Tale of an empty chair...

IN Media Watch Briefs | 27/04/2016

Rajdeep Sardesai on India Today did an Arnab Goswami on his News Today at Nine on April 26--placed an empty chair to show viewers that the Congress backed out from the "debate" on Augusta choppers. Minutes later he waved his cell phone implying a text message: Randeep Surjewala would come on for a phono, but the Congress hadn't  sent a spokesperson since it wasn't told of the subject. Another message seems to have landed up from the guy who didn't turn up: the channel had changed the topic. Sardesai confessed to Surjewala that it had. All on air.
