Arnab Goswami Targeted Kohli For Bengaluru Stampede Deaths But He Didn't Even Reported Mumbai Tragedy - Sick!
Arnab Goswami, one of India’s most polarizing news anchors, is once again under public scrutiny — this time for what netizens are calling a glaring display of hypocrisy and selective outrage. Just days ago, Goswami unleashed a fiery tirade against indian cricketer virat kohli, bizarrely blaming him for the tragic Bengaluru stampede that occurred during a free food distribution event associated with his brand.
The outrage was loud, dramatic, and filled primetime hours. However, when five people died falling from an overcrowded local train in mumbai — a grim and recurrent reality for the city’s commuters — his channel remained almost entirely silent. This glaring contrast hasn’t gone unnoticed.
The comparison, while tongue-in-cheek, cuts deep into the logic of sensationalist blame tactics that Goswami and his network frequently employ. His silence on the mumbai deaths suggests not a lapse in awareness, but a conscious editorial choice — one that data-aligns with a broader pattern of ignoring stories that may reflect poorly on BJP-governed areas or national agencies.
This latest controversy reinforces the growing public perception that journalism, especially in certain tv news circles, has become more about agenda-setting than truth-telling. Arnab’s earlier days, when he claimed to be the torchbearer of fearless journalism, now stand in stark contrast to his selective outrage and partisan bias. As netizens continue to raise these inconsistencies, the credibility of such platforms erodes further. Journalism’s core responsibility is to speak truth to power — not shield it. And when that balance is lost, public discourse becomes a theatre of noise, not a forum of accountability.
