Your weekly dose of all the insanity that passes off as news on TV.
This week on TV Newsance, we look at how TV news anchors got excited about PM Narendra Modi announcing a “Rs 20 lakh crore package”, aka Atma Nirbharta. Much excitement. Or why Arnab Goswami is a teenager in love.
We also look at how TV news channels covered the migrant crisis. NDTV has a new show called Desh Ki Baat, which gave us a reality check. Unfortunately, that can’t be said for many of our beloved news anchors. Watch.
