The Supreme Court on Wednesday criticised TV channels and said that it is the duty of an anchor “to see that hate speech doesn't continue the moment someone starts”, NDTV reported. Justice KM Joseph made these observations while hearing a batch of petitions on hate speech.
During the hearing, Justice Joseph noted that the freedom of press was important. He referred to noisy debates on news channels and said, “TV content is for benefit of listener, how will they make up their mind when there's a babble of voices.”
