Hai,

Could you please tell me if the following sentence is grammatically correct?

"Different journalists in different media organizations are against/pro different ideologies of different political parties"

No, it's a little off. Try:

Journalists in different media organizations are against the ideologies of political parties they oppose.​

Journalists in different media organizations are divided in their stance on the ideologies of the different political parties.

There is no mention that they are only against those political parties they oppose.

Thank you all for the reply.

This is the context:
Some journalists in India (within a media organization) support economic development approach (capitalist) of the political party BJP, but are against its extremist religious ideology.
Similarly, some journalists in India support secular ideology of the political party INC, but are against its economic development approach (leftist)

Journalists should be unbiased/impartial. ;-)

Welcome!:flasings:

Similarly, some journalists in India support the secular ideology of the political party INC, but they are against its economic development approach (leftist).

I think you should have started with that. Then you could have added: "Can I sum that up in one sentence?"

Wouldn't it be easier to just report the news rather than thinking that you have to take sides?

Perhaps:

The journalists in India are having trouble deciding which political party to support. That's because they agree with some things about one party, but they disagree with other things about the same party. Similarly, with the other major party, they agree with some things and disagree with other things.
