Political spoofs - the latest trend among Indian news channels

[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

Political spoofs - as short vignettes - seem to be the latest trend among
Indian news channels. As part of their never-ending endeavour to attract
viewers, many channels like Aaj Tak and NDTV are exploring the quirkier side
of people in the news. The trend is a 10-minute comic filler which portrays
a political leader in a tight spot or just an ironic situation. It could be
called the equivalent of an editorial or pocket cartoon in a newspaper.
