In India mass media is a net negative. Too scared to fight people with power they just click bait their way through and push around less powerful people. And they are ready to spread misinformation for money without any ethics whatsoever. I totally depend on social media individuals and people in communities like Hive rather than the mainstream media.

the image you shared was very funny and in line with the cons. Photo seems to be from a magazine stall in hindi speaking part of India. and two or three of the magazines which are strung vertically are ones where I would have got a walloping from my parents if it was in my custody - in other words naughty magazines :)
