Senior TV anchor Sweta Singh is once again the subject of massive online trolling after a clip of her reportage from Pahalgam surfaced. In the viral video, Singh points to a hollow tree trunk and claims it could be a “natural hideout” for terrorists, suggesting two people could easily sit inside it.
Social media users reacted with sharp sarcasm. Comments like, “Sweta Singh once used to search for nano-chips in currency notes, now she is looking for terrorists inside trees.” Another joked, “After the grand success of nano-chip journalism, now comes tree journalism!” Yet another quipped, “That hideout is better used by Laila-Majnu, madam.”

Some even sarcastically praised her creativity, calling her the “second edition of Sherlock Holmes,” and congratulated her for discovering “natural camouflage” of terrorists before anyone else could even imagine it. Memes flooded social media, mocking how her journalism now seems more about wild imagination than grounded reporting.
This episode once again reflects the absurd heights sensationalist reporting can reach. In the race to create eye-catching headlines, basic logic and responsible journalism are often thrown out the window. Instead of factual coverage of serious security situations, we end up with bizarre, theatrical narratives that only damage credibility.

Serious journalism demands careful research and sincere reporting. But when imagination becomes the main tool, journalism risks turning into a circus performance. Today, audiences no longer watch for authentic news they watch to see what ridiculous “discovery” will go viral next.
Meanwhile, following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Centre issued an advisory urging media outlets to act responsibly while covering sensitive military operations, an advice that, clearly, remains more theoretical than practical.
