Not frequent but Mainstream Media maintains a quality in Fake News which takes everyone by storm, Hail Storm in today’s case. Just an Year ago i.e Last November they amused entire country by Nano GPS Chip implanted in 2000 Note launched then which can be even found buried under 137 feet or in thickest metal wall rooms. Or is it cost cutting ? Saving salaries of ground journalists and using WhatsApp instead for news source ?
The point is, how did mainstream media fail to notice the number plate of the car and the right hand driving ?
Truth –
It’s from Istanbul, Turkey, tweeted in July 2017 by the man who shot the video himself.
The video mainstream media houses claims to be of Mumbai Pune Highway showing a Hail Storm because of Ockhi Cyclone was tweeted 4 months ago and is from Istanbul, Turkey.
