Your weekly dose of all the insanity that passes off as news on TV channels.
There’s news, there’s sense and there’s nuisance. This show is all about that last bit. Kyunki thoda pagalpan bhi zaroori hai. This week, Narendra Modi met Prasoon Joshi and it got Rahul Shivshankar of Times Now a little too excited. Shivshankar was bowled over by how ‘unprecedented’, ‘unscripted’ and amazing the whole interaction was going to be. For us, though, it seemed like a nice, feel-good PR event. The Kathua case continued to dominate the news and Sudhir Chaudhary of Zee News took forward the work of Jammu lawyers with his show #KathuaKaSach.
