\u201cWill Rahul, Yechury and Kejriwal apologise?\u201d<\/em> \u201cShould Rahul apologise for top Congress leader’s abuse?\u201d \u201cShould those who claimed Sunanda had a ‘natural death’ <\/em>apologise<\/em><\/strong> now that HC has called the death unnatural?\u201d<\/em> Republic TV\u2019s quest for the apology is legendary. In the four months since the channel has been launched, it has made over 20 such \u2018calls for apology\u2019. Going by the sheer number of such tweets, one would expect at least a few of these to be addressed to the government, holding it to account for its promises? One would also expect that the channel, that never misses out on asking for an apology, also holds itself to high standards and apologises when it errs. It turns out that we are wrong on both counts.<\/p>\n

The Republic<\/em>\u2019s \u2018call for apology\u2019 has a very interesting feature. Yes, you guessed it right. It is always addressed to the Opposition and the liberals. Never has the channel asked for the government or a leader of the ruling party to apologise for anything. In the Republic<\/em> world, it is all about hounding the opposition and holding it to account. Let us take a quick look at some of the popular targets:<\/p>\n

Opposition Leaders<\/h3>\n

Opposition leaders have been regularly reminded by the channel to apologise for one issue or the other. From Rahul Gandhi<\/a>, to Arvind Kejriwal, from Sitaram Yechury to Akhilesh Yadav, from Owaisi to Siddaramaiah<\/a> to no one<\/a> has been spared by Republic<\/em> in its frenzied call to apologise. As in the case of the hashtags run by the channel<\/a>, the target is always the Opposition. It is surprising that the channel that claims to be \u201cIndia\u2019s only independent news venture\u201d has no questions addressed to the government in four months. Not one?<\/p>\n

Liberals<\/h3>\n

After the opposition leaders, it is the liberals who earn the wrath of Republic<\/em>. The channel is obsessed with exposing the hypocrisy of what it calls ‘pseudo<\/strong> liberal’ or \u2018pseudo secular\u2019 brigade. So much so that it rarely uses the term liberal or secular without adding \u201cpseudo\u201d as a prefix to it. From the position of a moral high ground, it believes itself to be \u2018genuine\u2019 as opposed to \u2018pseudo\u2019<\/p>\n

In the name of the Army<\/h3>\n

In line with its pitch of hyper nationalism, Republic TV<\/em> frequently asks for an apology for real and imaginary insults to the army. Opposition, liberals and human rights groups<\/a> have been asked by Republic TV<\/em> to apologise for insulting the Army. Sometimes the calls for an apology are accompanied by hashtags like #LeftInsultsArmy<\/a> and #AkhileshInsultsMartyrs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An apology demanded for every issue<\/h3>\n

Others who have been asked by Republic<\/em> to apologise are \u201cTejpal backers\u201d<\/a>, those claimed Sunanda Pushkar had a natural death<\/a>, Triple Talaq supporters<\/a>, Fatwa cleric in Sonu Nigam\u2019s case<\/a>. The list is endless.<\/p>\n

But where is the apology from Republic<\/h3>\n

It is only fair that we also ask Republic<\/em> to apologise for the times it has misled the viewers. Here are some of the instances where we ask Republic TV<\/em> some questions in its own style:<\/p>\n

1. Will Republic TV apologise for misleading its viewers for airing a fake story about non-payment of bills by Jama Masjid?<\/em><\/p>\n

Taking the cue from Postcard news<\/em>, a leading fake news website, Republic<\/em> wrongly reported<\/a> about the Jama Masjid being in darkness due to non-payment of electricity bills. This fake claim was made even after BSES had clarified it to be a rumor. The Republic TV<\/em> team went to the mosque and misreported. \u201cWhile investigating why the mosque was dark, the team snooped outside Bukhari\u2019s residence counting the number of cars and recording their make but didn\u2019t ring the bell to verify if the story was indeed true. It also did not occur to the team to ask those around whether the mosque is usually lit at night and what time the lights are normally switched off at night. Funnily the reporter pointed out to a lit board at the gate but it didn\u2019t occur to him how the board could be lit when the electricity was indeed cut off. On the basis of this so-called investigation, Republic TV broke the news about BSES giving a jolt to Jama Masjid due to non-payment of over four crores.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

After their lies were called out by Alt News<\/em>, Republic<\/em> quietly deleted<\/a> its tweet and video. There was no apology, no expression of regret, no explanation\u2026 Imam Bukhari has now reportedly sent a legal notice<\/a> to the channel for carrying a fabricated story.<\/p>\n

2. Will Republic TV apologise for the way it treated the father of the child found murdered in a Gurugram school?<\/em><\/p>\n

In its search for a \u2018super exclusive\u2019 Republic<\/em> journalist reportedly heckled<\/a> the grieving father of the child murdered in Ryan International School. The entire episode was caught on video and brought much shame to the channel but still did not elicit an apology.<\/p>\n

3. Shouldn\u2019t Republic TV apologise for misquoting the Home Minister of Karnataka on Gauri Lankesh\u2019s murder.<\/em><\/p>\n

Republic TV<\/em> twisted a statement of the Karnataka Home Minister relating to the investigation regarding the murder of Gauri Lankesh. Many of those present at the time expressed surprise at the claim made by Republic<\/em> as they were not witness to such the statement. In a conversation with Alt News<\/em> the minister himself denied<\/a> making any such statement. <\/p>\n

4. Will Republic TV apologise to its viewers for sharing fake news about Arundhati Roy\u2019s statement regarding Indian Army?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t take this lying down\u201d, \u201cpunish Pak puppets\u201d, \u201cArundhati\u2019s abuse, Pak\u2019s headline<\/em>\u201d Republic TV<\/em> led a tirade<\/a> against Arundhati Roy over fake news about a statement she never made. <\/p>\n

\n

— Republic (@republic) May 22, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even after the news turned out to be fake, there was no retraction or apology from Republic TV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

5. Shouldn\u2019t Republic TV apologise to its viewers for presenting a picture from a food festival as some sort of a conspiracy?<\/em><\/p>\n

In July this year, Republic TV<\/em> ran a hashtag #VadraChinaTalks posting a picture of Robert Vadra with the Chinese envoy. \u201cWhat\u2019s Vadra\u2019s job with the Chinese envoy?\u201d<\/em> asked the channel.<\/p>\n

\n

— Republic (@republic) July 18, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The image turned out to be from a Chinese food festival<\/a> that was also attended by several others like the then Railway minister Suresh Prabhu, Sitaram Yechuri from CPIM, KC Tyagi from JDU and other leaders from BJP such as Tarun Vijay and Udit Raj.<\/p>\n

The issue was forgotten as soon as the reality behind the picture emerged. The channel did not consider it to be a cause for any embarrassment or apology.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

In the last four months, it is clear that Republic TV<\/em> doesn\u2019t question the government on anything and constantly distracts its viewers from doing so. As if that was not enough, the channel also keeps up a constant attack on the Opposition and its leaders. Liberals are a favourite target and in many instances it has labelled those who look at the government with a critical lens as pseudos, frauds, shallow foreign funded anti-nationals, maoist sympathisers, cocktail activists and pseudo-secular brigade.<\/p>\n

The list is long and we will take a pause. We have not even started talking<\/a> about the recent video in which the Editor-in-Chief of Republic TV Arnab Goswami, was caught narrating a personal experience of his former colleague, Rajdeep Sardesai during the Gujarat riots as his own. Many of those who worked with NDTV at the time were witness not only to the incident but also to Goswami being in Delhi when it took place. Republic has a lot to explain. The nation waiting for not one but several apologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
