So, the weekend gone by was pretty action-packed in terms of the news media-wallahs made.It started on Friday, with the news of Supreme Court basically telling Zee News editors Sudhir Chaudhary and Samir Ahluwalia to cooperate or face jail music in the context of the Zee-Naveen Jindal extortion case. The top court has asked the editors to submit their audio samples and read out passages chosen by the Delhi Police and Central Forensic Science Laboratory, which will be vetted by the Supreme Court. Zee editors had earlier refused to submit voice samples, which was one of the terms of consent that helped them get bail.

On Saturday, Times Now Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami broke Twitter, responding to the criticism he had received for his interview with the prime minister. It was his statement on Sagarika Ghose, who is currently consulting editor with Times of India,which caught everyone’s attention. Referring to her tweet on why the PM should hold an open press conference and not bestow favours on individual journalists, which she later deleted, Goswami called her a “has-been anchor who desperately lobbies for an opportunity to be invited on my Newshour debates…”

Goswami called Ghose’s argument “intellectually disjointed” and said an interview is given to those who “command viewership” not to those who “nobody watches”. Can someone please tell these two they work for the same group?

Anyway, this was enough for Twitter to trend #ArnabSlapsSagarika. Sigh.

Meanwhile, some pointed out how Goswami’s response really doesn’t address some of the criticism that was addressed to him. The following Facebook post was written by a journalist working with Catch.
