Actually go and read about coverage of India in NYt and WaPo. Those editors have a Vendetta out. I have not seen more dishonest coverage about India .

Your first 2 lines are factually wrong. Give examples or don't court lies. I can shares clips of news channels directly naming and accussing key govt personell and having no repurcussions. Caravan, the print, scroll , the hindu, NDTV are thriving. Even newslaundry with its tarnished reputation attacks govt on daily basis. Give examples, c'mon.
