In India, if their TV studios are not burnt to the ground when this lot goes, the media owners will just hire a different set of anchors and move on
📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.
First in my bloodline to witness an Indian minister telling the world, "We are slave-like, we don't know what work-life balance means, let us work for you and make you rich"
For being "seen with a 13-year-old girl"?
We are what, Afghanistan now?
In a dramatic turn in the Sarsuna shocking naked parade case, police paraded three accused barefoot and without clothes during crime scene reconstruction in Behala to today.
An 18-year-old youth, his father and a 19-year-old friend were allegedly assaulted, threatened at gunpoint and forced to walk naked for around 50 metres after the youth was seen with a 13-year-old girl. The girl’s parents and maternal uncle have been arrested. Police are probing the alleged involvement of others.

Cuando los brasileños se dieron cuenta que Musk y Zuckerberg estaban manipulando el algoritmo para interferir en elecciones de su país se volcaron hacia las RRSS y la llenaron de videos de Lula elaborados con IA.
Fenómeno social a estudiarse por décadas.
"People fail to understand why they're pushing alcohol in Ladakh while making Gujarat a dry state"
Yes, why?
DISPUTES ON THE LADAKH BORDER
Unlike in Arunachal Pradesh in Ladakh it's not with China. It's with Ladakh's own LG VK Saxena ji who is constantly firing alcohol cannons to... 'fight drug abuse in Ladakh'.
Mothers & Women's Alliances are protesting now for the 6th day against the forcible opening of bars in villages, homestays & guesthouses & near schools & temples.
Unfortunately very few media houses are covering this crisis in Ladakh.

A year ago, #SulemanPathan was lynched by a mob that included his closest Hindu friends in Maharashtra’s Jamner.
The Supreme Court had recommended speedy six-month trials in such cases.
A year later, most of the accused are out on bail and the trial is yet to begin. The family faces threats and setbacks. Its hopes for justice are dissipating.

The world is beginning to heal. What a man, what a life
Brazil's left-wing President Lula has celebrated with his family and allies, after being elected for a fourth term. He defeated Flávio Bolsonaro - the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest. Read more: bbc.in/4zWY8g0
Has it become difficult to find living babas to endorse him? Why does he now have to dig up dead ones for approval?

Yes. Intrigued why the writer doesn’t flag ‘accountability.’
If young people demand decent classrooms, or teachers, or that exams be conducted without question papers being leaked in advance, they are demanding basic #accountability.
When citizens are asking that they be not knocked off electoral rolls and denied the right to vote, again it is a demand for accountability.
The question: why is accountability seen as necessarily #leftwing ? Or disruptive?
Accountability is about demanding that those tasked to do a certain job do it.
It is neither left-wing nor right-wing.
Nor is it capitalist or socialist.
Governments of all shades have to be held accountable.
