It's so irritating. Hearing their voice makes me hit the back button on YT. All other foreign news channels - from Japan to Indonesia, China to Russia, France to UK, some Afrikan channels, all talk in nice non urgent tone.
Switch to Indian news - english or hindi and you have some news reporter shouting at the top of their lungs like the mic is kept 100ft away from them. Nasty. They sound like fish vendors shouting in a fish market.
F them. Scourge on eardrums.
Anyone still hearing such news channels and feel like punching them?

Gotta keep the plebs riled up.
 
Lol. Been complaining to my parents regarding the same for a long time. This started from around 2010 or so, and has been gradually progressing to reach the abominable stage that it is now. The sole fault is in the recruitment process of these news agencies, diction and pitch are pillars of it but obviously they only care about trp. When the number of death grows in a disaster just listen to the joy and excitement, and if there's no fatality the deep sadness.

I guess this is part of the Indian culture than some bhakts boast about. There's the news in our local DD channel (DD Bangla in our case) which is the only one still maintaining the decency.
 
Not just news channels, but the whole indian media industry is obsessed with it. look at the saas-bahu dramas or horror bollywood movie. script= total garbage, pathetic/irritating sound=100%.
Thanks to OTT/youtube, we can watch something else.
 
Stopped watching this garbage long ago.
Also most of it is never reporting actual news but manufactured debates and opinions.

Dont miss to watch this absolutely brilliant take on such things by Gaurav and Kettan in India's laughter champion.
Oscar Worthy.

 
Oh it's very simple,

In Indian culture, louder you are, rightful you are.

You can't get anything done here if you are soft spoken.
 
I might be wrong, but I believe this started with Arnab Goswami and his India wants to know rhetoric. The "debates" he used to conduct used to be just him shouting at 4 panelists.
