What is the editorial stance of this news channel?
I did a quick google search but wasn't able to find any info. Here are some examples: Example 1 Example 2. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 14:16, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
That is what I cam here seeking as well, because I saw a video[1] in which they repeatedly referred to COVID-19 as "the Wuhan virus." Perhaps this is normal in India, but in most of the rest of the English speaking world it belies a very particular (conspiratorial) conservative perspective. --76.24.24.247 (talk) 22:25, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

- @Venkat TL, I was planning to add this section to the article but [3] seems a very specific case of bias about the "absence of reportage at USA covid wave". Adding these things to the media bias section doesnt seem to be the norm as seen in nyt or fox news article. The Media Bias analysis section seems more appropriate to be added. >>> Extorc.talk(); 12:45, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
- Please read the full article. That was their made up lie. Perfect example of fake news. Why wont you add it? Venkat TL (talk) 12:52, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
- What I'm saying is that such instances do not exist in articles for fox news and nyt articles. If the consensus is that such individual instances should be added in those articles as well, then I don't have any problem doing so. >>> Extorc.talk(); 13:03, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Conspiracy Theories
I can't say for sure, but when watching some of their content, the Gravitas show appears to be rather "conspiratorial" in their monologues and it makes me question their editorial policies.
Perhaps some better material on their editorial stances should be mentioned in the Wikipedia article?

Criticism blocked on YouTube
Recently I took exception to statements made and my comment was blocked. I then noticed that I couldn’t find ANY comments with a differing opinion. There was not so much as as a “thumbs down”. It seems to me this is more like propaganda than news. If they’re not willing to consider opposing views how can they be trusted to tell the truth in the first place? So I blocked the channel... 68.97.5.41 (talk) 20:47, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Encyclopedic significance?
If I see that right, WION is just some YT-Channel with an imposter name trying to appear like an American news outlet, posting very clickbaity "news" with even more clickbaity images to generate channel views. There are thousands of those. I suggest deletion.2A01:599:744:59D9:95BF:8E88:13DB:6158 (talk) 04:44, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
The BBC had a piece on questioning the validity of media coming out of India. I don't want to put words in their mouth so read for yourself.
