Why do Indian journalists only record and publish critiques of India?

"In a world where the press is shackled by power, the truth becomes a casualty, and only the critiques serve the interests of those who control the narrative."
According to Osho, Indian journalists emphasize critiques because there is no truly free press: the state controls radio/TV and indirectly restrains newspapers via newsprint quotas and advertising, while a few oligarchic owners reliant on government licenses set the line. To protect their interests and block sympathy for dissenters, they cherry-pick negative snippets (e.g., his critiques) and suppress balanced or appreciative content, shaping opinion to serve power rather than truth.
Powerful people control the news, so they show only the parts that make critics look bad and hide the rest.
Why this matters practically
- Verify context: read or watch full talks, not just snippets.
- Use diverse, independent sources and check who funds/owns them.
- Notice how ads, licenses, and quotas can steer what you read.
