In the age of War of misinformation, Mr. Goebbels’s theorem gets modified as below:
“YOU HAVE TO SUFFICIENTLY MAKE VIRAL IN SOCIAL MEDIA A LIE—PEOPLE WILL TAKE IT AS TRUTH”.
Somewhere between Movie fantasy and Rawalpindi’s failure in this war, Pakistan’s latest blockbuster was shoot in their Social Media:
“Five Indian Fighter Jets were Shot Down. …”
The Director of the film?? Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Janab Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
That script he read aloud, and were repeated, and echoed by living ‘HOORS’ of Pakistani Media, in thousands of channels —except, of course, there were no videos, no wreckage, no photos, no pilots, alive arrested or dead, no cockpit V.R. to back those claims!
Just pure theatrics by some actors and actresses, in front of light, camera, and sound!
Do you remember a line from a Shakespearean Drama? “… A tale told by an idiot, full of sound, and fury—signifying nothing!”
And the obnoxious game of purchased journalism by an Indian Newspaper: ‘Hindu’. However, they hurriedly deleted, what they posted!!!
What Hindu posted, may conjure up in the innocent mind of readers as below: –
“Three Indian fighter jets were shot down in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Source-GOI.” Actually, Hindu used the pair of words— “Government Sources”—and you know, this ‘GOVERNMENT SOURCE’, is a product of crafted hallucination which can’t be revealed by HINDU!
However, that was a very short-lived moment of glory of ‘HINDU’.
This is what I always thought about ‘HINDU’— it is a camouflaged anti-India paper, sometime hide behind ‘Secularism’—sometime behind ‘Bold, Neutral Journalism’—actually it is a decadent decedent slave of British-USA axis, that very axis created, and bolstered ‘Pakistan’.
USA only came in Pakistan’s rescue this time also! USA bailed out Pakistan in 1965, and in 1971 as well.
Hindu became a vector for misinformation disease spread by Pakistani Media. Or, HINDU may have printed a message sent by a paid Journalist in Pakistan, also may be working for ‘HINDU’… who knows?!?
And now see the consequence: —
A CNN journalist, asked the Pakistani Defense Minister for evidence. And out came the Holy Grail— “Indian media reports.”
This was an excellent example in elliptical referencing with multiple foci: Pakistani officials quoting Indian Newspaper quoting Pakistani columnists quoting social media. The CNN anchor looked like struck by a bolt from the blue!
