I love the way TV channels keep breaking news – even when the news is a few days old! A huge ticker tape that keeps saying BREAKING NEWS does look impressive! Of course you realize at once that its being re – broken. Again and again. Recycling news?
And the same stock pics re-running for hours in the background – while the reporters desperately try to find something new and sensational to say about an event that is fast losing its sheen!
It cant be easy to be a 24 x 7 news channel. Look at the problems they face – news doesn’t happen that often – leaving these poor channels very often to create news, create controversies or blow up tiny events that were better off being ignored. Much ado about nothing Shakespeare would say!
Some times it’s like watching a soap opera – with all the trials and tribulations created by the media. Are they in the wrong profession then? Would they be better off producing TV serials? After all the TRP ratings are far higher for serials. And these poor news channels keep trying so hard to compete with them!!!
Lets not be too harsh on them while they bring us news live or dead – after all they’re just trying to keep up with the soaps!
Buzzing off now
