Looks like a lot of links at the moment.

I'm wondering if it could be made to fit more obviously with the RW mission:

  1. Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement;
  2. Documenting the full range of crank ideas;
  3. Explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism;
  4. Analysis and criticism of how these subjects are handled in the media.

It does fit with the RW mission. It explores authoritarianism and analyses how it is handled in the media. Basically it's a political article about the state of Indian media under Narendra Modi.𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk stalk 02:39, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
Then perhaps there should be some more explicit reference to authoritarianism and how how these media contribute to it. At the moment the word doesn't even appear. We are not "politics wiki". I am not for one moment suggesting that Modi's government is not authoritarian, but perhaps the article should first demonstrate this (rather than take it as a given) and then show how these media outlets contribute to or assist it.

"we are not a politics wiki" bruhlmao we have so many articles on political pundits and propaganda outlets, but they are all American and sometimes British so I decided to make some for India. Also I did note some points about how the government in India controls the media off the top of my head in the Context subsection. The media outlets I will include will have a list of examples of their insanity and bigotry along with their viewership to verify that these aren't any fringe sources of news but national TV.𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk stalk 14:17, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
