The ruthless murder of a Karnataka Congress corporator’s daughter by her “jilted” lover in broad daylight sent shockwaves across the society. While many news outlets called out the perpetrator by his name, the leftist propaganda outlet, The News Minute, maintained its “secular standards” by avoiding calling the accused by his name or mentioning his religion. They stuck to “stalker”.
Here is how The News Minute reported two news stories – omit the perpetrator’s name/religion if it is a minority but mention it if the alleged attacker is Hindu.
Hideous hypocrisy in headlines from @thenewsminute. They deliberately omit the killer's name and faith, as 'Fayaz' doesn't fit their propaganda narrative. pic.twitter.com/ETP8vQ8we7

The headlines from @thenewsminute consistently employ a biased narrative, unfairly vilifying the Hindus while whitewashing the religious identity of minority perpetrators. Remember Shraddha Walkar? Check this headline as well as the other headlines. (1/2) https://t.co/MYKtqoCtZf pic.twitter.com/li4J9imkGF

The above examples villify the Hindu and show the “minority” community as the perpetual victim.
Upon being called out, editor-in-chief of the “news” portal, Dhanya Rajendran shared screenshots of incidents of stalking and claimed they reported it in the same manner, irrespective of who the perpetrator or his background was.

But netizens repeatedly pointed out to her the follies and the hypocrisy that The News Minute indulged in, in the name of “journalism ethics” and secularism.
Epic Secular Journalism by @thenewsminute
– Neha's murderer has no *name*
– He is just a *stalker*
– But *Muslim* Organisations demanding strict punishment
– Against *accused* who has no name or religion. pic.twitter.com/tR6Du7YgtH

Here is another example. A few days ago, at a Catholic school in Telangana, the principal did not permit a few students to enter the school as they were wearing saffron clothes owing to Hanuman Deeksha penance. The News Minute hid the real story, peddled half-truths, and villified the Hindus by calling them a “mob” and that they forced the principal to chant Jai Shri Ram, etc.
In another instance, a few ago in Bengaluru, three men were assaulted by Muslims for chanting Jai Shri Ram. The News Minute did not even report this news on their portal. Had it been the other way around, the headlines would have demonised Hindus severely.
This happened at Bengaluru 3 days back, and Indian Express doesn't identify the two of them as Ms – despite being the fact that this was clearly an act of violence on religious grounds.
TNM never reported this news, this is how they show their solidarity, by maintainining… https://t.co/ptBd36METB pic.twitter.com/wqgmDo1Nk6

These are just a few examples of the hypocrisy of the Congressi mouthpiece which peddles the Leftist agenda all the time. Do read this list of 9 instances where TNM whitewashed incidents when the perpetrators belonged to a specific community.
