I. What do we mean by “Godi Media”?
Godi media (Hindi pronunciation: [ɡoːdiː]; lit. ’media sitting on lap’; idiomatic equivalent: ‘lapdog media’;) is a pejorative term coined and popularized by NDTV journalist Ravish Kumar, the face of fourth and fifth pillars of democracy in India at present, for the sensationalist and biased Indian print and TV news media, which supports the ruling NDA government led by the BJP. The term has become a common way to refer to television and other media that are perceived as mouthpieces of the current ruling party in India. [Source: Wikipedia ⤡]
It can also be referred to as “Modia” under the Modicrazy!
N.B.: All the Godi Media are funded by the crony ruling party, habitual horse-traders as well as EVM Hackers; however, non-Godi Media, occupying both the fourth and fifth pillars of democracy, are crowd-funded!
Nevertheless, our Once in a Blue Moon Academia (OBMA) is self-funded.
Here’s a list of the major Godi Media:

II. How does Godi Media or Modia manufacutre consents?
One must keep in mind that this Godi Media are spending a huge amount of money by using the techfog software & hired “supporters”(?), acting as an effective indoctrinating propaganda machine following Joseph Goebbels’ strategy of telling recurring lies (the große Lüge). It is found by the fact checkers that the ruling party is either pathological liar or compulsive liars ⤡ ⤡ ⤡.

There are two types of so-called supporters in the Godi Media:
It is alleged that the ruling party, before the introduction of the Data Protection Bill or Data Privacy Bill (Justice BN Srikrishna, who drafted this bill, himself called this move of the ruling party as a definite passage towards the Orwellian state⤡), had used a special software, ‘Pegasus’ for capturing opponents’ privacy.

This year, they were nominated for Nobel Peace Prize; One of the nominees, Mohammed Zubair was arested without any concrete allegations.

VI. THE CATACLYSMIC DHFL SCAM AND THE INDIAN MASS MEDIA
The Godi Media are intentionally veiling the truth of the DHFL-Scam (since BJP itself is thoroughly involved in this financial scam), whereas Non-Godi Media are openly talking about the scams of the BJP related to the DHFL issue. There is one to one correspondence between the skyrocketing assets of the BJP and the rampant bankruptcies like DHFL:
It is observed that only the Indian National Congress (INC) Spokesperson Mrs. Supriya Shrinate is vocal about the DHFL Scam. It is a matter of regret that no other political party is interested to talk about the DHFL Scam!

Many of you may question the relevance of such listing of the Indian media in the context of the DHFL issue in particular. You may also state: “We are only concerned with our money. We are not interested in any kind of political matter.”
The answers are:
1. You will be motivated after viewing these Youtubers’ courage and spirit of resistance.
2. The DHFL scam is itself a political issue & is related to the terror-funded ruling party. So the reactions of the DHFL Victims should be holistic (attack all out) & political in nature. Your one performance on the web will enrich our movement as a whole.
Let us end with a positive note from the Great Dictator‘s last scene. We cannot help but take our refuge to satire and non-violent non-cooperation against the crony, plutocratic governance:
