Exasperating farrago of distortions, misrepresentations&outright lies being broadcast by an unprincipled showman masquerading as a journalst

The  word farrago shot to fame because of this one tweet by our own Dr Shashi Tharoor. 

Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Former Under Secretary General - United Nations, currently Member of Parliament from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala and author of 19 bestselling works of fiction and non-fiction. More than all these things. Dr.Tharoor is well known for the use of lesser known words.  His vocabulary is phenomenal and has made us scramble for the dictionary (of course online) to know more about the words that he uses. His tweets are followed by many as much for his opinions as for the articulate manner on which they are expressed.
