The News Minute’s Selective Reporting And Blatant Hypocrisy When Perpetrators Of Crime Belong To “The Community That Can’t Be Named”

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. 

 

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.

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. 

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.
