We are in a situation whether we take it or leave it. Individually we feel helpless as we have become so much used to the print and video/audio news . unfortunately there is no strong civil society institutions to take on the media for the rubbish they dish out. You see a boy being maulted by a tiger and no one questions what the the photographer doing merrily clicking rather than raise a hue and cry. You have instances of two famous anchors being a part of infamous radia tapes. After an initial hue and cry they were quite rehabilitated. Media can give you full details on financials of any corporate entity. But do you find similar details for any newspaper or TV chanel?
Have fun and enjoy the show. Between media and govt. The policy is you scratch my back and I scratch yours.

These channels are all owned with sweeping stakes by global media moguls and yet all we get to see is "bizarre showdown" and "high decibel sensationalized cacophony" that is in stark contrast with the three news channels, named by you, where even the most "heart breaking" news and debates are presented with elan and poise that the situation deserves, considering the global ramifications.

Inclusion of the same set of people ,particularly from the political arena,who have no track record of any worthwhile achievements or path breaking vision but are mere spokesman on lease, is sheer wastage of air time.They only fan negativity and display lesser standards of public debate and elocution than in an average level High School . In particular the congress spokesman , bereft of any ideas and and being defensive from the word go , perform in a pathetic manner. Surely there is no dearth of eminent scholars and performers whose every word will educate and inspire us and spread message of hope.

>>>>>>> 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.
