News Channels in North East India, a headache.

There are around 4-5 Private News channels in north east who instead of delivering NEWS, deliver their views on almost all issue of society. They prefer to judge news as a case, create some stupid debate over it by paying and inviting eminent personality of North East. These eminent personalities can’t even turn down the invitation fearing public defamation of them in the same channel which invited them. Yes, such is the position of a news channel in north east.

Some common stupidity of these news channels include playing a background music of a bollywood movie in the so called news item, publicly supporting a particular political party, avoiding to air news which include allegations and wrong doing of a particular political party, introducing debate where the anchor speaks like a parrot. I even feel that most of the host/anchor tries to copy the style and accent of some of the renowned anchor/host of prominent NEWS channel in national and international platform.

Not only that, the worst scenario is when the anchor or the editor of the news channel interrupts a renowned personality saying, ‘I think your statement has no point since. . .’, or, ‘We are running out of time, kindly make it short’ 

My question is, what does the anchor, or editor of the news channel think of themselves compared to the eminent personality sitting adjacent or front of them. The way this anchor/host speaks, as if their no one a greater then him/her.

These News Channels even play blame game, when they no it’s not their job. They fail to understand that their main purpose is to deliver NEWS and nothing else. Debate can be created but not the way they do.

I feel pity for the entire aspiring journalist because more than half of them will be joining a private news channel and their purpose of journalism stops right there even if they earn their living.

Also, not to forget, these private news channel disclose their rivalry between them (between one news channel and the other) by creating a defamation news against their rival channel, isn’t it shit .
