🚨Everybody’s Guy, Rajdeep Sardesai In my cover story for @thecaravanindia’s media issue, I chart the star TV anchor’s contribution to the collapse of news that he laments today — his failure to evolve, access journalism, spiking stories, and more:

A govt application can also be used to implant files on your device. Has happened before, in the Bhima Koregaon case where docs were allegedly put laptops & used to frame conspiracy. Won't happen to everyone, of course. But it could, where it matters. #SancharSaathi

Petition? What a joke. A leader of the ruling alliance is "petitioning" his own govt. Are you aware of the excuses your own Govt is making?
