Sakal Times and Times Now send legal notices to Newslaundry | TV Newsance Episode 114

This week, we provide a point-by-point rebuttal of the legal notices sent to Newslaundry by #SakalTimes, which is owned by the Pawar family, and #TimesNow, run by the Jain family. In the process, we imagine what the scenes might have been like in the offices of their lawyers when these notices were drafted.

We explain why #TVnews in India today is little more than reality television, and why we think “karare chane seller” is an apt description for Times Now editor Rahul Shivshankar.

Also this week, we see union minister Piyush Goyal go speechless when he is called out for his lies by a very unlikely questioner – Navika Kumar of Times Now. And we cringe as Rohit Sardana of Aaj Tak switches to his default mode – spewing bigotry.
