Your weekly dose of all the insanity that passes off as news on TV.
We are back this week and some of the INDIA bloc leaders proposed Mallikarjun Kharge’s name as their prime ministerial candidate. This resulted in Arnab giving us a masterclass on voice modulation as we saw him compare Modi’s greatness to Kharge’s lack of qualities. While MPs were being suspended left, right and centre in Parliament, we watched the anchors focus on how the opposition disrespected VP Jagdeep Dhankhar.
Meanwhile, Dawood made his way back to TV news as they managed to kill him again. As rumours spread of the gangster’s demise, we got to see wild “news reports” filled with conspiracy theories, histrionics, and fake news.
