What has rocked the world of the internet recently is a viral video of Bihar politician Pappu Yadav, who has brought to light the questionable issue of media bias and influence on politics. Recorded on X (which is now Twitter), a video uploaded by a journalist appears to be accepting bribes in cash from Yadav and immediately slips into praise mode, getting angry enough at his cameraman, admonishing him to capture the moment on screen with the words, Focus karke dikhao… marenge sala, dikhao Pappu Yadav ko!
The video has caused a controversy on social media, with so many netizens cautioning the journalist as well as Pappu Yadav on the attempt to compromise the integrity of the discourse being conducted by the people. Opponents note that the video displays the uncomfortable truth about the nature of how a story can be easily manipulated. The political rivals have not wasted the chance and criticised both the ethics of Yadav and the involvement of paid journalism during the election period. Other users commended the video clip as an eye-opener to an act that they consider common yet often goes unnoticed.
This case poses some important questions: was it a mere incident of lack of professionalism, or was it a peek into a bigger picture? Media ethicists have pointed out that there is an imminent necessity to have a sense of accountability in the discourse of journalists and political leaders alike. The effect of the video is not only limited to Pappu Yadav—it is a question of the faith the media engages with its audience.
