Have you lately been able to watch a private news channel for more than 15 minutes?
I cannot bare watching news from private broadcasters for more than 5 minutes. I literally go into shock. Mundane things are blown out of proportion. There are so many things to look out for in such a broadcast. The news reader blurting out the news with exaggerated expressions at the speed of the Rajdhani, the scrolling breaking news, and news flashes, the mind-numbing background music and the to top it all the manner of presentation with gaudy and explosive multimedia.
Offff.... That's too much to look for in any news. We watch news to keep abreast of the current affairs and events and remain informed. We don't want to be bombarded and led to conclusions about everything. As if we don't have enough troubles and worries of our own. The least we need is the uncalled for sensation in everything. Be it an eve-teasing incident or a power failure. Everything is so explicitly presented and repetitive as if to goad us into falling off the roof. If viewership is the deal they are nowhere near hitting the mark. The sensation repulses us more than attracting us.
Aajtak, ABP, Zee are you hearing???
