Your weekly dose of all the insanity that passes off as news on TV.
Narendra Modi addressed the nation at the start of the week and that got our anchors mighty excited. Rajat Sharma took it up a notch with conspiracies against state governments, while Aaj Tak, Republic Bharat and other news channels did a lot of guesswork leading up to the prime minister's speech, and praise after it.
Meanwhile, Prabhu Chawla got an interview with minister Hardeep Puri and he couldn’t stop giggling. Republic TV gave us some funny moments and GD Bakshi seems to have cracked the lab leak versus natural origin theory on Covid.
