The man turned a child in a bore well into breaking news within a spam of four hours. An event which was not even news turned into breaking news which was covered by all leading news channels. With Times Now "Getting there first ".
The IAS Umashankar ' Exclusive ' is Arnab shaking up a very boring news day and deciding in a very long edit meeting the "breaking news on Newhour " . A man who has been preaching for three years against death threats and attacks suddenly finds himself in the midst of A political controversy. Every journalist worth his salt must have knon him and his extreme views and of course his work. They must have even reported the on and off attacks on him.
But it takes the genius of AG to take the old been there forever fact and turn it into breaking news.
So one fine day the man is invited to say what he will obviously say and few minutes, flashy graphics later Viola we have breaking news !!!
What he says is far fetched as far fetched as god being in an idol or the concept of mata ka bulawa or Reiki. As a Indian faith is a very strong part of who we are, why is this man's faith so difficult to digest ? because he is a christian ?
The current government flies saffrom proud. The shudhikaran of Christians by BJP MP'S or even 25th December as Governance day hardly got any eyeballs. A over zealous government officer who talks about his belief in his spare time suddenly is news of the day.
If anybody is raking up religious sentiment is this very government. Three years his work was not news nor did the government think he was violating any laws.DID YOU HEAR ABOUT HIM BEFORE ? If a BJP MP can propagate his belief in his spare time despite being in office this dude surely can. I wonder whats wrong with this government don't they know they are screwing their own cause.
Its like watching a teenager commit suicide at a point blank range.
Next time you watch Times Now please remember it is "infotainment " and if you are a media vehicle please try and use your brains before you jump on the ARNAB Bandwagon all you are doing is helping him increase his TRP'S
