Leading by example: Indian deities don masks to ‘spread awareness’ about coronavirus (PHOTO) Deities at a Varanasi temple in Uttar Pradesh, India have been sporting an unusual look lately – donning face masks to encourage worshippers to do the same and help stop the coronavirus outbreak, a priest says. Indian Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has credited the efforts of the health authorities to contain the outbreak for the lack of deaths and low number of cases, noting in an interview with the Indian Express on Monday that part of the campaign was to spread awareness among the general public about the disease, which, at first glance, can be mistaken for the flu. Now, Indian deities have joined in the effort as well. Varanasi:The 'Shivling' a...

‘Double standards!’ Trump team rips Twitter after it flags Biden ‘endorsement’ clip but OKs THREE doctored Trump vids

Uncategorized

‘Double standards!’ Trump team rips Twitter after it flags Biden ‘endorsement’ clip but OKs THREE doctored Trump vids The Trump campaign fired off a withering reply to Twitter after the company said the president had shared a “manipulated” video clip, accusing the platform of unfairly enforcing its rules to help Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden. Twitter appended its first ever “manipulated media” disclaimer to a video on Sunday, warning users that a clip re-tweeted by Trump – showing a stammering Biden as he apparently endorses the president’s re-election – was “edited in a misleading way.” But the Trump campaign insists Twitter has simply invented a new rule to “protect” the former VP. “The Biden campaign has a strategic interest in intimidating soci...

‘Italy is not Europe’s coronavirus hotbed, it’s just the first country that snapped’ – Milan-based journalist to RT

Uncategorized

‘Italy is not Europe’s coronavirus hotbed, it’s just the first country that snapped’ – Milan-based journalist to RT With the entirety of Italy put under quarantine, the Mediterranean nation has been seen as the hardest-hit by the coronavirus in Europe. Italian journalist Evgeny Utkin believes, however, that it’s just the most tested one. Utkin, a journalist based in Italy and an expert on economics and politics, told RT he believes the situation with the coronavirus as reported in the press (that it is ravaging Italy, yet somehow affecting neighboring countries on a far smaller scale) does not represent the reality on the ground. Also on rt.com All of Italy will be ‘red zone’: Public gatherings banned, people to mov...

Hierarchy of racism? UK media slapped with hypocrisy accusations after Labour suspends Trevor Phillips The UK media has come under fire online for its coverage of Islamophobia allegations in contrast to past anti-Semitism controversies following the suspension of former equality watchdog chief Trevor Phillips from the Labour Party. Phillips – who chaired the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) between 2006 and 2012 – said he was “surprised” at the decision to suspend him for past comments about Muslims.
