This week, we review the Indian TV news media’s obsession with the #Taliban and #Afghanistan. From casually broadcasting fake news to an absurdist indulgence in Bollywood and pop culture references. Inspired by the sheer ludicrousness of it all, we take it up a notch! <br /><br />In all of this, some very important news got missed this week.<br /><br />And in other news, we discover that #ArnabGoswami has authored a book. TV Newsance team is ever so grateful to none other than the author himself for introducing us to its existence by plugging a two-decade-old, probably out-of-print book on #Republic primetime this week. We go on a city hunt to find this gem. But do we get it? <br /><br />Watch.<br /><br />***<br /><br />#TVNewsance is Newslaundry’s weekly media critique and political satire show.
