An Indian news anchor has inspired jokes and memes after yelling at the wrong guest while debating the Ukraine crisis. Rahul Shivshankar berated a Ukrainian journalist for almost two minutes, thinking he was addressing Daniel McAdams, a US foreign policy commentator. He only realised his mistake when McAdams - the other guest - spoke up. The exchange went viral, making "McAdams" a top Twitter trend in India. Indian viewers are used to news anchors shouting down their panellists and going on rants during their shows. Many of these anchors, including Shivshankar, the editor-in-chief of English news channel Times Now, are accused of being biased toward India"s governing party, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In this instance, Shivshankar was speaking on his show India Upfront to McAdams, executive director of the Ron Paul Institute, and Bohdan Nahaylo, chief editor of Kyiv Post. But the names and titles of the two men were wrongly placed on air, so Nahaylo was identified as McAdams and vice versa. The viral clip began with Shivshankar asking "Daniel McAdams" to "just take a bit of a chill pill". Nahaylo then responds that he doesn"t want to relax as his country is at war. Shivshankar proceeds to ask " McAdams" to "get off the fence" and send US troops to Ukraine if he is so concerned about the country. He goes on to rant about "colonial agendas" and the Afghanistan war, interspersing " McAdams" into every other sentence. The real McAdams, in the meantime, is seen trying to make himself heard above the cacophony. "I"m not talking!" he finally manages to burst out. "It"s the other guy who"s talking!" But Shivshankar, who thought he was now talking to his Ukrainian guest, responded that " McAdams" had "gone completely ballistic" and should "go fight alongside Ukrainians if he felt so strongly about the war". "Dear host, I haven"t said a word yet. I don"t know why you"re yelling at me," the real McAdams persists. "I am not yelling at you, I am talking about McAdams," an oblivious Shivshankar responds. "I AM McAdams! I am McAdams and I haven"t said a word, so stop yelling at me!" says McAdams, generating a quiet "oh" from Shivshankar, who then apologises, saying he got confused. The clip led to a lot of amusement on social media, with many pointing out that it was the kind of moment that could only be produced by the cacophonous Indian TV media.
