When media distorts facts to manufacture news
 
The series of explosions that rocked the Tripura capital on October 1 spread 
fear psychosis among the people of Northeast, but at the same time the incident 
ignited them to get united against terrorism. How ever the citizens remained 
unhappy at the way, the media covered the act of terrorism with distorted 
facts. Though the local media did justice while covering the incident, where 
there was no casualty, the international news agency tried to exploit the 
situation to manufacture sexy news. In fact, the agencies like AP, Bloomberg, 
Reuters, AFP, AHN, UPI, IANS and ANI grabbed the opportunity to put the news in 
such a way that the readers (audience) around the world get convinced that the 
series of blasts in Agartala killed at least 2 persons. And that way they only 
helped the terrorists to get the extra dividend out of a condemned act.
