#MediaRumble

[@abhishektoshniwal7631]

So Shekhar got visibly and strongly admonished by Abhinandan at 28:35 which was correct to my opinion. But only a very well read and smart journalist like Shekhar can give it back with such grace, wit and aplomb at 43:18 45 minutes spent well for a viewer.

[@codered81]

Abhishek Toshniwal shekhar exposed the arnab in abhinandan

[@kshitijraaj8374]

@Shashi Deshmukh Totally agree with you, this is problem with most of the so-called experts, that they think they know it all. They don't want to give audience an option to make their own opinion and decide, they just want to influence and manipulate. Shekhar, was trying to make it like stupid main stream media.

No excuse for bad behaviour. We have been taught to behave/speak properly with our seniors. Even if we do not agree with their point of view. Showcases that Sekhri (I really like his newslaundry) has a long way to go....

Let's admit Shekhar Gupta has brains.

[@MrEtronic]

interesting friction between two people i respect very much SG and Anandhan , SG with classic master class on facts over emotions . Anandhan with moral high ground and fire works .

[@darshan7267]

I do admire and follow Shekhar Gupta, but this time he totally and rightly succumbed to completely logical idea which this debate was called for. Sekri 1(won) : Gupta 0(Null). And media can and must question anything and anyone. High five at end was screenshot of debate. Keep going NL Keep going ThePrint, wire, swaraj..etc Let's change the status quo. Public sab janati hai...ye public hai...

This is one of the best panel discussions I have seen in a long long time. I just realized I had completely given up on watching these since the last 2-3 years.

[@bhuvnesh47]

Shekhar Gupta worked really hard to make a point that this whole thing is irrelevant, but the fact he is here proves the point, it could be irrelevant but he knows it's important.

@@kshitijraaj8374 I know I am late here and this is just nitpicking, but Abhinandan is not a 'young' dude, he is in his mid 40s, so basically he is a middle aged dude, Ravish Kumar is a year younger than Abhinandan.

[@smritimoyhalder605]

Omg 😳 never seen Shekhar so worked up

[@atinjanki2651]

Shekhar was agitated at times, but didn't lose his cool. All the panelists were great in the way they put forth their points. P.S. It was cool to see Abhinandan feel threatened by Shekhar.

[@advaitshanker8498]

Little hypocritical of Abhinandan to expect Shekhar to not interrupt him when he has done the some to his guests and Manisha in one of his podcasts

[@mraghul]

Abhinandan is the moderator..who wants to debate on "calling out our own - is it good or bad" and then when he doesnt allow shekhar to talk, he says I am not Arnab'.. is he fit for being a moderator, who should be neutral????

[@victor256in]

No. And he's just another charsi elite pretentious leftist. Not a journalist. Not a comedian.....just a joke.

[@LalitTanwar]

I think he wanted others to talk too, Shekhar has this tendency to keep talking without listening, making it one-sided , not debate.

[@mraghul]

Shashi Deshmukh the question is not on abhinandans behavior but on abhinandans neutrality. As a moderator he should be neutral on the topic being debated. He says “I am not Arnab” while the topic being debated is “calling out our own “. Very ironic. Before you write comment which is totally unrelated to what is being discussed in the comments section, I would recommend you to first read and understand what is written here and respond appropriately. Cheers

[@kshitijraaj8374]

@@mraghul Before Abhinandan interrupted Shekhar, Shekhar spoke for more than 11 minutes out of 28 minutes. In a debate, every one should be given equal opportunity, I don't understand where is the issue. To me Shekhar misbehave Abhinandan interrupted. Don't make this debate about, who should say what?

[@jayap3557]

[@johnm9567]

Guyz.............SG: was trying to make a point on GAFA sponsoring a lot of media events; at the same time he was trying to have a dig at NL with the same stone. AS: knew where SG is going so tried to cut him short, (rivalry at its best). RJ: as usual is a soft spoken rightest brahmin-like, so would not go far to annoy anyone, but would make a self-serving point. SN: was most objective and to the point, although delivery was not upto mark; Finally SV: made the most sense, we need more 'defector's' like him to correct the course of Indian Godhi media. But greed has to play in full and get stretched until then journalism will, regretably, ride piggy back on corporate money and interests . An ex-journalist.

[@jayap3557]

Self importance in pointless roles of media representatives - especially in the indian-english area makes these people utterly insignificant. Gupta praises people in Murdoch's employment as those who do extensive research - there he is right. Indian media is full of people who work at a very superficial level. They write using templates and create very boring, insipid copy - and the main reason is that english just does not sit pretty on our faces. On the other hand the national language media imitate the english language media's every move... so that renders them even less important... and then i heard one of these guys say Radia...and switched off. These people are corrupt in addition to being inefficient and ineffective.
