The media offensive by Republic TV against India Today is far from over, with the channel now targeting anchor Rahul Kanwal over the TRP scam. This comes days after the enforcement directorate gave a clean chit to Republic channels while saying that it had come across “leads that certain households were watching News Nation and India Today in lieu of cash from RMs”.
Earlier this month, Republic TV’s Arnab Goswami treated viewers to “three truths” that they must know. First, there is a “complete and total, abject and a pathetic fabrication of facts against Republic”. Second, there’s “not a shred of evidence” against the channel. And third, there is “sensational evidence” that India Today manipulated TRPs.
