TV Newsance 250: Fact-checking Modi’s speech, Godi media’s Modi bhakti at Surya Tilak ceremony
Your weekly dose of all the insanity that passes off as news on TV.
Abhinandan is on hosting duties this week, with Manisha on the ground bringing you Another Election Show from states going to vote.
This week, we saw an outburst from a CNBC reporter which reminds us of what can happen when someone is under too much pressure.
Also under pressure was the PM, this time for votes right before the second phase of elections. He was seen and heard making a hate speech against Muslims. We have someone very special to fact-check him.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media was busy questioning the opposition and fawning over the PM as he watched the Surya Tilak ceremony of the Ram idol.
