Times Now Tried Shaming IndianCricket Team. People On Twitter Got#ShameOnTimesNow TrendingInstead

All of India was looking forward to India's semifinal clash against Australia at the SCG. An entire nationheld its breath, and then...India lost. No amount of consoling would matter, as Australia beat India by 95runs. Emotions were running high as messages of support began coming in thick and fast.

However, Times NOW began a shameful debate which berated the cricketteam and the 'superstars' who 'deserved to be thrown out'. Lead by its anchorArnab Goswami, the channel called over 'experts' frothing at the mouth, justwaiting to pounce on the team's only loss in the tournament.

6 weeks of national duty, pain,toil & injury,the team goes down .This

is the garbage Times Now runs at the end :

The Twitterati, as it turned out were smarter than Times NOW might have anticipated. People sawthrough the ploy of the news channel trying to milk the 'National Side' for their personal gains. They stoodby their team.

The only strategy that @TimesNow has -

If there is no news, be the news.

If India had a strong PM, he would have thrown its cricket

team behind bars. Tortured/Mutiliated their bodies.
