These days one often sees boring TV debates wherein the anchor has no control over the participants who talk across each other gesticulating violently with their hands without their listeners understanding a single word. The anchorperson cannot stop them from bickering and he only takes refuge by announcing a break in the debate. Such discussions are of no use to the viewers who are disgusted with the sordid behaviour of debaters like they are going to tear apart the contending party representatives.
They often use derogatory phrases like illiterate, uneducated etc for the debaters sitting in front of them without even bothering to address the anchor who keeps on smiling at the speakers fighting verbally like game cocks. The participants often include diehard MNAs of various political parties who do not see eye to eye with the opposing members. As such it is simply disgusting to observe such debates and is simply a waste of time and a sort of punishment for the viewers that ought to be avoided by TV channel owners.
