As usual when theres nothing good to watch on television, i'm surfing through all of the channels one after the other. Whats pathetic to watch is some news channel or the other has some breaking news or the other. I donno whether the news channels themselves plant the news or they juss hang around somewhere the whole time to get the coverage first.
Furthermore when there's a huge event going on, all the news channels are flashing the same news over and over again for hours, even after the event. Let me give you an example -
take the Abhishek - Aishwarya wedding a month or so back. All the news channels were constantly focused on their homes & outside the place of the wedding. These channels had their scroll bars flashing "Breaking News" like "Abhishek has just left his place", "Abhishek has arrived at the mandap". What was even more frustrating is to watch each n every news channel do this.
I was surprised that DD NEWS was the only channel which wasnt broadcasting this. DD NEWS was broadcasting a sports programmed awaiting the list of the Indian team for the bangladesh series held a fmonth back". I remember that the declaration of the team news was delayed & i dont see any other reason than that the selectors themselves were watching the "Abhi - Ash" fiasco on their television."
Another thing that i hated the most was watching "Sunita Williams" coming back on earth.
News channels had headlines like "Ghar aao Sunita" (come back home Sunita) and other wierd ones. They even had countdown clocks ticking on till the time of landing. What was amusing for me was tht the landing was delayed each time & they had to reset their countdown timers to the new timings. Now that was funny". By the time the space shuttle landed, the whole excitement had died down.
One more thing i have noticed about these news channels is the viewers opinion via SMS's. Whatever happens, each of the news channel wants the viewers to send in their opinions or greetings via smses. And then there viewers dumb enough to believe that "someone" to whom these opinions are pointed out is actually gonna read them. Wake up people u are just wasting your money in those stupid smses. Only the news channels are gaining "financially" from them. You turn out to be the "loser". Dumb enough to do what they want you to do.
All in all, to conclude these news channels are commercializing the art of free press for their own profits !!!
