Who are you to judge us?

It's 9:00 pm. Time to catch the daily dose of a shrill debate on a news channel.

C’mon aren’t you getting bored of watching a debate, which is self manufactured controversy and manipulated by voices and clans without any democratic credentials and public accountability.

Who are the TV anchors? Are they judges of the Supreme Court? Are they liable for their unwanted judgments?

Electronic media in India needs to learn from their worldwide counterparts. Most of the daily debates on TV channel are undiluted waste of time.

Does something come out of these debates when panelist gets not more than two minutes to speak?

TV channels are just fanning the sentiments of viewers by generating unnecessary controversies on prime time. Controversies have become the breadwinners for these self-acclaimed anchors, who distract the citizens from main agenda and feed viewers with Television’s Real Poison (TRP).

Most severe threat to our society is not from illiterates, but from `learned intellectuals' of our society whom we see on our Idiot box with unflinching regularity. Electronic media has become a virus that wants to destroy our social fabric.

With intellectual debate cornered and eschewed into the labyrinth of ignorance, can India plunge into progressive society, demonstrating free spirit, or remain the nation of petty politics?

Anchors and the team, hello, you need to work on your plans.

Wake up, and smell the coffee.
