Bollywood sues Navika, Arnab and gang - Page 34

Media, politics and BW are on the same level I think. No one is better then the other.

But so glad things getting dirty for the news channel too. Maybe they can stop screaming and instead report factual stuff.

Next should be the Youtubers who jumped the bandwagon and maligned so many people, especially the fake theory writers.

Finally some laws in place to report blind item writers too. No more ruining someone’s reputation based on little birdies.

Some youtubers need to be sued for spreading false information in any field.

It’s really just Bollywood being Bollywood. They can’t file some sort of class action lawsuit against these channels and anchors for defamation, nor can they get a blanket ban on reportage. We are a democracy and have freedom of expression. If someone feels defamed, they can file a specific case with evidence.

if only these people worked together against the real problems Bollywood is facing..sexual abuse and harassment, drug addiction, money laundering..then the situation wouldn’t have come to this in the first place.

Edit: demand = defamed

You're right on all counts except you are linking two parallel issues that require separate attention.

1. News media houses reporting and pushing unverified news is not the same thing as FOE. Not even close. There is an internal code of conduct that media houses have to follow. Arnab, Navika and co didnt and are being taken to task for that. Plain and Simple. It's NOT a blanket ban. Freedom of expression laws never are.

2. There may have been a lack of "real unity"in facing threats like harassment- that is correct but money laundering and addiction are not issues that producers guilds can take action on.

The Left has been trying to throttle @TIMESNOW for a while. This is latest attempt by proxy. By selectively commenting about 'toxic' news certain journos are betraying real motive behind the move. It could be you tomorrow. | @aamir_khan @iamsrk @PMOIndia

Of course they can. They just did. 😆

Honestly nothing will come of the case but they will probably settle it privately by firing Navika and Arnab. That is what they do in these cases. The channel will distance themselves from the bad reporting and sacrifice them and both sides will pretend everything is okay now. They will have peace for a while until the news channels start their crap again.

Neither side can carry this on for long. BW needs the media and the media needs BW. People like Navika are not important in the grand scheme of things.

It isn't the left that's throttling it.. Maybe it calls itself left but it certainly isn't..the so called left and right along with their stooges try to throttle each other.

The Indian nomenclature calls pro hindu as right and everyone else as left.. Where are the centrist? Where have they gone?

Navika yes.. Rahul yes but Arnab won't.. He is important. Each channel has its own USP and they won't junk that.. They might stay quiet for some time but will start again..

And they should speak. No narrative should dominate the other. It should be left to people to decide what to watch and what to ignore.

I had no idea Arnab worked in NDTV . So was it NDTV then Times Now and then went on to create his own channel? yeah aur bhi kuch kia hai beech mein?

1. Unverified news and fake news instances should be individually pointed out and yes, channels should retract and be punished if they are found to be serial offenders. But they don’t seem to be specific about which points are supposed to be objectionable/fake. NDTV, the Hindu etc have all in the Past peddled fake news in headlines, then retracting in fine print. Blinds and Gossip mags have been there forever. They ( actors, pedon houses) profit from it mostly. They are now whining about it coz their toxicity & lies have now been exposed on MSM.

2. Money laundering is definitely actionable by prod. Houses as they are responsible for getting finances. If they are in bed with the underworld and hawala channels, they’d obviously never raise their voices. Reg. Addiction, while they definitely can’t take action per se since it’s an individual decision after all, but they can discourage their talents from taking it, stop glamourising drug intake.

At the end of the day, what’s required is a self regulatory body with its own policies and rules about content, financing, sexual harassment etc, which all members should abide by, failing which there can be fines etc..similar to a professional body. There will still be corruption, but at least there will also be accountability. But they are so stupid and full of themselves that this would never ever happen.
