Counter him on the points he has made. Can you do that? which is India's low ranking is due to Indians opposed to the present govt. That the input comes from Indians is beyond doubt since they are confidential surveys. We don't know who gets them, what is asked or the replies. But the results are laughably biased. And if the opposition uses such surveys to slam the govt then that shows they need to remain in opposition for some more time.
What did you intend to convey with that quoted bit btw? Have the courage to say
As a Trump supporter, I entirely agree with his views in the quote. The democrats want to portray Jan 6 as our parliament attack in 2001 which is a joke But their media makes it look like that. The most egregious attack on American democracy ever. So they could throw the book at the misguided fools that did it.
Both Trump & Modi are nationalists. For some reason, they never use that term in US media when referring to Trump but that is what he is. Saying nationalist is not scary enough. Americans sing the national anthem at every sports meet and they like to wave the star and stripes whenever. Overt displays of nationalism.
Instead, they prefer vague terms like alt-right, and far-right to characterise Trump supporters. The handful that did Jan 6. There were a lot of people on Jan 6. Some even waved Indian flags. Not all of them went in. When I explain to people that 50% of Vietnamese origin and 30% of Asian Americans (including Indians) are also Trump supporters they have no response
The one thing I will always credit Trump with is the term 'fake news'. How bad has the media got to be when a President slams his own media? It really opened my eyes to how overly biased they were against him. He said on Jan 6, the media in the US is free but not fair. Absolutely right. You could not trust their MSM when it came to its reporting on him. But we all think they are the gold standard. heh, no. Not anymore. The internet affected their revenues and they say what whoever pays them wants. One of my recent discoveries is the Western MSM is a better source of CCP propaganda than local Chinese media. Western MSM says what the CCP wants to maintain access to internal CCP sources. Big business depends on it. No scoops otherwise.
Otherwise yeah, go ahead and believe that Pakistan & Afghanistan have more press freedom than India or we are as bad. The liberal press loses its access when a right of centre govt enters office. I saw this during Bush's time and CNN was always complaining about it. They don't get the paid junkets and scoops they used to get because the govt knows whatever favours granted will be abused by a group that is ideologically opposed. They are being outcompeted by commentators on other platforms. They are hurting. What do you think they will say about press freedom in India?
