> "anti-establishment" as in holding the government accountable

I'm all for holding the government accountable, but the apt metaphor for some of the cited outlets would be that they protest for a road where the government hasn't built one, and protest for the tree where they chopped one to build a road.

I tried addressing this in my initial response. I have nothing more to add.

You might be confused about media outlets.

They are not homogenous, they have many people working for them, and their primary task is covering what's happening; both those parties that are pro tree and those parties that are pro road.


And I trust and hope that I am able to make that distinction before I lay out my allegations :).

I don't want this to become a game of "supplying the evidence" because that also becomes a game of the "skeptical party" DoSing the "earnest party". What I said was a best-effort distillation of my takeaways from years of following Indian news media, both free and paid.
