Thackeray said although not all media has become biased, the good ones are under constant pressure to bend. Giving examples of raids at NDTV offices and pressures on senior journalist Prannoy Roy, Thackeray said, “They are veterans. They launched themselves even more fiercely against them.”

He added, “But let's not expect anything from people like Zee and Arnab. What can money make people do? Arnab used to talk against Modi on Times now. “

He concluded, “Where are we taking journalism? What will happen when people stop trusting the media?”
