This week, we review the Indian TV news media’s obsession with the #Taliban and #Afghanistan. From casually broadcasting fake news to an absurdist indulgence in Bollywood and pop culture references. Inspired by the sheer ludicrousness of it all, we take it up a notch!
In all of this, some very important news got missed this week.
And in other news, we discover that #ArnabGoswami has authored a book. TV Newsance team is ever so grateful to none other than the author himself for introducing us to its existence by plugging a two-decade-old, probably out-of-print book on #Republic primetime this week. We go on a city hunt to find this gem. But do we get it?
Watch.
