TV Newsance 301: The 4th largest economy, Bharat, wins yet again!

This week, Abhinandan Sekhri, standing in for host Manisha Pande, looks at the tough questions asked by our mainstream media. Republic TV did ask tough questions this week. Not of leaders like Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh who was acquitted in a POCSO case, but of an irrelevant actor like Dino Morea. As Arnab was busy showing his reporters who were questioning Dino Morea, an anchor on his channel making a racist gesture flew completely under the radar. 

As India surpassed Japan to become the 4th largest economy this week, we examine how in New India, the media has become an uncritical cheerleader; only peddling the government’s perspective. We question the media, which exists to amplify the common man's voice, and its coverage of this issue. We also question if the common person benefits from all this.
