Post-truth

I am going to explain my views regarding this word post-truth. Post- truth is a new word which become popular now a days because of media. Media present the news in most effective way. Media wants that their news should directly affect the mind of the readers. These types of extra effect leads to the lose of facts and evidence. The basic truth loses its value and whatever comes out is post-truth.
I would like to give an example of Sonu nigam's tweet regarding Azaan. Sonu nigam tweets that " God bless everyone. I am not a muslim and i have to be woken up by the Azaan in the morning. When will this forced religiousness end in India"
He also added that " I dont believe in any temple or gurudwara using electricity to wake up people who don't follow the religion" in his third tweet.
The simple meaning of these tweets was that Sonu nigam wants to banned the loudspeaker system for prayer. God listens our prayer through our heart, not through loudspeaker. But Sonu nigam's statement lose its original meaning through media. Media makes it a big issue and then people started criticizing. Even the actoress Richa also criticize sonu by saying that " sonu , we all get a lil noisy here! I live 5 minutes from u, i m sure u hear item songs blaring in the name of processions. Had to soundproof"
Even one of the twitter user @iamzaalima said "Azaan should be stopped in India, where millions of muslim live, because desh ka laadla sonu nigam can't sleep"
In this way through mafia the truth lost its meaning. Misinformation and disinformation have victory over information. Facts are no longer consider important.
