In this episode of Unraveled, Marvi Sirmed critically examines the growing credibility crisis in Indian media—especially among senior, liberal journalists who once stood for truth and ethics. From the disinformation spread during India’s May 2025 strikes on Pakistan, to Barkha Dutt’s controversial appearance on Piers Morgan’s show, and Karan Thapar’s recent combative interview with Bilawal Bhutto Zardari—this episode explores how hyper-nationalism, performative patriotism, and unchecked jingoism are undermining journalistic integrity on both sides of the border. Why are respected Indian journalists echoing state narratives instead of challenging them? Is Pakistan’s media now mirroring this tone? What gets lost in this game of nationalist spectacle? Join the conversation as we reflect on the role of the media in promoting peace, truth, and democratic values.
