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:

OpIndia
 
Type of site
Fake news[8]
Right-wing politics[9][10]

OpIndia
 
Type of site
Fake news[8]
Far-right politics

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.
