In the past few months, the Indian media has repeatedly been criticised for the way it has been covering news events. That's probably what inspired a Twitter user to send in an obituary mourning the death of media.
Taking to Twitter, @kartiksahni tweeted, "Surprised, confused yet thankful that @the_hindu decided to carry my listing"
The obituary reads:
“With profound regret we announce the demise of Ms M.E. Dia, beloved daughter of Mr E.E Dom (F.R.) and wife of Mr T.ruth in New Delhi on 8 September 2020. Mourned by family and friends.”
"Ms M.E. Dia" in the text refers to 'media' and "Mr E.E Dom (F.R.)" is 'freedom.' Similary, "Mr T.ruth" is 'truth.'
