Does Arnab Goswami from Times Now even listen to the guests in his show?

[Strike Rate]

Here is the video clip http://www.timesnow.tv/videoshow/4465001.cms

Is he an anchor or a lecturer instead of asking question he started putting his words in Qamar Zaman Kaira mouth so he left the debate mid-way. This is not the first time i have seen anchor doing the same in many shows

 

[Strike Rate]

I remember how Musharraf once replied to this guy in his show. I wish there was Musharraf instead of Qamar Zaman Kaira there!

He doesn't even look tough. I am ashamed of people like him representing us on news channels.

 

[RWAC]

This could be any of his daily "debates". He just shouts over people, does not let them answer while repeatedly bleating "Will you answer today?"/"the nation wants to know...".

I used to watch his show during the 2014 elections only because the debate topics were interesting, and participants were mostly influential people. Couldn't continue watching for too long.

India's Bill O rielly

This kind of bullying/aggressive 'journalism' sells


It also annoys me more than crap like Hannity becuase both Arnab and O rielly are to smart to believe in half the things they say

 

[cricketjoshila]

Arnab put facts in front of Kaira and he ran away.

Its a fact that ZAB signed the Shimla agreement and agreed to do away with any plebicite in Kashmir.And Kaira was trying to invoke the same ZAB to justify Bilawals rant.

Secondly Pakistan refused to implement the UNSC resolution on Kashmir and didnt remove its troops and the world saw the hypocrisy of Kashmir hence the UNSC hasnt discussed Kashmir in 50 plus years despite Pakistans pleadings.

About time Pakistani leaders find another issue to garner votes as they will never take an inch of Kashmir from India.

Imran never bashed India in any of his speeches current PM Nawaz is very pro India and even thogh the elections were rigged but there is no doubt PML N got most number of votes and again without any India bashing. Its just a desperate attemp and being out of touch with things that led Baby Bhutoo to go in an anti India rant.

[cricketindiafan]

Thats his idea of generating TRPs and he gets those eyeballs for his show.

Quality of debates is pathetic, the anchor shouts for more then 50% of the time allocated to the show, gets too many guests who never debate in a civil way. Used to watch him earlier, stopped it completely since the elections.

sorry to burst your bubble but India is a non issue during our election season or the political narrative generally. Not one party focused on India during the election because they know that most of the electorate doesn't make their decision with that topic in mind. Quite opposite of the Pakistani-obsession which happened in the Indian elections recently with both major parties invoking Pakistan one way or another a few times at least.

If Pakistan have to pull out it's troops out of Kashmir, then India has to do the same, otherwise there still wouldn't be a referendum because the Indians would annex lands Pakistan would pull out from -there can't be a referendum under Indian troops, it would rigged like what happened in Sikkim, so Pakistan has real concerns.

Pakistan may have signed the Shimla agreement but India violated it after they started a war over Siachen back in the 80s, so that deal is void now.

 

[KarachiKing]

As for Kashmir issue, I don't mind the status quo.

In Pakistani Kashmir, there is minimal present of troops and there is no uprising or revolt for freedom. Locals are generally happy to at worst, okay with how the thiings are set. If anything they want to be recognized as fully part of Pakistan. On the other hand in the Indian side there are still some locals who are brave enough to fight for their freedom and India definitely has in issue there despite having the biggest army deployment there

Its a UNSC resolution and the integrity of maintaining it would have fallen on UN.If the UN said that Pakistan had to withdraw and India can keep a minimum amount of forces then thats it.If India tries any mischief UN would take care of it.And remember this resolution was passed almost 60 years ago and India then could hardly afford to mess with UNSC members.

Arnab despite his annoying traits , is easily the most effective news anchor in India today .He's exposed a lot of UPA scams that's paved the way for Modi and co so no complaints from me..as long as he gets the job done.

I don't trust our ratings system as there seems to be no objectivity. One my friends is a Mass Comm. student and he once informally polled his family about what they watch during prime time - it turns out that less than 10% ever tune into Times Now. I am guessing this will be representative across India - till date, I have never come across a single person who likes this show - not even one.

And to OP, no - he doesn't give a damn about the answer. His job is to SHOUT-A-LOT and maybe throw a few questions here and there ...

A part of this is confirmation bias, you will see what you see, ignore what you don't want to see. People in India would think Kashmiris are generally happy, the some locals who want to fight are being misled and armed by others, the army deployment is to protect innocent against terrorists, etc

Yeah this is the impression I got too. I think Kashmir is brought up like some Indian politicians bring up hindutva, love jihad, etc. Just to please some local audience but not significant in the overall elections

maybe. Unlike our brethren I don't see things blindly so not ruling it out. Ive heard the insurgency and anger is much less now compared to 20 years ago so who knows. Problem with Kashmir is the lack of third party sources of information.

[Markhor]

I've watched his show, he is appalling. Constantly interrupts his guests and always looking to manufacture controversy.

