Shut off the studio guest

IN Media Watch Briefs | 12/02/2014
 TV anchors seem to come up with novel methods to silence guests they invite to their studio. On Headlines Today on Wednesday night Rahul Kanwal  started a slanging match with the AAP representative, Anjali Damania over the non-payment of electricity bills. And then what the producers did was most undemocratic, they simply shut off her microphone at one point while Kanwal went on screaming down the line at her. Isn't that unfair anchor advantage? Damania turned around at one stage  and retorted: "You have the channel to yourself as the anchor!"
