Says it all. Brilliant. And they can do this all day.
Unbelievable capacity to create breaking news every single day.
Great article sir
may be they can start breaking bread (with the news) - may add marketing /product placement opp that way?
What bread are you breaking? Well lets ask our expert Mr. Pavwalla - yes that is a flat bread which is initially a round ball rolled to become flat and then grilled. Its breaking under duress comes easy when dipped in ghee.
Thanks, Hari, Nikita, all we can do is break our heads, I guess.
DH, I am for breaking the anchors' bones. But then we will just have 'boneless' and spineless news.
