NO PERFECT JOURNALIST


He is noisy. He creates raucous. And for some people He is fish market anchor. Most of you and I am definite certain about this may not know his name but If you see news on English news channels, You probably had seen him grilling Politicians without any point blank hesitation and with full aggression, conducting no holds barred interviews
You must have to know about him because he is the only journalist who is asking tough questions to the Politicians who probably get away most of the times with awestruck interviews. But he is different. he is different because he has views which show it up on camera while other Journalists pretend to be neutral. Is it really fair for us viewers that the journalist whom we are watching has views? We expect a journalist to be fair, First let us be clear on one thing 'Like us every journalist has political bias and choice', for some it's journalistic duty to hide this bias and they consider it as a question of their integrity. Well My friends that's a bad journalism, these are journalists who will talk up about the Politician's family and their pets and will rarely bring up real issues related to you. For some they will be tough and for some they will be stone cold cool. The journalist in the centre has views which he never pretends to deny or hide on air, while he has views that doesn't necessarily means that he ask soft questions to the panelists who share his views, Most of the times his views are Anti-establishment, Anti-Politician and the opinion which our brains usually tend to produce. And that's the main reason its treat to watch him beating down politician. Other Journalists who claim to be neutral have their political bias reflected when they debate with the people of different views, they generally grill these people. These so called neutral journalists have views which are poles apart from the general public perception on the issue. But then they claim to be 'Neutral'. Neutral Journalism in our country are aligned with the western Journalism. Our Neutral Journalists in India never look up matter with the general public eye, their opinion come from their western idol's perception on the issue and that's the unfortunate reason why they consider as neutral. This journalist differs from the rest for this very reason he sees matter with the Indian eye, he is little bit nationalistic, most of the time boiling, little bit dramatic, sometimes irritating, neutrally biased anchor. He is biased because all other award winning, Padma vibhushit anchors are neutral. For all of his sometimes irritating behaviour 'he is the most watched news anchor of this country'.His name is Arnab Goswami This is the man who exposed Rahul Gandhi and This is the man who is boycotted by AAP because they don't want to be questioned. He is doing little but then we have no other choice.
