Different rules

IN Media Watch Briefs | 11/06/2016

Vijender Gupta, BJP MLA in the Delhi Assembly standing on a chair in the House to protest against AAP, was the source of much ridicule on Arnab Goswami's prime time on June 10. But does Goswami employ different rules for different guests on his programme? On June 9 he was at his rudest with both both Shazia Ilmi and journalist Padma Rao telling them repeatedly - 'Don't give me this speech mode..stop!' 'Speak only when spoken to!'  Yet on June 10  when the  BJP's Nupur Sharma, unable to defend her badly behaved MLA, simply shrieked down hysterically every other panelist and insulted them right through the programme, Goswami was at his most patient best.
