TV Newsance 251: TV media’s silence on Revanna ‘sex abuse’ case, Modi’s News18 interview
Your weekly dose of all the insanity that passes off as news on TV.
Manisha is back to bring you all the crazy stuff on TV news. The major story of the week was the Prajwal Revanna “sex abuse” controversy that rocked the country and its political corridors.
But, unfortunately, our women anchors, such as Anjana Om Kashyap and Rubika Liyaquat, decided to ignore it in favour of their usual Modi bhakti. Navika did hold a debate about it, but after watching it, we wish she had not.
Meanwhile, our dear leader appeared on CNN-News18 to answer how he manages to make “so many tough decisions” and how he still has “so much energy”. Basically, as usual, it was a campaign speech disguised as an interview.
