  Everybody everywhere every second seems to have something to report to 
you live and exclusive. Some are almost bursting out of every inch of 
that television set in front of you. Is news barking so loud it’s losing 
its bite? TV watcher George Kuriyan certainly thinks so. ‘‘Investigative 
news has gone. No one is willing to do a Tehelka anymore. Asianet, 
Surya, Raj, they dish out the same news. Now, instead of one channel, 
there are 10 channels rushing to get a politician’s sound byte. The 
whole thing begins to sound trite,’’ he says.
