:D have u seen India TV lately… GOSH what crap they show… worse than what you have mentioned ( i mean they just don’t repeat the stuff, but talk about real crap!!)
I wish there was some censor board for news channels too!!
@sakhi: India TV was always a crap, not lately. Tantrik baba and all sort of stupid news could be seen there. :)
And channels not only repeat a lot, they will helpfully point out most obvious thing in the screen/news. To be fair to them, sometimes they also helpfully red-circle the most obscure thing on the screen. Its another story red circle really doesnt help at those times.
There are a few ,ore lines which are added like “no one has claimed responsibility” “LeT suspected” “opposition leader blames govt” “Exclusively on this channel” “You are a relative of one of the people who was massacred? So how do you feel” etc etc.. they need to get script writers to add some masala =D Not India TV kinda masala
If a channel does not put a thick red circle around the object under discussion, I cant locate it. Even if it’s filling up the whole of tv screen. Like here, the terrorists are not circled by a thick red border. I cant see them. Where are they? Who are they? And most importantly, HOW MANY were there?

I so agree…and when they have nothing to report 24 hours, they resort to reports of a cow/buffalo blocking traffic on the roads!
