Dear fellow Bharatiya,
Most of you have expressed your sincere disappointments towards leading medias in India. Like every one else I also join the choir. However, if you observe closely this is the case almost everywhere including USA from where good & bad every things get exported.
President Obama's policies and even his mindsets have been questioned by several leading medias in USA since four years, two years after Obama occupying the white house. I have never observed such level of discontent about a sitting American president since I migrated here in 1983.
I also join your choir for slightly different reason. The media people in India does not know how to balance their commentary sticking with the truth what ever it is rather how to sell the news based upon the media's mughal's remote control and to please them.
Respectfully,
Dr. Kumar Arun

I agree entirely with the views expressed. There is no gainsaying that the TV anchors assume that they are a law unto themselves and they do not care in the least about the time we waste listening to their dogfights. As one viewer suggested the only way is to cut off the arrogant and irresponsible shouters and allow the conduct of the debates in a civilised way. I often wonder whether these gentlemen ever watch any of the programmes conducted by the BBC or CNN! Maybe they don't worry about their TRP ratings!

I fully agree with the observations regarding the news channel debates.Atleast one of the drawbacks mentioned can be set aside immediately by controlling the volumes of the speakers so that only one person only is allowed to be heard clearly while others can be heard with much reduced volume. This option may be controlled by the anchor on the basis of the time allotted to each speaker.It will be upto the speaker if he wishes to utilise the allotted time meaningfully towards the basic issue or waste the time aimlessly towards unwanted shouting.Public is not receptive to high db bickering.

I fully agree with you. The purpose of these debate is something else and not the critical examination of the subject matter.The anchor want the reply according to the policy of the channel owners and spread the same among the public to mold their thinking.

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
