C'mmon that is clutching the straws. I just had a good look at those 2 tweets and any educated person can see the agenda.

Tweet 1 by Ishtiaq ul haq was posted today with an image that someone is flying from Nur Khan airport. No video..nothing just an image of a person. How do we know if he was flying from Nur Khan base or if he was flying at all. Image dont say anything.

Then when the above was highlighted by @Devadwal bhai, tweet 2 was posted of a plane taking off and the video was taken from terrace far away. How do you know it had taken off from Nur Khan runway? LOL.

Matlab kuch bhi

@The Bald Eagle unfortunately has a habbit of posting fake stories. Pls dnt call us legends to fact check of such blatant videos. The fact that he is trying so hard shows how badly Pak lost this battle...LOL.

How the Indian Media Amplified Falsehoods in the Drumbeat of War​


During the conflict between India and Pakistan, even some long-trusted outlets reported unverified information and fabricated stories.


How the Indian Media Amplified Falsehoods in the Drumbeat of War​

During the conflict between India and Pakistan, even some long-trusted outlets reported unverified information and fabricated stories.

The news reports chronicled India’s overwhelming successes: Indian attacks had struck a Pakistani nuclear base, downed two Pakistani fighter jets and blasted part of Pakistan’s Karachi port, the country’s oil and trade lifeline.

Each piece of information was highly specific, but none of it was true.

Disinformation on social media in the days during and since India and Pakistan’s intense military confrontation last week has been overwhelming. Sifting fact from fiction has been nearly impossible on both sides of the border because of the sheer volume of falsehoods, half-truths, memes, misleading video footage and speeches manipulated by artificial intelligence.

But some of that flood also made its way into the mainstream media, a development that alarmed analysts monitoring the evolution of outlets in India once trusted for their independence. The race to break news and a jingoistic approach to reporting reached a fever pitch during the four-day conflict, as anchors and commentators became cheerleaders for war between two nuclear-armed states. Some well-known TV networks aired unverified information or even fabricated stories amid the burst of nationalistic fervor.

And news outlets reported on a supposed strike on a Pakistani nuclear base that was rumored to have caused radiation leaks. They shared detailed maps that purported to show where the strikes had been. But there was no evidence to uphold these claims. The story of the Indian Navy attacking Karachi was also widely circulated. It has since been discredited.

“When we think of misinformation, we think of anonymous people, of bots online, where you never know what the source of the thing is,” said Sumitra Badrinathan, an assistant professor of political science at American University who studies misinformation in South Asia. Social media platforms were also rife with misinformation during India’s 2019 conflict with Pakistan, but what was notable this time, Dr. Badrinathan said, was that “previously credible journalists and major media news outlets ran straight-up fabricated stories.”

“When previously trusted sources become disinformation outlets, it’s a really large problem,” she said.

The misinformation shared on mainstream media platforms about the conflict between India and Pakistan is the latest blow to what was once a vibrant journalism scene in India.

Warring sides have spread lies and propaganda for as long as there has been armed conflict. And mainstream news outlets have not been immune from presenting their countries’ battlefield efforts in a favorable light or from, at times, rushing to publish information that later turns out to be incorrect.

But social media has exponentially increased the potential for misinformation. And in India, there has been a steady erosion of free speech since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014. Many news outlets have been pressured into suppressing news damaging to the government’s reputation. Others, including many big television networks, have come to promote the government’s policies. (Some small independent online news publications have pursued more accountable journalism, but their reach is limited.)

One of India’s most prominent journalists and an anchor at the India Today television channel, Rajdeep Sardesai, apologized on air to viewers last week for running reports about Pakistani jets being shot down, news that had not been “proven at the moment,” he said.

On his YouTube video blog on Saturday, he again apologized, saying that some of the falsehoods were part of a deliberate campaign by the “right-wing disinformation machine under the guise of national interest,” and that 24-hour news channels can sometimes fall into the trap.

 
I have just seen the most incredible thing.

2019 skirmish, where when we shot the Indian jet down, immediately after it the Indians shot their own helicopter down thinking its a Pakistani aircraft and which resulted in 6 deaths. An Indian on Twitter brought this up and said BJP still hasn't shown accountaiblity for that incident.....and had hordes of Indians asking 'source?' 'what's your source?'

How on earth can they not know about this? Their government really has them blinkered.
 
Pakistani source: *exists*

Indian: No way this is true



Indian source: Karachi, Multan, Lahore have been destroyed and captured and sent to alternate dimension.

They are playing on the insecurities Hindus seem to have over their religion being seen as a soft touch. Instead of taking pride over concepts like Ahimsa and yoga, Hindus seem to yearn to be seen as aggressive and domineering. Obviously you aren't going to do that against a bigger power, so the most obvious approach is to show it against someone you think is easier target. Unfortunately they can't even do that right.
