सबसे बड़ा झूठ है कि चैनलों में डिबेट ऐंकर ज़्यादा काम करता है। उसके जितना कम काम पूरे चैनल में कोई नहीं करता। वह चाहे तो एक ही कपड़े में साल भर ऐंकरिंग कर सकता है, कपड़े से पसीने की बू तक नहीं आएगी। कम लागत, कम काम के लिए ही है डिबेट शो। बस चार फ़ालतू लोग शहर में होने चाहिएँ। pic.twitter.com/GJ68xTfh61
