India is creeping closer to a general election next year at a time that the mainstream media there is growing more and more toxic.
That assessment comes from one of its most prominent journalists, Ravish Kumar, who spent nearly 30 years in the studios of NDTV, a national news channel that stuck to a centrist line while other channels veered to the right - either willingly or under pressure from the government of Narendra Modi and his party - the BJP.
Here at the Listening Post we’ve documented that shift - TV hosts getting louder, more sycophantic, more anti-Muslim by the day - effectively proving Ravish Kumar’s argument.
He spoke with us to offer a sobering temperature check on India’s news media ahead of an upcoming election.
