Arnab Goswami's successor at Times Now, Rahul Shivshankar, launched his own
signature show last night (January 23) with much fanfare. India Upfront succeeds Goswami's Newshour and guess what, does much the same thing. Hollers away about the misdeeds of this government's critics. The story on Teesta Setalvad by the anchor's own admission was based on material already in the public domain. Excerpts from an HRD report were read out by a reporter, questions that have been asked before by her critics were asked, and overall the show would have gladdened hearts in the ruling dispensation. But why launch a new show without a new story to tell?
