Ramnath Roenka Awards 2025 | The worst of Indian TV journalism ft. @thedeshbhakt

An awards night like no other, where Indian TV journalism is honoured for all the wrong reasons.

From fake war hysteria and prime-time propaganda to baba gyaan, communal dogwhistles, sudden political U-turns, and shouting matches disguised as debates – this episode revisits the loudest, most embarrassing moments of Indian TV news in 2025.

Hosted by Manisha Pande and Akash Banerjee (@thedeshbhakt), the Ramnath Roenka Awards recognise the best of the worst – the anchors, channels, and narratives that defined television news last year.

Expect sharp satire, uncomfortable clips, and a reminder of how far TV journalism has drifted from asking questions to manufacturing outrage.

Awards include:

➔ War Karwa Di Papa Award
➔ The Baba Blacksheep Award
➔ Thodi Maryada Rakhiye Award
…and many more.

If you’ve ever watched prime time and wondered “yeh news kaise hai?” – this episode is for you.

Watch till the end and tell us in the comments: which award was your favourite?