When the Army stepped in to mediate during the Sharif-Qadri-IK standoff last year he kept banging on about how a 'soft coup' had taken place and wouldn't let any of his guests talk, pushing this agenda that the army had taken over behind the scenes as if they don't call the shots already.

He's unfortunately one of many modern day TV anchors like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity who think confrontation and rhetoric is a substitute for good, facts-led journalism.

He looks like a Star Plus type actor to me more than anchor.

I have seen few talk shows of this guy. I feel he is well balanced and not the ones like Arnab or Lucman.

In my list Lucman is the worst followed by Arnab. Lucman will get few guests who completely agree to his views and then as a group they will just agree to each others views. Never understood what is the point of discussion/debate in his shows.

Yea Moeed is a good one. Lucman is mostly about mirch masala just like Arnab they both are carbon copies of each other. Lucman started his career from showbiz and later ex governor punjab salman taseer convinced him to do a current affair show on his tv channel business plus and from there his journey started and he changed like 5-6 News channels during last 8 years.

Definatley the worst. If this joker is the best anchor India have then the others should not be mentioned at all. All he is after is to put his words in the guest's mouth. He is too biased and doesn't know the art of being neutral. As I have said earlier the way he behaves he would not have survived 1 sec here in Norway.

The same way India are listening when the UN were about to come over for a human rights inspection in IOK ?

I just discovered this guy, haven't seen anything like it anywhere else. Why would anyone turn up on this show as a guest to get insulted and shouted at? Do the guests get paid a lot of money to sit through this torture?

He is not neutral on purpose. He has his own opinion and own agenda and tries to convince his guests who has other opinion then him on a subject.

Not my cup of tea. Most of his show is only shouting and nothing else.

 

[90MPH]

How on earth he gets so many ratings only the Indians can tell us.

It's not even a debate show but a shouting contest with incredible bias that would make Fox News look pale and neutral in comparison.

I have been watching his shows lately for pure comedy theatre.

 

[90MPH]

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Its not just an Indian thing. Every nation have section of people who while being pro-national lose all objectivity and since India's population is huge the section that like to hear him will obviously seem large.

Trust me there are journalist that let guests speak in a debate , like Barkha or Rajdeep Sardesai. They are called pseudo secularist because they don't just keep on bashing the Pakistani guests and from time to time question the government's policy and decision making.

As for Arnab the guy is a joke. A journalist on air says "If you shout, I will shout 20 times higher", what is it a gully mohalla discussion?

Honestly I don't know how he gets guests to repeat on his show, when he speaks its like he's r-ping your ears. And there are some who feature almost daily on his show , I hope they at least get paid well.

 

[PakLFC]

It's all about ratings, nothing else. Arnab is argumentative and childish for his age. Patriotism is one thing but an anchor has to be impartial that he never is. Even many Indian people find him to be an embarrassment and celebrities leave his shows in between leaving him with a red face.

 

[PakLFC]

Arnab is a reflection of Indian society as a whole. Rude, ill mannered and overtly patriotic minus and ounce of logic in his body. When someone shows him the mirror he starts shouting his own head off even more His view is simple that India and it's people are complete angels with the rest off the world in particular Pakistanis the very devil himself. Despite being spanked many times he keeps coming for more.

One thing I want to ask my Pakistani friends here Arnab Goswami calls your ex military people for India Pakistan debates then insults them and still next day the same guys come on his show.. Why on earth do they keep coming back if I someone behaved to me like that I would not come back on their show again.. no self respect it seems..

 

[blue_champion]

I feel sometimes he brings Pakistani guests with low IQ and who cater to the popular but wrong Indian stereotype about them that they are all emotionally hyper and hate India.

There are lot of intellectual Pakistanis out there but I think he brings guests who can easily be bullied and make clowns out of themselves...for that I don't appreciate him.

He needs to bring guys like Najam Sethi,Pervez Hoodboy etc and not the Zafar Hilaly and Pirzada's of the world

One Pakistani guest on the show was like we have nuclear weapons and we are going to destroy you...I mean who talks like that ....for a moment I thought he was a times now plant to embarrass the Pakistanis but realized later he was an actual former Pakistani diplomat

I like Arnab because he is the only one who gives corrupt Indian politicians the grilling they deserve. There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing the spokespersons of various political parties squirming uncomfortably in front of Arnab. His campaign against VIP racism is very praiseworthy.

Whether he allows others to speak or not, he has guts, unlike the other bootlickers that pass off as journalists in India.

He's pathetic. But the fact is these journalists are the way they are because people like that. He has crazy ratings because of people who follow him. For me there are very few journalists who I take seriously. All have biases or agendas. Arnab is no different except he is extremely disrespectful and if u do not agree with him he shoves it down your throat.

You cannot change the UN resolution according to your own will.The UNSC resolution allows India to keep a minimum force to maintain security.
