a low for anyone in a public forum, and it is beneath the profession of a journalist whose job is to engage in public discourse in a professional manner.

@nytimes @nytopinion NYT is one step closer to writing “Why sex scandals, misogyny, and Nazi tattoos are good for the USA and the world”

[Bala @skorpien]

@CNN CNN leaves out the inconvenient truth about what they did to lose their citizenship.

@dmuthuk TN losing to AP in investments is a fact and a valid criticism. How is this a narrative and hatred for Vijay?

[Bala @skorpien]

@ABC Her candidacy excites republicans more than democrats.

[Bala @skorpien]

@washingtonpost Collins isn’t a misogynist, and she wasn’t sexting anyone or covering her body with Nazi tattoos. She wasn’t doing weird things inside porta-potties. That dynamic is also a clear disagreement.

@nytimes Take the opinions of a disgruntled employee about his employer with a grain of salt. An employee who rejected the invites from his employer to discuss issues and resolve them in private, but chose to berate and insult them in public deserves termination in any industry.
