surajmal Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Arnab is averaging 10 hours of studio time so far. I won't be surprised if he sleeps in his office. He is dedicated, nuts or both. tweaker and Gollum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalebi_bhai Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Say what you want about Arnab, he is a smart fellow. Unlike the South Delhi presstitutes, he has recognized that it is profitable to give a voice to the silent majority. He has done his market analysis well.

tweaker Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Arnab Goswami’s new English news channel Republic TV is bang on target. It is very much a reflection of what India has become – a noisy, chaotic place where coherent debate without shouting, screaming and name-calling is impossible.

someone Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hopefully this channel does well. India really needs a global TV. Like CNN, BCC, RT.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Republic TV looks like sarkari TV tbh. It seems daily news is delivered from PMO to Arnab. Can't we have 1 neutral news channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulGame Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hopefully this channel does well. India really needs a global TV. Like CNN, BCC, RT.... U expect an Arnab headed news channel to be of the quality like CNN or bbc ? Only thing he will be best at is shouting match.

Only thing he will be best at is shouting match. Making my opinion based on this video. He has some vision and really knows what he is doing in the bigger scheme. And it could also be two channels like Republic India and Republic World TV. With own global news channel, we can tell the Indian narrative of things which we currently have none. That's so important nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishra Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Mohammed Shahbuddins case where he plays a taped conversation between Lalu and Shahabuddin. Shabuddin is complaining that because police fired, his goons couldnt start religious riot. He also highlights how Shahabuddin house raid last time gave away, not just standard AK-47 but really advanced military grade laser guided guns and other ammunition.

And that's actually a good thing. The global channels are highly opinionated and we need one like them to compete with them. There really aren't any proper neutral news. That youtube video in my last post showcases this point as well. CG and Ironhide 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That youtube video in my last post showcases this point as well. You mean they have an agenda and they indulge in propaganda yes but the presentation and perceptions is crutial. Arnab makes news for far less intelligent and less exposed viewers so he has to be 'breaking news' ' expose' ' shocking revelation' etc, and besides he has to be an opinionated moderator who does not allow his guests to speak, thats the way he rolls and i like it but global news no, too visibly opinionated and emotional.

Gollum Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Arnab is doing well exposing stuff like Lalu-Shahabuddin tape. 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. Rohit S.

tweaker Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Former Union minister and diplomat Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday rubbished as “misrepresentations and outright lies” the allegations made by Arnab Goswami’s Republic TV to question Tharoor’s actions after his wife Sunanda Pushkar’s death in 2014. The previous night, the newly launched news channel had aired 19 audio tapes in its purported exposé of the Congress parliamentarian’s actions.

Now we are entering an era of unchallenged one party rule and there is no space for dissent/different political ideology/tough questions. Question the content, not the news source. There is a legitimate proof with the audio. Yet, no other media has shown it nor discussed it. It shows the big influence a convicted criminal like Lalu has on media. Convicted criminals, anti-nationals, anarchists are the new heros in the media today. Next, if anyone is the biggest victim of fake & completely biased news, it's BJP and Modi. As opposition pre-2014, they were abused daily by this media and post-2014, they have been unfairly targeted and highly scrutinized. There are thousands of cases of lie big, then apology small. UPA and their Gandhis never faced any real questioning by this media. With Republic TV, there is more competition in the media, and that should be welcomed. So why is the leftist media afraid of competition? Why do they want complete domination and offer no space for social media or RWs?
