Guidelines have always been there, they just haven't followed it. It's not the first time Republic Tv has been sued for slander, they have been asked to apologise earlier too by NBSA.

Which is why I mentioned genuine guidelines.

It's the need of the hour. Media houses (not just republic) report without any accountability. Republic indulges in slander every day. The reporting during the Delhi riots was atrocious and NDTV was leading that disaster. India Today reporters were harrasing doctors when they were attending patients and I think it was AOK who got inside an ICU and started questioning a doctor who was doing his job about the condition of the hospital during Bihar floods. There is zero accountabilty which needs to change. Infact should have changed esp after Barkha Dutt's disaster during Kargil and 26/11.

Regarding the current guidelines:

If calling BW 'filth' and 'druggie' goes against their own Programme code(which I don't have much knowledge about tbh), I'm pretty sure calling people fascist and Nazis(which the likes of Faye, NDTV journalists mostly indulge into) must also be against this Programme code. In fact anyone can/will pick any words from a news program and say it hurt their feeling thus was defamatory and ask to pull down the segment.

FOE anyone?

They haven't already? They've been sliming people without any evidence, dealing in Blind Items and playing Alphabet Soup accusations. If they could have dug up some dirt with even an iota of evidence I assume they'd air it. Unless they're just really really lazy.

Abhi toh aur bhi hounding hoga. So far it’s been drugs drugs drugs. Now they’ll be slammed for even putting a foot out of line.

First brands boytcotting them and now Law suits. Itne acche din ki umeed nahin thi 😆

Also does Bollywood think media won’t do counter attack 😆 each and every bolly celebs are problematic and have done crap in the past and still doing it .. their one slip and they will be drag to shreds 😆

and now even fans won’t leave them lol and seeing how shitty each and everyone of them is I am sure they will do something problematic and they will be boycotted 😆

Meanwhile, Kangana's throwing a twitter hissy fit.

I wonder what she minds most. That she wasn't deemed worthy enough to sue or that she wasn't invited by other producers to sue. 😆

That was a burn!! Nothing spites like being ignored after all attempts at attention seeking 🤣

Why only Kangu, I love the egg on every single face which is taken aback with this move and the resulting hissy fits they were throwing- some in the name of laughing it out and some by some more name calling. The frustration is clearly showing😆

Wow great news. About time. Likes of Arnab's are Journalists ke na pe dhabba. Why are they given license at first place? What they do isn't reporting but hatemongering.

Regarding the current guidelines:

I don't think that name calling might be a bigger issue, people can get away with it. It's a matter of how it is done, and how much it is done - what they are doing is harassment. The constant hounding, sensationalisation and fake news without proof is a bigger problem.

The channels can get into trouble for spreading fake news in the name of investigative journalism. They are already under the scanner for TRP scam. Arnab's abetment to suicide case has also been reopened. Seems like he will be battling on all fonts in sometime.

Glad that Bollywood finally found the collective will to take on toxic news channels. Can’t allow your image to be trashed and do nothing about it. Crazy anchors and editors should know that defaming people and levelling charges without evidence has consequences. About time.

Aaj Kal Rahul bahut Khush hain 😂😂
