a we reporters cannot argue i tell bob it is a place that maybe in the absence of communication networks and reliable knew was hearsay and conjecture on rampant if any to ask or to one dog by security forces for example the people is the one that while it has broken out that there's no way to ratify it. these unofficial channels are amplified because dress events do not trust little creepy was on national television news. they believe those journalists are doing the official line from the hindu nationalist government and refusing to portray the hardships on the ground. would be it was belittling really don't get any news media reports fake news these schools are open shops are open traffic is moving but look around you you are in the heart of srinagar shops are closed schools are closed people are distressed on the good news many of the news i've watched is totally fake which we can't trust the media anymore we can't trust what

they are saying. and they spot is grateful that his editors do not dictate what he can and cannot write but he why he is that all journalists do not have that freedom . they don't even go to their duty is not a single comment on the street and what has happened to the people will come at their discretion and there are sometimes a precious little presence for the precious. right to speak freely one simply be the stored when the for one stop drinking again. ard for more on this now let's pull an aliyah if the car she is in delhi she works for the committee to protect journalists which is a u.s. based organization that promotes press freedom around the world believes good to see you you are in touch as i understand with journal is across the kashmir region in order to document any obstructions to a free press what are they telling well actually we haven't
