Star News’ obsession was a 7 foot 3 inch 420 pound gentleman who goes by the name of Great Khali, or ‘Chemical Khali’. No, he’s not an Iraqi weapon of mass destruction but an Indian WWE wrestler who bounded into the ring and threw everyone else out. Until they came at him with the Undertaker, cupboards and tables, knocked him to the floor so bad, he’s seriously injured. Every evening, last week, Star News ran footage of his exploits and then brought us prime time breaking news that the reason for the great fall from his tremendous height was that he possessed weak legs. Visual of his legs that looked as sturdy as the rock of Gibraltar. Is this Star News of Star Movies?

Zee News, meanwhile, is obsessed with the Ramayana. This obsession has taken it to Sri Lanka and now Bali in Indonesia, where its reporter found a ‘one thousand year old moorthi’ with the help of, now wait for this, monkeys. What do you say, Andrew Symonds?
