Revision as of 12:03, 10 November 2019

OpIndia is an Indian news portal which claims to be a fact-checking website. It has sympathies towards right-wing populism and has propagated fake news over multiple occasions. In May 2019, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), an affiliate of the acclaimed Poynter Institute rejected its application to be accredited as a fact-checker on grounds of politically partisanism, poor fact-checking methodologies and general polemic commentary, accompanying their news-pieces.

OpIndia was founded in 2014 by Rahul Raj and Kumar Kamal as a current affairs and news website. In October 2016, it was acquired by Kovai Media Private Limited, a Coimbatore-based company that also owns the right-leaning magazine Swarajya.
