When Hate Travels Across Borders: Why Arnab’s Godi media Got a Slap in Nepal
The incident of an R Bharat journalist getting slapped in nepal isn’t just a stray episode of hostility—it is a reflection of how the venom spewed by tv studios in india has started to backfire globally. Here’s a breakdown of why this happened and what it really means for “Godi Media”:
1. The Legacy of Venom
For years, anchors like arnab goswami have built their brands on loud, abusive, and divisive “debates” that thrive on hatred rather than journalism. When such narratives travel across borders, they don’t command respect—they invite backlash.
2. The Godi media Tag Is Global Now
It’s not just indians who roll their eyes when they hear “Godi Media.” Even Gen Z in nepal, with their smartphones and social feeds, know exactly which channels serve propaganda and which ones stand for journalism.
3. When Shouting Meets Reality
Inside a studio, anchors shout down guests, mute mics, and control narratives. But outside those walls—on the streets of Kathmandu or anywhere else—the real world answers back. Sometimes, quite literally, with a slap.
4. A Lesson in Credibility
News credibility is earned, not screamed into existence. The slap in nepal symbolises what happens when media houses trade facts for fury and journalism for jingoism—they lose trust everywhere, even among neighbours.
5. The youth Are Not Blind
Today’s generation consumes media across platforms. They can smell bias from miles away. When they see reporters from channels that constantly demonise, distort, and divide, their reaction is not reverence—it’s rejection.
6. The Boomerang of Propaganda
Propaganda is like a boomerang. You fling it far and wide, but one day it circles back and hits you square in the face. The nepal slap is that boomerang moment for Godi Media.
7. Journalism or Jingoism?
What happened in nepal is a reminder that the world can tell the difference. Journalism seeks truth, asks hard questions, and builds trust. Jingoism shouts, insults, and ultimately gets slapped—if not literally, then in reputation.
👉 The takeaway? When your entire business model is hate, sooner or later, the hate finds its way back. And no decibel level can shout that truth down.
