Can’t compete

When IPL makes news even the killing of 120 people in North India in a storm becomes  marginalized on the 9 o clock news.  Ironically while the BBC made it one of its main news stories on The Hub on the 14th night,  what hogged airtime on Indian English news channels was the spat between Modi and Shashi Tharoor. Even on the websites of the news channels it was somewhere  at the end, on ndtv.com for instance.
