I have actually spoken to Gujaratis about it. I thought you'd say Teesta Setalvad or Vandana Shiva have been lying but what does Rajdeep apologising for his reportage on the Sohrabuddin case have to do with 2002 ? That was three years later. Unless you're saying ' the media has been caught lying so everything is a lie ". Rajdeep was not the only reporter who covered 2002. Was Babu Bajrangi lying when he bragged about the massacres on cam ?
Actually Rajdeep has been quite diplomatic about it and way softer on Modi than you think. Maybe not as soft as Arnab Goswami who made a 180° turn from what he used to say about Modi and who btw hasn't apologised for stealing Rajdeep's story verbatim even after getting caught 😆. Rajdeep refers to the 2002 massacres as 'riots' but has no trouble calling the 1984 ones a planned pogrom. He shared anecdotes where Modi told him to axe a story about the vandalism at a temple because that would have made things worse. Rajdeep even says Modi was being controlled by others , blames VHP Gen Sec Pravin Tagodia for what happened in Gujarat ( the guy who distributes trishools and 'saves ' women from intercaste marriages ,who now has fallen out with Modi ) . Rajdeep is actually quite 'friendly' 
What we don't know jack about is who set the train on fire ,if at all it was set on fire. Yet somebody felt like declaring it an act of terrorism immediately. And look how it worked out for them. Bigotry is a profitable business and has very little to do with any actual hatred or prejudice against anybody.
