I thought 24-hour news channels were bad in the US in declaring news as breaking. It's even worse here. One reason may be the absurb number of 24-hour news channels. There are at least 10 channels in Delhi, if you count both Hindi and English channels, and the struggle to find stories to fill the airtime.
A few weeks ago, we saw a feature of "possessed piano" complete with haunted house sounds, which was just a self-playing piano, the type we often see in malls in the US. But a news channel turned it into a 20 minute story that was repeated throughout the apparently slow Sunday afternoon.
In any case, an aging actor catching a cold is not newsworthy. Not at all.
