Points to note about Republic TV’s video about being attacked.
1) Video is monetised. Obviously, he expects it to go viral and make RepublicTV money from it. A genuine video wouldn’t have required that.
2) He tries hard to act unnerved. But notice how he stops fumbling the moment he starts shouting about the Congress.
3) His guards told him the attackers were Congress. Why? When people see a fight on the road, do they first ask assailants what party they’re from?
4) Goswami wasted no time in pulling top police officials down to the scene, during a lockdown, for what would essentially be called a petty crime if it happened to any of us. Abuse of power, anyone?
5) If you spew hate on national television every day, it’s not surprising that you get attacked. It’s certainly not right, but it’s not surprising.
