At a press conference while demanding the JPC, Pawan Khera referred to PM Modi as ‘Gautamdas’. This sparked a furore across mainstream TV news debates and anchors took it upon themselves to avenge the insult to PM Modi.

Aman Chopra took recourse in ‘research’ or ‘brain mapping’ of the Congress, while the Times Now Navbharat anchor took to scribbling on his blackboard again. In all of this, the important and disturbing news of the twin murders of Nasir and Junaid took a backseat.

Bonus: Arnab tells you to pay to keep news free, but that’s a full subject for the next episode.
