NP News - June 14
Here is the monthly survey (from 21 April to 20 May) on subversive media that are fabricating fake news, misinformation, and propaganda misleading the public in Myanmar. As a classification, the exile VOA, RFA, and BBC are in Group A and the small outlets media in Group B are Khit Thit, The Irrawaddy, Mizzima, DVB, and Myanmar Now. Although those media are loudly speaking “Independent Media”, they do not dare to show clear financial or income (to stand for long term).
BBC
BBC, running with British government funding, has fabricated 270 news that are not accurate with facts and data on their Facebook social media platform at the rate of eight percent from 21 April to 20 May.
Other 24 percent manipulate or stimulate the Myanmar internal conflict. In addition, news is circulated by BBC misleading the public and covering up the terror acts and war crimes committed by the NUG and PDF terrorists. The news that supports NUG and PDF is spread at the rate of 16 percent.
VOA and RFA
VOA and RFA media hire exiled Myanmar journalists who will never return to the motherland. VOA circulated 221 news on their Facebook Page within a month. Among them, nine percent are inaccurate news and the news that can stimulate the conflict is at the rate of 46 percent. The news that supports terrorism is at the rate of 26 percent.
Similarly, RFA circulated 430 fabricated news of which 11 percent were inaccurate or accused and 60 percent were conflict stimulations. Therefore, VOA and RFA are breaking media ethics and are unwilling to peace in Myanmar. Worst of all, exiled Myanmar journalists who are working at VOA and RFA have been accusing journalists in Myanmar as propagandists for the military.
DVB, The Irrawaddy, Myanmar Now, and Mizzima
Old generations from 1988 are leading the media of DVB, The Irrawaddy, and Mizzima except for Myanmar Now. They change colors and directions to earn self-benefits working with donors and INGOs. DVB circulates 504 news of which 15 percent is inaccurate and 42 percent is stimulating conflict. In addition, 21 percent of news supports NUG-PDF’s terror acts.
U Aung Zaw leading The Irrawaddy fabricated 675 news in which 36 percent are accused news and 26 percent stimulated the conflict. In addition, 25 percent support NUG-PDF. Ko Swe Win, the head of Myanmar Now, also spread 39 percent of the news to stimulate the conflict which of 179 fabricated news and 26 percent support NUG-PDF. Similarly, Mizzima led by U Soe Myint circulated 584 news in which 27 percent of the news was inaccurate, 26 percent supported NUG-PDF, and another 26 percent stimulated conflict of genocide in Myanmar.
Yangon Khit Thit
The sub-standard Yangon Khit Thit gained popularity in Myanmar in 2021 conflict on social media. Within 30 days, this media posted 905 news breaking records to other media. In 905 news, 30 percent of news is inaccurate. On the other hand, Khit Thit media admitted that they are circulating inaccurate news since they are just describing the news based on the quotes given by unnamed sources. 33 percent of their news stimulated the conflict and 24 percent support NUG-PDF.
The mentioned survey statistics were recorded in 30 days.
