Manipur Horror | Who is responsible? Silent TV Media? Or a Silent Government? TV Newsance 219

#manipur #manipurcrisis #seemahaidar It's important to 'polticize' Manipur. It's important to talk about Manipur. It's important to ask questions. A chilling video emerged from Manipur this week. And finally our star anchors and Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke their silence on what's been happening in the state. The violence in Manipur has been ongoing for over two months now but it took ghastly visuals of two women being paraded naked and assaulted for us to wake up. The story of violence against women in Manipur came to light thanks to the efforts of digital media organizations like The Print and Scroll. Meanwhile, what about TV media? We look at how they failed public interest yet again by choosing to focus more on Seema Haider and her ‘love story’. As the prime minister made his first speech on Manipur and the issue became too big to ignore for our prime time anchors, we saw them follow the same trope of comparing the violence in Manipur to the situation in Bengal, Rajasthan or Chattisgarh. When not doing that , they appealed to their viewers and the opposition to not politicize the issue for their own interest. 00:00 - 03:32 — what happened in Manipur? 0:33 - 4:47 — don't spread fake news 4:48 - 7:05 - Seema Haider gets more coverage 7:06 - 7:49 - Aaj Tak AI anchor 7:50 - 10:15 — no discussion on Manipur 10:16 - 12:22 — breaking news champion fail 12:23 - 13:14 — gullu, the meme 13:15 - 13:50 - news18's seema obsession 13:51 - 17:22 — how to save BJP 17:23 - 20:59 — Who is the govt saving?
