If you have been fed up with the daily banter of Arnab Goswami debates, here is some support. Arun Shourie in a very funny manner (video below) explains the exact problem with The News Hour and Arnab Goswami.

They are famous and have gone a long way in making Times Now the number one news channel. They have made Arnab Goswami and subjects of his debate trend on Twitter.

In the beautifully articulated words of Swapan Dasgupta, " On air he becomes a voice of indignation, anger and even insolence. These are qualities which the little man doesn’t possess in abundance. He wants to kick the errant netas. Since he can’t, he is happy for Arnab do it for him. " While this hope has increased TRPs of Times Now News Hour debate, it has also lead to an almost three day continuous trending of Arnab Goswami . Here is a list of tweets that were really funny.  Once Rajnikanth taught a baby to talk...that baby was named Arnab Goswami! Arnab Goswami might probably be the only guy in the world to fight with his wife and win. Apparently the Indian Army has decided to deploy its deadliest weapon yet code named Arnab Goswami ;) If Arnab Gos...
