Recently in a live debate on private news channel, the participants started fighting with each other. They put allegations on each other and started fighting. Nearly all live T.V. debates go like this and end with no conclusion. During the show all participants looks like barking dogs which are shouting without reason. Will this type of show are beneficial to us in anyway? The only topics in these debates are related either to politics or religion. Are all other issues in India got solved? Why these channels focus on other issues?
Beneficial or not, but what it shows clearly how our TV channels are benefited by boosting their viewer ratings. They know what the people want. TV debates are mostly a big farce
These TV channels choose only those topics which are more sensational and have more controversies. These leave all other important issues, like education, technology, poverty, situation of farmers and other important issues and start controversial issues and the participants shout on each other without listening the others.
TV channels cannot get benefits if they broadcast programs like education. That's why they choose controversial issues. Why not people are also interested in such shows.
I think these news shops (private T.V. channels) show only those controversial shows which are highly demanded in the market (by viewers). Other important issues kept aside and these baseless debates goes on without any conclusion.
As I said in my previous post, TV channels mostly show what people are fond of. If these channels broadcast useful issues like education, health etc, nobody will see . Channels are business oriented. For this reason, they will not hesitate to do anything.
My honest opinion.. I hate it, they are too loud and badly behaved to be on national television. However, its seems viewers like loud, argumentative people. They are they everywhere, in the parliament, on TV, on the streets, at the work place, on forum discussions practically everywhere.
Sometimes it doesn't feel like news hour anymore , but like a circus.
That's the Point. TV channels are giving what the people want. Nothing more. Nothing less. Hence choice is yours. If you don't like switch off. I do the same whenever such Debates are aired.
Thanks for the suggestion, I do just that even without it. Our news channels must be like a circus to the world around too. No one can shut off opinions.
If we cannot change a situation which is not in our control, better for us to join the circus. No one can shut off opinions. they express theirs and we ours.
Basically, they shout for no reason. The worst part is nobody is ready to listen to another person's point of view, as if they are the ultimate one. Sometimes subjects of the debate are good but the discussion remains inconclusive because the spokespersons are not ready to leave one inch of their ground and accept the reality. No one is interested in introspection about what went wrong but believes in passing the buck on others.
