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)

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?

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)
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.
