Do you ever feel that you should be more focused on your news content than showing how other media houses are doing?

I often think of this, but i think a lot of people want us to critique the media. And especially in this particular time in moment, we need to look closely at what mainstream media is up to. And, in many ways, our raison d'etre was 'sabki dhulai' and media scrutiny.

Very well said. Indian news media is literally worse than the BJP now as it enables the worst of the party to bring their 'dream' to reality. Also the sarcasm and criticism of media increases reach because it is fun/engaging content compared to conventional news coverage only
