It's #NLprimetime time!

On ABP News, lots of dramatic music, tonnes of "representative images" and a very poetic report on how Indian Navy is getting ready to defeat the Dragon on the sea.

ABP is explaining why TikTok is so popular in India and why China "bhannaya hua hai" (angry af).

Meanwhile, the graphics showed this... 😅

#NLprimetime

Now back to China. This report is about how China is training soldiers in Chengdu.

Lots of muscly Chinese being shown gyming away like crazy.

Arnab is getting ready to pick up random tweets and bash the Congress again.

Yay?

#nlprimetime

Republic Bharat is showing Arnab dramatically whooping in the air. Ticker reads: "Big win for Republic network."

#NLprimetime

Republic Bharat is now praising America's F-35 and saying "China will see this and faint".

Announcer is saying again and again, "There is an increased possibility that we are getting this" for the last 5 minutes.

Very confused. Are we praising USA or India?
#NLprimetime

Super confused. This is like an advertisement for F-35. Anchor keeps saying, "Think about it! What if India gets this. Then China will be soooo scared."

OK then.

Ticker reads: "Showers 3000 bombs in one minute."

#NLprimetime

After 10 minutes of praising the plane and saying how China is soooo scared, anchor says one line in the end: "A bill has been presented in the US senate which *might* let us buy this amazing plane."

That was the story. That.
