Evening news watching is increasingly becoming distasteful. Channels unleash arrogant , politically biased, pseudo-journalists as anchors on the viewers , not delivering news but sermonizing distinct political agenda behind , not difficult to make out. It had been most uncomfortable watching recently a Hindi news channel , I happen to tune in which prides in claiming itself the most watched and 'fastest', using language knitted with evidently politically biased commentary in chaste Urdu ( deliberate?) for Pak PM who was on a private visit. I felt ashamed that a personal visit to a religious place was being misused to seek political mileage.
The gross indiscipline prevalent in many private news channels misusing available freedom of expression may one day prompt someone who gains enough despotic power to put curbs on this very right ( and sifting the probable self proclaimed candidates for future rulers, it does seem possible !!). The loss will be for the people . These acts are not that of responsible pillars of democracy and it's time some rational sense prevails.These are not our tradition. People will see through it .
Fortunately on my satellite News menu starts with DDNews. And lately I have been finding less and less reasons to jump ahead.
