Poser for India Today TV. What about the other anchors?

Rajdeep Sardesai

On Thursday, confronted with claims of misreporting on the tractor rally, India Today put its foot down and removed Rajdeep Sardesai, the channel's consulting editor, from air for two weeks, writes Ayush Tiwar on Newlandry.

'The seasoned anchor, who faced hostility from the protesting farmers on the day of the rally, will also not be paid for the month,' he says, and adds,

'The news channel must be applauded for holding the journalist accountable for his clumsy work. (Even though an apology across mediums would have done the job.)'

Echoing the views of many, Tiwari writes, 'But this new gold standard of journalism must now apply to the other prima donnas in the network's studios whose records in the realm of reporting are far worse than Sardesai on a bad day,' and to help India Today along, even suggests their names.

'Here are the top four,' Tiwari writes here.
