In a clip that is now going viral, a Bengali TV news reporter can be seen interviewing people affected by cyclone Yaas.
The reason it is being shared is that the interviewees are swimming in the water, while the interviewer is standing properly. As are some other people in the background.
Could it be done to get TRPs? The internet thinks so.
Ankle deep water for the reporter and yet people are drowning/ swimming. Is this the level our media has fallen to?! #media #YaasCyclone https://t.co/OsR0TYMPYf
