TV Newsance Ep 133: Ramdev and his TV news friends with benefits
This week, we look at how two big national news channels, ABP News and Aaj Tak, covered the controversy around yoga guru Ramdev's statements on modern medical science, the medical fraternity, and ayurveda. Anjana Om Kashyap missed out on some tough questioning, and chaos was catalysed to derail the discourse. Meanwhile, Ramdev continues to promote his Coronil and other Patanjali products as if news channels are teleshopping channels.
We also look at Ramdev's daily show on India TV. Some TV newsance comes in from News18 India's Bangla counterpart as well. Watch!
