India's elections are coming up...are the media up to the task? | The India Report

With India amid a national election campaign, its news media is in sharp focus.
Until recently it was believed that the sheer diversity of outlets ensured a range of perspectives, but now, India’s mainstream media has largely been co-opted by the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Just how did the media in India get to this point and what does it mean for the upcoming elections?
Featuring:
Ravish Kumar - Former Host, NDTV
Shashi Shekhar Vempati - Former CEO, Prasar Bharati
Pramod Raman - Chief Editor, MediaOne
Amy Kazmin - Former South Asia Bureau Chief, Financial Times
Meena Kotwal - Founder, The Mooknayak

India is one place where there used to be good discussions and debates onTV but sadly it is becoming like the silly partisan stuff shown daily on the mainstream media in US/UK. India is the place that overthrew colonialism and gained its freedom so lets hold that freedom dear for everyone. India can show the way but it needs a free press.

Please Google’ Indian media bias chart’ 📊 and see the charts in the Images section. If some is telling you that there is bias only on one side then they are likely to be biased to the opposite side. Watch neutral media OR watch both left wing and right wing media and make up your own mind on any issue. Don’t blindly follow leftwing / right wing media in this era of one sided journalism. This is the sad reality worldwide. Google International media bias chart n see their biases! There are other biases towards allies like geopolitical and national interests of each country which their national media can have. But that’s a different story altogether. Just be aware not to blindly trust any media narrative. Nothing is black or white, it’s always shades of grey!
