People mainly avoid news due to repetitiveness, a lack of trust and the sense of powerlessness it triggers, according to the Reuters Digital News Report 2022. But what could exemplify the broken record more than the apocalyptic world of Indian TV news?

This week, we look at the stalest tropes, from #SudhirChaudhary’s Pakistan bashing to TV9 Bharatvarsh’s doomful war coverage, and the Godse-loving Rizwan Ahmed as the almost omnipresent television panelist.

Also, a special peek into channels such as #AajTak and #ZeeNews using a familiar Delhi riots 2020 script to hail “#bulldozer raj”. Manisha also gives a 'My Take' on last week's Friday violence on protests against Nupur Sharma's remarks on the Prophet. She also looks at the vilification of Mohammad Javed whose house was bulldozed in Prayagraj. A repeat of coverage of Umar Khalid and Delhi riots.
