Yes, the reader has a right to know whether a news is biased or not. I mean, TOI does carry a line saying, the journalist was on a trip to xyz country sponsored by xyz. Perhaps there could be some transparency around private treaty news as well. However Times group newspapers also carry news about BCCL picking up a stake in xyz company and thus the reader, is more or less aware of their portfolio.
At the same time, it is not the Timesgroup alone which is doing private treaties or is it?
