TV Newsance 218: BeerBiceps and Godi Media’s similar treatment of Modi govt

This week, Abhinandan brings you the worst of the worst of TV news, but with a tinge of nostalgia and juxtaposition. 

We revisited Arnab, who once questioned the central government over the rising tomato prices – in a not very highfalutin debate. If that sounded strange, as parts of India flooded due to excessive rain, an ABP reporter plunged into neck-deep waters at a Delhi underpass to report the crisis. 

We also looked at the Modi-government ministers’ interviews with influencers, mainly Ranveer Allahbadia aka BeerBiceps. The not-so-very hard-hitting questions asked by the influencer to these ministers reminded us of interviews taken by our beloved prime-time anchors of their beloved dear leader. 

Godi media, meanwhile, covered the France protests and Bengal violence, asking questions to the Mamata government, after having ignored the continued ethnic strife in Manipur for a month. In addition, we also found out about the amazing mind-reading abilities of a Times Now reporter. 

For all this and more, watch.
