Intrepid reporting
On a Sahara news show a woman was reporting from Bundelkhand. She wanted to show that people have been eating grass to stave off death and hunger, so she focused her camera on a woman who had been eating grass. The woman was clearly uncomfortable, but our reporter has been told --poverty sells. "Aap kya kha rahi hai" she asked. The woman murmured something. Determined to get her to say on national TV that she was eating grass, the reporter persisted. Then she interjected, "but this is what cows eat!" As if being hungry is not humiliating enough, people have to confess on camera that they have been eating what animals eat!
