The NYT recently had a piece on the NRC issue in Assam, India. In the lede they claimed that NRC was anti-Muslim because Muslims were caught up in it, and it was being done by Modi because he's anti-Muslim.
Elsewhere in the article the reader would learn that 75% of the people caught up in NRC were non-Muslims, and that NRC had been started before Modi became PM, by the previous government, under orders from the Supreme Court of India.

You might think that's untrue, and you're probably right, but all the experts believe that it will improve quality of life overall. Notice how no one claimed(in the last 20 years) that it won't effect wages, just that it'll improve your life by making goods cheaper and more accessible. They might be wrong, but I don't think that means they shouldn't be reported on.
