Fake article

[edit]

This article is made to defame op india and I want to report this they have claimed that op India spread fake news with no examples what so ever 103.211.52.225 (talk) 03:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia goes by reliable sources. About half of OpIndia#References discuss this issue. Grayfell (talk) 03:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

It would seem that OpIndia has been described by several reliable sources as far-right, as opposed to merely right-wing. Examples: "the far-right news website OpIndia..."[1] "Bellingcat identified two such far-right outlets–OpIndia and Hindu Existence."[2] "OpIndia’s current avatar is similar to what a 2010 New Yorker profile of Andrew Breitbart, the founder of the far-right..."[3] "a case study of far-right media OpIndia."[4] "How Far-Right Hindu Supremacy Went Global"[5], (the site explicitly mentions OpIndia.) "The far-right news website has faced..."[6][7]

And there further examples. Therefore, I request that the article be edited, with appropriate inline citations added in both places, in the following ways:

#1: "OpIndia is an Indian right-wing news website known for frequently publishing misinformation." → "OpIndia is an Indian far-right news website known for frequently publishing misinformation."

#2:

Consensus needed for this. GrabUp - Talk 06:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that my IP Address changes frequently. In my opinion, the evidence I presented is sufficient enough for an edit, and there is more evidence out there. I kindly ask, what do you mean by your reply? Can such a consensus be achieved here and what is the threshold for it? 2402:8100:24CB:B6DC:706B:CAA8:977:8E81 (talk) 03:52, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I said earlier, there is sufficient evidence to perform an edit. I have presented a multitude of references describing OpIndia as far-right. Please note, my IP Address keeps changing, and this is hopefully the last comment I will be putting on this page, and I hope my request is assessed fairly, taking what I have presented into consideration. 2402:8100:24CB:B6DC:706B:CAA8:977:8E81 (talk) 03:55, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A new section should be added about how OpIndia makes money.

How OpIndia makes money

[edit]

Bellingcat recently did an investigation on OpIndia and other sites like them where they found that OpIndia might be using foreign money which could be a violation of FDI norms and quiet possibly FCRA license regime in India. But I'm not sure I would prefer if we can build consensus and then make sure this new information also reflects in the article.
