In this episode, Piyush and Isha deliberate on the current status of Indian media. Falling to and situating itself on the 142nd position on the Press Freedom Index this year, TRP-driven Indian media is now walking in the footsteps of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister, by blatantly colouring issues with communalism, spreading lies and infusing propaganda. With the media coining damaging terminologies like the 'tukde-tukde gang' and anti-nationals and treating 'secularism' - a fundamental tenet of our Constitution - as an obscene term, the polarisation of Indian households appears complete. They observe how propaganda machinery functions at a psychological level. In the end, they note the steps to combat this collapse.
