India is drowning in record debt, unemployment, inflation, and a credibility crisis, but some tv anchors think their job is to laugh at America’s economy instead of questioning India’s rulers. Leading the circus is Anjana Om Kashyap, who spends her prime-time shouting matches on foreign issues while ignoring the fire in her own backyard.
1. Debt Mountain: ₹200 Lakh Crore & Counting
India’s public debt has touched astronomical levels — but instead of asking “Where is the money going?”, these journos distract viewers with foreign economies.
2. Unemployment: Highest in Decades
Youth are jobless, competitive exams are riddled with scams, and graduates are driving cabs — but prime-time anchors would rather debate about Joe Biden’s policy blunders.
3. Inflation: Budget-Breaking Reality
From onions to LPG, prices are burning holes in every pocket. But tv debates are still stuck on “foreign conspiracies” instead of questioning domestic looters.
4. ECI: zero Credibility, zero Questions
The election Commission’s neutrality is in tatters, but our journalists tiptoe around it, preferring safer topics like trump or Biden.
5. Petrol: Ethanol-Blended Scam
Blended fuel costs as much as pure petrol — yet anchors never ask why Gadkari’s “₹15 per litre” dream turned into a ₹102 nightmare.
6. The Distraction Playbook
When people demand answers about real issues, journos wave the “look, America is in trouble too!” card. It’s not reporting — it’s diversion.
👉 Instead of being watchdogs of democracy, they’ve become lapdogs of power. In the middle of India’s crises, our newsrooms have turned into a full-blown comedy circus.
