Biased media - a threat to democracy

Arnab Goswami has countless fans in the country. However some people differ from the generally accepted view that Arnab Goswami speaks for the people and asks questions on behalf of the nation. I believe that he comes with preconceived verdicts and not only pronounces his target guilty on his Newshour show but also dispenses the punishment right there. Mr Goswami seems to subdue the voice of dissent and does not allow any room for defense. That's not a fair trial. Anyway, a TV anchor on prime time national channel is not supposed to hold a trial regardless of of how popular they are. Just allow both sides to have a fair debate. A good anchor is supposed to be a clever facilitator of a civil debate.

I urge friends to sit through a few of this popular Newshour show on Times Now at 9pm IST every weeknight, if you haven't already and judge for yourself. Unlike Mr Goswami, I would be happy to hear from everyone regardless of their views being different from mine or similar.
