BC MEDIA BIAS

šŸ§µTHREADšŸ§µ

Today, President Biden announced his intention to end the war in Afghanistan, to great media fanfare.

You may remember, way back in 2019 & 2020, President Trump said the same thing.

Let me know if you can spot the difference in coverage then vs. nowā¤µļø

 When Trump said we were leaving, @CNN quoted the NATO Sec Gen with a ā€œstark warningā€ about how ā€œdangerousā€ the move would be.

But Bidenā€™s decision? Well, on that one, we just get to hear from his people.
One of the things Iā€™ve discussed before is how outlets can frame the narrative they want by focusing on people who support or oppose a certain policy. Itā€™s misleading, but also a calling card of @CNN.
Starting to see it?
Once upon a time, @nytimes told us that Trumpā€™s decision was a capitulation to the Taliban where we would get nothing in return - as if blood not shed and treasure not spent means nothing.

But Bidenā€™s call? Well, for some reason these concerns seem to have evaporated.
For Trump, we hear about the ā€œfearsā€ of Afghan officials from @nytimes.

Biden, on the other hand, gets a sympathetic write up despite being the second most powerful man in the country during the height of US forces. Just incredible memoryholing here.
This one from @TIME might be the most egregious of them all. I mean. Cmon.
Also, what even is this, @TIME?
Everyone has been doing this.

These tweets are mere months apart from @MSNBC. Stunningly, they found people to say the exact opposite things about the decision to pull out.
So much of todayā€™s coverage reads as if nothing had ever been said to the contrary by anyone on @MSNBC
Its interesting that @maddow/@MaddowBlog no longer seem to see the invisible hand of Russia calling the shots now that it is Biden pulling troops out of Afghanistan. Instead, itā€™s a great thing.
@washingtonpost presented without introduction.
Some places, like @NPR, donā€™t even seem to be trying at this rate.

Were no military leaders worried when Biden made the decision to do the same thing?
For PBS @NewsHour, Trumpā€™s decisions were instantly refracted through the lens of those who oppose him.

For Biden, we just hear from him directly on the benefits of his plans.
When it was Trump making the decisions, @ABC rushed to tell us about how the decision would ā€œundermine his administrationā€™s agreement with the Taliban.ā€

It didnā€™t. And now that Biden is calling the shots, weā€™ve got nothing but pomp, circumstance and PR pull quotes.
Iā€™ve got a separate thread on this but let this be your reminder that there isnā€™t any evidence of the existence of the Russian bounties story. And yet it also found its way into @ABCā€™s coverage for Trump. @nytimes too.
Previous thread on bounties: https://t.co/YkdaQxJwcd
And @JRubinBlogger is so, so close to getting it.
Iā€™ve got to hand it to him, though. He may be wrong, but @MaxBoot is consistent in his urging that America be invested in building democracy or what have you despite the overwhelming evidence opposing the wisdom of doing so.
This situation has given us one of the clearest examples of framing for materially similar actions by different presidents.

Would anyone look at these side by sides and think they were impartial and balanced?
It should go without saying, but this is really, really bad.

The narrative shift is striking even though the goal of each policy is the same.

It isnā€™t sustainable to have information twisted and crammed into narratives this way.

1)King Porus was a famous Indian king, his real name was #Purushotama. He belonged to PURU tribe mentioned in #RIG_VEDA, the Ancient books of India.


2) Porus ruled the Punjab region and expanded his kingdom between the Jhelum River and Chenab River in the Indian Subcontinent. He was a legendary warrior and more war skills. He made the army most powerful with war skills. Even Alexander had also made difficulty to defeat Porus.

3)Word of Mouth Oral tradition in #Mohyal_Brahmin families since ancient times has kept the Great Saga of their Great Elder known to them as Maharaja ā€œ #Puruā€ alive.

4) When #Alexander the Great invaded India in 326 BC he was challenged near Taxila by a mere chieftain of the Area. He was King #Porus, a #Vaid_Mohyal. After his encounter with Porus, Alexander met with more resistance near Multan where the forces were predominantly #Mohyal.

5)The Bali rulers of Multan fiercely engaged with Alexander's army in skirmishes in which many senior Generals died. Later during the long and bitter fighting in #Multan, Alexander got hurt by an arrow which pierced his chest ,

TRUMP: "I've decided to eat babies."

PEOPLE: "He can't eat babies, that's super illegal."

TRUMP, on TV, eating babies, not even cooking them first: "People are saying that I really am the best baby-eater, folks."

NYT: "Trump Vs. Babies: The Rhetoric On Both Sides Must Stop"

Jeff Flake tweets: "It is a sad day in America when this callous man can eat babies live on TV"

Jeff Flake, 10 seconds later, votes to help him install a series of 4,000 new judges that are very, very pro-babyphagia.

Judge Kavanaugh, found drunk in a Capitol Hill closet: "I LIKE BEER. OKAY? I LIKE BEER AND I LIKE BABIES AND THAT'S NOT SO WRONG. THAT'S RIGHT. I LIKE BABIES DIPPED IN BEER. I JUST DIP EM. IN THE BEER. THE BABIES. THE BABIES I EAT. OKAY? THAT'S AMERICA."

Mike Pence, wringing his hands about the baby-eating: "We must take care of our children. Our youngest must be protected on this troubling day."

Mike Pence then invites a Baby Chef to say a prayer.

Twitter Users: "It's a distraction technique! Trump eating babies is trying to DISTRACT YOU from ALL THE OTHER HORRORS, which are themselves distractions from the BABY-EATING. It's DISTRACTIONS ALL THE WAY DOWN."

Trump: *eats tons of babies at a rally*

*literal tons of babies*

A long but must read thread. Udaybhan Rathore and myth making in Maratha history: An analysis. This is the thread on Udaybhan Rathore, who he was and how over the time period, his life was portrayed in maratha chronicles and pseudo history. (1/n)

Udaybhan rathore was the head of Bhinai thikana (84 villages) in Ajmer. He was the direct descendant of the famous Rao Chandrasen, Raja of Marwar (4th generation) who resisted Akbar all his life and never made any alliance with mughals like Maharana Pratap. (2/n)

Later in 1783, Maharaja of Jodhpur gave title of Raja to Bhinai family for their military service. Bhinai family and their direct descendant Raja Sh Mayuraj Singh still lives in Ajmer. Anyway coming to Udaybhan Rathore and story of Tanaji. (3/n)

Jai Singh's march on Shivaji and treaty of Purandar (1665) is a well known episode to repeat here. After getting the hill forts from Shivaji under the treaty, Jai Singh didn't have enough man-power to man every one of the small forts because of his next (4/n)

campaign against Bijapur. Jai Singh personally took over a couple of important forts like Kondhana (Sinhgarh), Purandar etc. Others were given to some mughals or their fortification walls destroyed. Jai Singh died in 1667 near Burhanpur while enroute to the north. (5/n)
