Aditya Thakur’s article in the Hillpost gives some of the details:
Prannoy (NDTV) Roy’s wife is the sister of Brinda Karat of the CPM,
TIMES NOW belongs to Bennet and Coleman,
NEWS24 is controlled by Rajeev (IPL) Shukla a Congress Minister,
PTC is owned by Sukhbir Badal,
INDIA NEWS is owned by Karthikeya Sharma son of Congress leader Vinod Sharma,
THE PIONEER is ably steered by BJP MP Chandan Mitra,
THE HINDU is owned by the Kasturi family which has overt CPM sympathies,
The INDIAN EXPRESS supports the Congress while its twin the NEW INDIAN EXPRESS is an avowed NDA sympathiser,
THE HINDUSTAN TIMES is the undisputed turf of Shobhana Bhartiya, a former Congress MP and daughter of KK Birla,
THE TIMES OF INDIA can no longer lay any claim to fair reporting ever since it started the reprehensible practice of accepting equity from companies (instead of payment) for their advertising: you may not lick the hand that feeds you, but you’ll certainly bite the hand that doesn’t.
