Bathtub journalism?

Sridevi's death by drowning triggered TV hysteria that was both bizarre and tasteless. This Boomlive.in story shows  the number of channels that did what it calls 'bathtub journalism', with anchors holding forth in a bathroom with speculative props such as a glass of wine (ABP News). Telugu channel Mahaa News took the cake, it had a reporter in a dry bathtub with a mike, trying to demonstrate what could have gone wrong.
