A free press is something that India can still be proud of. While the media might be silly at times, they are free ( to be silly as well ).



I used to think so, but the more I've seen of the reporting, especially with the recent riots and Assam migrations, the less I trust them.

I used to never give credence to the insinuations that Indian Media was bought.

After the recent events, I've just stopped trusting them at all.

I got better reports from trawling through the dregs of r/India and then linking to other forums and checking out comments there.

Aside from that firstpost/tehelka come to mind for decent reporting.

What use is a free press, if they spend their freedom on just making up soundbites to garner eyeballs?


TRP hunger! That is what can be said.

Times Now is so hilarious at times. Arnab Gosami almost looks like a stand up comedian in many shows.
