In reference to Shivam’s piece, I think Hegde is already a role model and popular among the audience that is the target of Postcard. Also, the generalisation “Postcard News is only the most prominent and vicious purveyor of fake news. There are countless others…” seem to condone the wrongdoing by Hindutvvaadi portals like Postcard. A critical analysis would reveal that the Saffron camp is the initiator and leader in spreading falsehood on social and main media. But unfortunately, a large part of the main media kept silent on this falsehood phenomenon. It was only Pratik’s late father who first started highlighting this phenomenon through the Truth of Gujarat portal. Now Pratik has added a new dimension to his father’s work with Alt News.
