(I created this blog sometime days back,after waiting to write something new and being unable to think of a new topic, i am post one of my previous article. )
“The content of this channel is ALMOST a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental and not intended. However few of the characters depicted in this story are real but the channel doesn’t……….”
With the news channel giving tough competition to Saas bahu soaps, it is high time that these channels start carrying a disclaimer like the one above.The content of Indian news channel I believe has become more or less a work of fiction. In the run for TRP they have lost their identity.
There have been a number of incidences which have been wrongfully branded as news by these channel. “The Arushi murder case”, which of course has been gold of content for News channel, is one among them. More than half their prime time inventory for months has been spent on it. Then there is the fantasy with the word ALIEN. One news channel claims to have spotted Aliens and another soon comes with an interview with this alien.(Poor NASA scientist.some1 let them know that the alien they have been looking for,from days has already been “CONTRACTED” by the super efficient news Channel).
A claim by Dhoni of the Asia cup schedule being too tight -Is good enough to start a discussion on “should Dhoni retire” or is it “time for the selectors to look for a new captain”. The party to the discussion-Two losers- one who wanted to be a journalist but has become fused host, another who claims of being better than any other cricketer in the world but chooses to b a cricket expert out of his own will.
Also not to forget we have the comedians who are making flashing news every other hour for the channel.
At 11 pm these channel become the place for cheap pleasure. Rape case and escorts being the prime content. The minutest unnecessary details of such case are furnished. And if need be (which always is) there is a stimulated video explaining the real situation (and of course in detail, after all the claim of providing complete news has to follow.)
The new gem is inflation. General content- A women claiming to be the worst hit of the governments so called inability to manage inflation. Why- coz the merc she was planning to buy is now a couple of thousands buck costlier.
I am frustrated and I have decided to teach them a lesson. The race is for T.R.P. and the best way to hurt their T.R.P. I have stopped watching such news channel .Nor do I let anyone watch it in my presence. Am happy that I reduced their T.R.P., even if it is by a billionth.
