                                                                    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 .
