Nowadays, media has forgotten its limits. Instead of reporting things in a subtle way, journalists prefer sensationalizing the news and using harsh words. Sometimes, celebrities and sports persons ignore these reports, but at times, they can’t help but smash these media houses.
Something similar happened with Harbhajan Singh. He lashed out at Zee News for carrying a pathetic report about him and Virender Sehwag.
Yes, Zee News reported about Virendra Sehwag smashing 12 sixes against Harbhajan Singh, in spite of being unwell. The headline read, “When an unwell Virender Sehwag smashed 12 sixes against Harbhajan Singh in domestic match.”
Not only this, Zee News also quoted R Ashwin for giving this information. According to the reporter, R Ashwin had given them this information in a chat show. Have a look at this tweet of the news channel;
