[im_dude]

I am going to pay assuming that they need money as they don't have any political backing or funding like other paid medias..

Spoiler alert...NDTV founder is Pronoy Roy whose sister in law is Brinda Karat (CPM).
Its a inhouse media outlet of communist.

Thats like saying 1+1=11. Any such links for Republic or Times Now or their propoganda is just their own?

Well, There is something more to expand this 1+1 formula as He is a cousin of Indian author Arundhati Roy.
Yes NDTV is far away from sensational news but at the same time is heavily biased too.
He is acting like Opposition Party (Sometime much better than Opposition Party)
But no one likes too much negativity, If too much pro propaganda is bad so is negative propaganda.
That's the very reason NDTV is 2nd or First from Bottom.
Good channels for serious content lover but too irritating with overdose of negativity.
The result is obvious. They removed Cameras and shifted on Cellphone now this Pay Per View tell a lot about future.

Bro Indian media mostly is either owned by political party or associated with people of political party and last but not the least owned by big industrialist.Biased is a very in word here.

Content quality is almost same.
Actually these people like "zee news" more than "ndtv hindi" like the so called people who prefer "times now"/republic over "ndtv english" in english news genre.
Hope you got the point.

I Agree with you. Zee support bjp, ndtv against bjp.
I watch only DD news and lok sbha and rajya sabha

I am no journalist but I believe journalism is the voice of the people. But then how its viewed with regard to negativity and positivity is each-to-their-own I suppose.

About NDTV removing cameras, etc. thats what happens when you don't pander to the current government. Their advertisers were hounded and I think last year or something the owners were raided. If they have shifted to cellphones, that also means they would have cut lots of jobs.

Anyway, I read scroll.in and thenewsminute more now-a-days. Good news articles in them. There are so many independent digital-only news websites now.
