In Canada the government started giving journalists taxpayer money and the journalists stopped criticizing the government that gave them money. What's to be done about "journalists" who serve elite corporate masters over working class people?

[mrbill]

Problem is that 95% of journalists do not do the good stuff. They actually help the 'power' instead of asking the truth questions. So they tar the brush.

I want to say this with all due respect...we have a corporate sponsored media system and if the regular citizen have to start paying as well nothing will change. CNN, FOX, MSNBC will collect from both parties and remain bias!

Good journalism should be rewarded with subscription. WION deserves.

You are awesome 👏🏼…no such thing is American news anymore, just opinions.

[rinzo]

"What do you get for zero dollars in America or zero rupees in India? Exactly".

To every journalist who has either put his or her head on the chopping block just to send us the news as it is, we salute you all. 📰

I believe that true journalism is rare in this day and age. I do not believe anything in the news anymore. The distrust is too strong now.

I'm a regular viewer of WION because of your content and more so because I can choose "what to watch" and "when to watch". The only reason I've not subscribed is that when I do, you guys fill up my feed with 50+ videos "a day". This is a problem for the other equally great orthogonal channels (posting a lot less often) which I'm subscribed to, not just in the field of journalism, which are now shadowed by the WION. If there's a way to do Patreon and not have my feed full daily, I'm up for it.

No journalists and no information. Thanks for your steady service

[pokuni]

Hats off to WION for doing a wonderful job

[guidosarducci]

Well stated. You confront issues others might be afraid, and say things you might be afraid would alienate viewers. But with such clarity and honesty, there is no offense, and it's difficult to disagree. Very convincing.

I find WION's quality to be wide ranging. Gravitas, while still imperfect, is the best of WION; it's also better than most other sources, in any country.

Knowledgeable analysis, with an attempt to be fair and unbiased. Impressive.

[markgarcia]

Why would I pay for the news when it’s free on YouTube and Twitter ?

[rahulpaul]

Awesome Journalists across all countries. Thanks Palki Ji and your wonderful team. God bless

[prashantkumarsingh]

That was the best way to ask for subscribing this channel 😅😅
Btw, I'm already a subscriber !!

[EpicDurian]

Is this an Indian news agency really? I am surprised. Nice work WION!!!😲😲

[jasont]

Think most would be willing to pay for news but they won't because if one were to pay they would expect factual, 100% truthful, professional, unbiased news consistently irrespective of the presenters / journalist personal and political opinion and views.

[kidpoker]

Risk vs reward. Salute to the journalists who publish facts even when those facts are hard to accept or dangerous to acquire.

[Starscream_]

The problem is when activists masquerade as journalist and pass it off as honest journalism. People shouldn't pay for that kinda garbage.

[MrMusic]

We have our journalist.
We have Palki Sharma.🙂♥️
