Views on Unsubscribing English Newspaper

My husband and I are tempted to unsubscribe all English newspapers as we find news to be increasingly biased in favour of businesses in ET Mint etc and in TOI HT in favour of Governments as opposed to consumer and public.

Then there is the whole question of latency where news has become real time and by the time its in paper its old. Teenage kids rarely read the news paper. And we are reading 10 out of 30 days.

What is the experience of other members of the circle?

I sense a little MDS(Modi Derangement Syndrome) here. I don't see any favor for the govt but good news good projects that will affect the market have to be reported. It seems you don't want to know any good things the govt are doing. That being said News outlets especially financial ones have always been serving "Big players" these do not include businesses because if "big player" who hold shares in any business if they want to sell it or short it and make money the News outlet will not think twice to spread bad news about a business to bring down the share price for bribe from "big Players' These Big player could include business like Investing firm and hedge fund companies. The news is old lets say good news about a company for example a small cap company getting a govt contract which will increase the price. These "Big players" know the news before hand and no not let the news outlet publish it until they can manipulate the share price make it crash enter it at a low price and then when it comes up by a safe % that is around 10 to 20% they will allow the news outlet to spread the news. Reading the news Retailers will start buying the share it will spike they will hit UC and then when it goes above a certain amout the "Big Players" dump their stocks to the retailers. Then short it and crash the price. SO retailers then become investors if they don't feel like exiting at loss.
Many a items, which should come as News, never comes.
It is true that english newspapers are pro business and govt except some exceptions as I could see in The Hindu. Through their beautiful english they try to create excellent environment to kill public interest like killing UTI about 30 years back, killing Sahara, now trying to kill Vendanta who had an excellent dividend policy. These papers do not question the Corporate Decisions like vanishing of GTB (Global Trust Bank), Ispat Profiles etc and now the latest RELIANCE CAPITAL. Damn it how come the retails customers holding share thinking of this becoming a Scheduled Bank had suddenly decided to Delist and thereby rob the invested money of small investors?? Who is Hinduja to decide to delist and rob crores of rupees of public money. If they are paying to Reliance Capital some thing then some thing should come to the Customers??? This is too much my dear yellow papers (Economic ).
English news papers now serve Government and Businesses not people RIP
HT TOI are more into selling Ads than bringing news of any interest for common man! I read Hindu but not any news about politics but social news and editorial and some other informative content.
