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