The fall of Kabul is one of the harrowing stories of 2021, but this post is not on the fall of Kabul. It is about the fall and fall of Bengali. Once one of the most vocal media in the entire country now has just become a mouthpiece of the state government. These news channels don't send reporters to Afghanistan. They depend on international news media houses. They create news in vernacular what international news media houses reported.
The main reason behind it because of the lack of funds. Most regional news channels are depended on the advertisement of the state government. In West Bengal, due to the lack of industry, these newspaper fails to get any advertisement from companies. They are solely dependent on government ads. If they report anything against the interest of the government, then the next day they don't get advertisements from the government. So they prefer to cover national or international news. But when they cover such news, very few are dependent on their sources.
