Every Channel Feels Like a Thriller Now!
Remember when news meant facts?
“Today’s weather,” “Today’s budget,” “Today’s sports score.”
Now it’s more like:
🌪️ “Sansani! Desh ka dushman kaun?”
🎭 “Breaking: Bollywood star sneezed—Twitter reacts!”
🎬 It’s like watching a daily soap with tickers.
So, what happened?
Simple: News didn’t stay news. It became… entertainment with a TRP twist.

🎤 What “Lite Propaganda” Looks Like Today
No, it’s not big scary politics. It’s subtle, funny, and sometimes totally bizarre.
Here’s what you might see:
🎯 1. Overdramatic Headlines
> “You won’t believe what this leader just said!”
“Shocking! Paneer prices linked to global war?”
It’s like news channels are now part-time influencers.

🕵️♂️ 2. Investigating the Unnecessary
Instead of asking tough questions like:
“What’s the job market update?”
“Are hospitals prepared?”
They go:
“Why was that actor seen with that actress at 2 AM?”
“Is this viral video real or fake? Let’s spend 30 minutes analyzing it.”

🎭 3. The “Debate” Format
Where 6 people scream together while the anchor yells louder than all:
> “Aap chup rahiye! Aapko bolne ka moka milega!”
Then never gives the moka.
In the end: No one wins. No one learns. But the TRP wins.

🍿 4. Everything Is a ‘Breaking News’
Even this could be on screen:
> “BREAKING: Rainfall in Mumbai! Umbrella sales rise!”
Yes, thank you. Truly life-changing.

✅ Why It Works (And Why It’s Funny)
Works Because… But Also…
It’s dramatic and emotional Often skips real issues
Keeps you watching like a series Can confuse opinion with facts
Funny memes come out of it But facts get lost in shouting
Gives people something to talk about But not something that helps them
Final Thoughts
We’re not saying news shouldn’t be entertaining.
But when it turns into a daily drama show with dramatic zoom-ins and “dhummm ta na naaa” sound effects, we need to pause and say:
> “Bro, is this news or Naatak?”
