From Twitter to Facebook, open letters and editorials, memes and videos to even a street protest, #ShameOnTimesNow continues to thrive online.

Editorial:
Firstpost says, #ShameOnTimesNow: A hashtag that was just waiting to happen as “Shame, accuse, judge - that's their motto. Actually, long before Twitter saw the light of the day and the word 'trolling' became a part of our daily vocabulary, Times Now had mastered the brand of conversation we now associate with no-holds-barred brawls on the social media siteâ€.
The Hoot called Times Now’s entire act narcissistic: “It was outrage over the insensitivity, poor journalism and attention-grabbing narcissism of Goswami and his channelâ€.
Protest in Bengaluru
Five people, including an athlete, turned up for a silent march in Bengaluru asking Times Now to get well soon.
