On 10th November 2008 at late night most of Indian news channels were airing the news about the Goa case Goa Minister's son gets bail
On which a popular news channel had called Remo to express his views about the case.
Remo on that program expressed that there is nothing to be surprised as almost all the politicians are of same character and put a word about the media generally,
The news channels reporting the news are mostly after the news mostly creating panic and in the motive of increasing the TRP ratings, and not real news.
Though he didn't use those words, he meant that, and I 100% agree with him and his suggestion was investigative journalism, which is any way far better than the strategy the news channels follow now. Remo's intention was good that when the channels take the investigative route the politicians will fear to do it in public and go in to the hiding because the public image is their strength and they wont like to get their wrongs aired with witness and proof.
But the anchor didn't agree and started asking stupid questions at last Remo had to quit in the middle. Then when i digged the web most bloggers had the same opinion about the news channels.
Timesnow >> link has some breaking news headings of this channel.
Kalam too once told how the news channel to behave, he even explained an incident that happened in Israel but none have learnt a lesson. Now the question is who is going to bell the cat.
Most News channels have a session for debate and they take sensitive topics and mostly try to prove there English skills and stupid thinking (except a few programs) instead of finding a solution or an expert to explain about problem and solution. They interfere in the middle and show the reason of lack of time and mostly these kind of debates create a bitter experience for the participants as well as the viewers like us. The government should put some regulator to regulate the channels and their content.
A few programmes that I find good
The citizen Journalist in CNN
The program about India's moon mission in various channels,
Some programmes regarding the environment.
PS: I am not against any television channel but the way they present the programmes there's lot ahead to improve
