A humorous note is that Punjabi is more spoken in Pakistan than in India (60% of their population vs maybe 3% of ours) but they refuse to acknowledge it exists.

Surprisingly, relatively unbiased. There's definitely some bias but the major news networks are generally not leaning toward a particular network, or not consciously. There's a different news culture there, yellow journalism hasn't caught on as much.
The other thing is that most Indians don't actually watch the TV news that much, unless it happens to be on. We generally prefer to read newspapers.

I found a good example of Indian news media.

I didn't watch the video, but I noticed the comments called everyone "Mr." before basically calling them a motherfucker.
American politics need that.

It's somewhat astonishing how much adding the prefix of "Mr" or "Mrs" before insulting someone can change the tone of the message.

Every time some politician calls the President "Barack Obama", I cringe.
He's President Obama, you fucking moron. You're in a formal setting.

Most politicians in India would die before calling our Prime Minister anything but "The Honourable Mr. Singh" and then just Mr. Singh after that if giving a speech in English.
If giving a speech in another language, then he adds the respectful prefix or postfix in that language.
