The Times News Channel and Arnab Goswami Need a Kick up their pants

Arnab goswami thinks he is the monarch of the news world. He shouts and rants and skins a news item even if dead. I wonder what he has achieved and I think the first man who needs investigation himself is Arnab Goswami. One has only to see that he is obsessed with the cases of Sushma Swaraj and Vasundhara Raje to the detriment of other cases.

A news channel is supposed to be balanced and at the same articulate the social changes around a nation. Unfortunately Arnab Goswami has failed as he is obsessed with sometimes infructuous  cases. I agree that corruption cases are important, but surely Arnab can also highlight other news items , especially that affect the Indian nation's security.

In this case Arnab is so intent in his own megalomaniac dreams that an agitation like One Rank One Pension does not figure in his and the Times channel News hour.  He has no time for it and yet this is a factor affecting morale of the armed forces.  The forces are the sentinels of India and now the ex servicemen are agitating for parity in pay and allowances and better pensions.  Yet Arnab, intent like the Pied Piper of Hamlin is on his own net. His channel has not only let the forces down  but made the Times channel itself into a shouting match. Is this news?.

That is the reason I say that Arnab Goswami himself needs investigation and I am aware that many skeletons will come out that will show this man in true light.

Devyani Khobragade has a lot to Answer: Financial Irregularities

. The Lady looks demure, but thats about all Devyani Khobragade is in the news. This Indian Foreign service officer was arrested by the New York police on charges of Visa fraud and violation of the minimum wages act in the USA. The Indian press led by Arnab Goswamy of Times News Channel have gone overboard in defending Devyani. I wonder how a responsible person like Arnab, who is the sheet anchor of the Times Channel, could have overlooked certain other facts. The treatment meted to Devyani need not be thought of as special as I have even seen photographs of the great Micheal Jackson being handcuffed.
Jackson Handcuffed What needs to be highlighted is the amassment of wealth by this lady. No channel except Headlines Today (which made a passing reference) to the wealth amassed by Devyani. She reportedly took a flat worth 2 million dollars by ‘Irregular’ means in the Adarsh housing society. Her name is mentioned in the inquiry commission’s report as a person who took the flat by giving false documents. Incidentally these flats were meant for war widows. Obviously this calls for action and the complete takeover of the flat. Will Arnab bring this to the fore? The lady has also 34 acres of prime wine land in Nasik. How did she manage it? It’s about time the news channels brought her activities under the scanner and not keep harping on her treatment in the USA, which in any case was nothing out of the ordinary
