This article is absolutely senseless and lacking justification I think the article writer is also monetised

Aaj tak is absolutely worthless channel they have been monetised through some big bollywood actors,politicians

But the way republic tv has shown the reality of some big names who are ruining the lives of common people is not digestable for some anchors like Rajdeep Sardesai (worst anchor, many times criticised) and some other media hooligans.

I know republic tv is only broadcasting about Sushant case but in future this will create huge impact on the teenagers (those who are blindly following such Bollywood hooligans)

Look at this article...so full of jealousy with no backing data. How did republic tv manipulated data ?? People are watching it because Arnab is a nationalist and honest man. Show me another which is as nationalistic and as honest as Arnab ??

Just because you hide your name, don't think that you are invincible and call people idiots. If you have a point argue ...if don't have a point just be a spectator. One more abuse, you will get your cyber crime summons ( online abuse is an offensible crime ...it may be good idea to educate oneself before posting your opinions online).

Its like saying, when my channel is number 1,it is being watched by critical thinking democratic citizens. But when some other channel beats you at it, its because of half headed fools or bhakts are watching it.

Do you remember Nira Radia episode, cash for votes sting not broadcasted, Modi hounded for a decade without any substance, news anchors joining political parties. Media lost its credibility and a vacuum was created, Arnab has filled that vacuum.

Don't justify we are not fools. Earlier we listen news for interview purposes but now it's for entertainment only. I don't think present generation watches any news but only those fools above 50 yrs. I have personally asked my children not to watch any news for educational purposes

Media bias is in commonly in vogue. X CHANNEL VIEWS A PARTY IS CORRECT AND OTHER one for his taste.

When media is business NOT REPORTING ONLY public knows what is wrongly reported for what reason.

So these figure fighting has no meaning as product of people's choice sells more like any other utility article and even political support.

So long as the mojority of the population is a so called bhakt, whats wrong in appealing to them? Any product manufacturer targets the majority. Those that target the minority do so only hoping for the majority to be divided.

It's nice to see that these nonsense feeding indian entertainment channels call themselves "News" Channels. It's like they've never heard of the term "News" before, so cute!

Running a tv channel is a business, business needs some manipulations. News channels are no exception, but Republic TV crossed all limit just like their mentor political party BJP. We all know the end of limitless growth of anything. HAY RAM.

BJP is the perfect result of the Congress criminality for last 70 years, where, they gave a dystopian narrative of India. Some paid communist historian, intellectuals joined the flotilla of elite Congress and gave us a story of the meaning of India. Otherwise, how come the crime Indira Gandhi and Congress party committed by terrorizing the country in the name of emergency, never got apologized (btw I was not born then but my family and my father was one of the many victims of India Gandhi’s wrath). All current problems of India is the gift of Congress to India. They never spoke for the real have nots of India. People like Arnab may not be correct all the time. But he became the perfect antidote to the dirty cop like Param Vir, the bag carrier of racist Sivsena-Congress combo. TRP is a not at all the issue here. SSR death and the involvement of Aditya Thackeray in is at the heart of the matter. So game on. It is Thackeray govt vs. Republic TV And we got the ring side seat.

If business needs manipulation, then you cannot stop the manipulation to reach its extreme point because you are going with the mindset that it is okay to manipulate and thus you lose all moral and ethical strength to counter its journey from the beginning itself. BJP crossed all limits because Congress's unlimited manupulations too crossed all limits.

It is not Republic. It is the content it presents. They speak the language of the heartland of India. Other channels show fake, secularist, Neruvian concocted compassion for India but Indian mass do not like that elitist view. But what Arnab did he just copied US Fox channel and speak to the kitchen table of the middle literate or semiliterate India. Which is the remarkable and the secret sauce of Republics success.

Just look at the comments here and you'll realise it's not the TRP rigging which is the problem, it's the mind rigging. Republic is not a news channel, it's an entertainment channel and news channels can't compete with that. Problem is people watch republic to consume news and that's true for most of these news channels, republic is just the front runner. Half headed people with no critical thinking can't handle democracy and I think we're about to lose it. In that sense I totally agree with the article.

So in short a democracy is only beautifull as long as its the minority sect that controls it? Once the majority sect gets its say, democracy gets into dangerous territory? N by majority n minority i do not mean religion. I mean the masses and a few pseudo intellects

People become agitated when others have different opinion. NDTV and india today and aaj tak are anto BJP but they are genuine channels. Republic is in favour of BJP so it is biased journalism? This is the fate of India with so called intellectuals gaining prominence in UPA regime

Biased journalist is the killer of integrity in journalism. So what he is doing? Openly supporting a political party which is in power. Which is fraud and brings down the faith on fourth pillory of society
