Recently, some farmers protesting against the Narendra Modi governmentâs farm laws at Singhu on Delhiâs border told
Newslaundry that they no longer trusted âGodi Mediaâ, derisively referring to mainstream media outlets, especially TV news channels, that are seen to propagandise for those in power. Instead of listening to their grievances and conveying them accurately, the farmers complained, âGodi Mediaâ had demonised them, misrepresented their words, and even sought to portray them as âanti-national elementsâ and âKhalistani terroristsâ.
