Unbridled on TV

IN Media Watch Briefs | 27/09/2016

India’s TV reporters and anchors are in a class by themselves.  The India Today TV reporter was telling the studio anchor on Monday night that if Nawaz Sharif had listened to Sushma Swaraj’s speech he would have learned how to speak at a forum like the UN. And Zaka Jacob on CNN News 18 asked his panel if Swaraj had rebutted Nawaz Sharif’s  “absurd” and “ridiculous” assertions. A couple of days earlier he was heard referring to the defence minister’s admission of a security lapse as a “faux pas”.
