      Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Thursday took a section of media to task pointing out that there are communal overtones in their reporting.

      "The problem is, everything in this country is shown with a communal angle by a section of the media. That is the problem. The country is going to get a bad name ultimately," the Chief Justice said.

      The CJI made these observations while hearing a petition seeking action against media entities accused of "communal reporting" on Covid linked to the Tabligh Jamaat.

      The Supreme Court also expressed concerns about fake news being spread through web portals and social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. The Chief Justice observed that such social media giants do not even respond to judges.

      "Such digital and social media platforms listen only to powerful men and there is no accountability towards judicial institutions," the court noted.
