Funding to 'non-cooperation': One-sided reportage on Zubair, with help from anonymous sources

Sources say that TV news channels’ reportage on Mohammad Zubair’s arrest has left a lot to be desired. They claim that cross-checking and balance were missing from several reports and the broadcasters over-reliant on the Delhi police. These sources then switched off the television and waited for the morning newspapers instead.

Banter aside, the above-mentioned sources are fictitious, inspired by quotes from police officers that have crept into the news cycle since the Alt News co-founder was arrested on June 27 over a 2018 tweet from a Hindi movie.
