[S.T.D.]

That the majority of Indian media don't exhibit even an iota of journalistic ethics such as truthfulness, objectivity, impartiality, and public accountability is well known.

But Times of India has reached a new nadir.

In AP, the congress party is carrying out a political witch hunt against Jagan Reddy, the leader of YSR congress. YSR, while he lived, was a popular politician credited for the revival of congress in AP. There are a spate of corruption charges against him but all was fine as long as he was with congress. After his demise, a struggle emerged between congress national leadership and Jagan, son of YSR. Obviously no one shall be allowed to get bigger than the Gandhi family and congress is using CBI and other executive branches to silence Jagan.

In the backdrop of CBI inquiries on Jagan, the media is being used to mobilize public opinion against Jagan.

A couple of days ago, Times published an article on supposedly oppulent life of Jagan. The idea is to show how Jagan is stinking rich in a country where a significant majority live in utter poverty. This is the easiest trick in the world - mobilizing socialist rage against rich political opponents!

The article shows a group of photos supposedly taken inside Jagan's residence and other properties that he own.

This is all fine only that the alert social media (i.e. citizens of the blogosphere and twitter world) quickly found out that most, if not all, of these pictures were fake.

This is the extent to which certain political parties of India and their puppet media will go to undermine political rivals. Times of India pulled down the article but only after the expose.

In any developed country, such blatant lying will be frowned upon. In India, there is not a discussion in main-stream because they are all in cahoots!

The futute of India looks pretty bleak!
