New Delhi: 
Delhi: A screenshot of what looks like the
front page of the US daily The New York Times,
featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has
been doing the rounds on social media and
WhatsApp groups.

The screenshot features a large photograph of

PM Modi along with the headline “Last, Best
Hope of Earth” and the strap “World’s most loved
and most powerful leader is here to bless us”,
referring to Modi’s US visit on 24-25 September.
The edition is dated 26 September 2021.

circulated en masse on Twitter, Facebook and
WhatsApp group chats, with messages like
“Proud of my PM” accompanying it.

China’s interest in CPEC has very strong
military undertones and hence, it must be
stopped.

The key to disrupting China’s military

expansionism in South Asia is an
independent Balochistan, writes former US
Army Colonel Dr. Lawrence Sellin.

Fact check
The screenshot in circulation, however, is not
the front page of The New York Times. In fact,
the 26 September front page of the newspaper
did not feature any story on PM Modi.

Furthermore, none of the social media posts

provided an accompanying URL that linked to
the newspaper page.

A closer look at the screenshot itself, as well as

the pattern of social media posts, also reveals
that the image is morphed.

The font style of the headline in the screenshot

does not match the NYT stylesheet, which
proves that the image has been altered. The date
of the story also features a typo — 26
“Setpember” instead of 26 September.

The image of PM Modi used in the fake front

page appears to have been taken from a Zee
News story published last month, titled, “PM
Modi to chair UNSC high-level open debate on
enhancing maritime security.”
