But got to say he is very one sided, he never takes on BJP or Modi, always targeting opposition parties. It's as though the daily order comes from PMO about that day's target. But Arnab is no different from NDTV guys who worship the Gandhis and all so called secular parties. Modi sarkar has been absolutely pathetic on many counts, but somehow our desh bhakt channels refrain from highlighting those topics. Got to say UPA sarkars or ABV's NDA never had it this easy with media and journalists. Those times there was proper accountability. Now we are entering an era of unchallenged one party rule and there is no space for dissent/different political ideology/tough questions. He is not soft on the BJP. Check out his videos on Youtube. There are many where he opposed the BJP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm yet to see the Republic TV take on the BJP. Arnab wasn't soft on the BJP, when the BJP was not in power. Not surprising that ground realities always outweigh the urge to have a fixed ideology.

Upto 2015 and early 2016 channels were balanced and use to attack BJP but once they saw Modi popularioty rising particularly after Demo , they stopped questioning BJP and MODi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishra Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 ^ On what grounds? Unless there is enough groundwork What stops them crying vendetta and how court punishes them. For first time in Indian history 3 beureucrats (coal scam)have been convicted. Its about time not just politicians , but beurecrats, share the responsibilty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_B_ Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Arnab knows the middle class lean towards the right wing. They are the English new watchers.

I think you are completely missing the point here that the policies and speeches made by such political parties are seen as against the interest of uniting the country and be progressive for the country as a whole by the BJP. Instead, these parties are seen as trying to appease minorities in order to get a major portion of their vote-share. Opposing Uniform Civil Code, creating special Haj subsidies, etc. are some of those policies. Once a policy is in place, it is hard to undo it.

The best way to be nationalistic is to say the truth. Without bias. Without trying to enforce your perspective on the viewer. Objective reporting in a nut shell. According to me, Arnab is just the upwardly mobile English speaking middle/upper middle class equivalent of Salman Khan. Mass appeal and no substance. Personality driven coverage.
