I know that many of you are intrigued, perhaps bewildered, by my request in the title of this review - but I mean it. The Newshour programme violates every aspect of etiquette, politeness, social grace and decorum. This programme is anchored by Mr. Arnab Goswami who knows absolutely nothing about manners, the avoidance of interruption whilst someone else is speaking, the basic courtesy of maintaining a polite tone of voice and the need to speak in a normal voice as opposed to raucous screaming. And all these can set very bad examples for impressionable children.
You really don't want your children to get the feeling that such obnoxious behaviour is actually acceptable, do you? Yes, I am aware that many people do watch the Newshour - and they do so for the same voyeuristic reasons that lead people to watch the Jerry Springer Show, Big Brother(Bigg Boss in India) and other such low-grade rabble-rousing television shows. But should they be exposing their children to it? I should think not.
Let's face it. Arnab Goswami is not going to change - at least not till his TRPs change and start heading in a rapidly downward direction. But you can change. Don't watch this pretentious nonsense - and if you must, do keep the children away from the Newshour.
