New Delhi consumes Melania's denial as American political spectacle without digging into the ramifications
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
New Delhi covers Melania's denial through the prism of American political spectacle that India consumes with a mix of fascination and distance. The Times of India headlines with the direct quote — 'I am not Epstein's victim' — a formulation that turns the denial into tabloid headline material. NDTV adopts a more measured tone framing through 'defamation.' India has no direct connection to the Epstein affair, but Indian media covers White House scandals with attention proportional to the importance of the Indo-American bilateral relationship.
