The Trial-by-media against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda began with the release of the morphed video in March, 2010. Yellow journalism, fabricated stories, twisted words and caricatures were used to defame, deride and destroy the public image of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. During the assaults on the Bidadi Aadheenam, residents within the aadheenam were shocked to see that these attacks were being reported before any attack even happened. Then, they shot the attacks that they themselves orchestrated. This was a blatant attempt to take the life of Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

This was the first open attempt to take the life of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and it was the first of many to come. The intrusion and violence created by these hired workers of the media caused extensive damage to life and property at Nithyananda Peetam. The media cannot be called the fourth pillar of democracy, it is simply a front-face for the mafia and anti-Hindu forces in this country.
