“Unfortunately in India, the media is so biased towards particular political parties that establishing an “independent media” is very difficult. The media guys are biased towards political parties on domestic issues. So if a government establishes an “independent media”, it will be pro-government, a la DD. Will the govt suffer its own media criticizing it because it is “independent” ?
On this issue, compare the US media. They are totally biased on domestic issues. But on international issues, they usually toe the US government line, especially if it involves any dispute of US with other countries. Rarely do you see editorials and media taking an anti-US position.
In India, the media has been so subverted by US and other lobby groups that rarely do you see any united pro-India position across all media.”
