You should watch: Karan Thapar’s interview with political strategist Prashant Kishor in The Wire—which turns more confrontational as it goes on—ending on an ugly note. It ends up raising questions about the dubious art of political punditry—with Kishor refusing to take responsibility for his failed predictions. FYI: He predicts the BJP will at least make their previous 303 total—maybe even more. 

Why it’s worth your time: Love him or hate him, Kishor is always compelling to watch—and provocative in pronouncement. But he seems to have met his match in Thapar who holds him to account—far more so than other news show hosts. All of which culminates into the dramatic blowout right at the end. And it’s worth the wait:). 

Bonus pick: The Quint looks at the unprecedented rise of alternative media on YouTube in these elections—and the struggles they have been facing while trying to practise independent journalism.
