I noticed many things that left a bad taste in my mouth.

  • Spreading unfounded rumours (Reporter)
  • Showing disturbing graphic video and audio without any blurring, the audio was more disturbing (Manorama)
  • Poor choice of music and sensationalist reporting (Mathrubhumi)

This is probably not a complete list, but overall they acted in a way that created mass hysteria.

News18 first showed the picture of a Muslim man as culprit ( before getting his name & details )

And if u follow twitter, Even Sachin Tendulkar and PV sindhu suddenly got "shocked" by the incident.

Not saying that all our medias are working with an agenda ( many of above channels just want their viewership rise, no matter how ), but there has been efforts to communalize the narrative too.
