PAIN OF LISTENING TO ENGLISH NEWS T V MEDIA ANCHORS
Obviously, the anchors in English news TV media who conduct the debates have no in depth knowledge or specialisation in any field. However, they seem to think that they can talk on any subject whether it is economics, politics, science and technology, crime investigation, culture, foreign policy, sports, and what not. It is not an exaggeration to say that their knowledge is half baked , which is there for all to see but these anchors do not seem to know.
They seem to have a set of people who are called to participate in debates and they seem to be available all the time at their beck and call. With many participants , most of whom are directly or indirectly involved in politics and not in any way better than the anchors in their analytical ability, the debate is marked by lung power rather than substance. The anchor often matches the participants in the lung power, showing no mercy for the viewers. Certainly, intelligent people with facts and figures, who want to observe decorum ,cannot have their say in full in these debates, which viewers may be eager to listen.Most of the viewers helplessly watch these debates and keep on changing from one channel to another, wondering whether one channel would be better than the other. This rarely happens.
Fortunately, only a fraction of Indian citizens understand English communication and amongst those who know English, only a small segment have the patience to watch entire debates but the anchors do not care. They seem to whimsically assume that the helpless viewers will watch anything and everything.Of course, the worst of the anchors in English news TV media are Arnab Goswami and Karan Thapar, who want to dominate the debate and assume that they know everything and exhibit streaks of arrogance and impoliteness. They put questions and when the participants respond, they cut them and put more questions and shout so much that no one can hear what the participants say. These anchors do not seem to realise that they are so uncivilised in their behaviour.With Indians putting up with several inconvenience in day today life, the pain of watching English TV debates is one more pain that they have to endure .N.S.VenkataramanNandini Voice For The Deprivedtwitter : @nsvchennai

Re: [IAC#RG] PAIN OF LISTENING TO ENGLISH NEWS T V MEDIA ANCHORS
Dear Mr. Venkataraman,
YES! How right you are ! But how have you missed mentioning Mr. Rajdeep Sardookhai -- er - I mean Sardesai ?
And what about idiots like Mr.Sohel Seth who at a sports Awards function recently, came on the stage and asked, " who is that bald fellow talking so much ?" (or words to that effect. He was referring to Mr.Viren Rasquina, the ex-captain of the Indian hockey team. Mr. Rasquina was so furious he had to be restrained from smacking Seth, who is an ignoramus whose views are sought on every subject under the sun on various TV channels.
I do not even want to go into the standard of English on the English language channels. Too pathetic for words! And all the chaps who write the subtitles seem to be badly challenged mentally.
Any way, I was happy to read your letter.
