The news every night is not just about the channels and the various anchors. It’s also about the guests on the various shows. There are some who make for great news television, but there are many who are outrageous and an apology in comparison to some top-grade leaders of their political parties.

In fact every time I see a nutty neta on telly, I recall the Havells wire ad where the kid asks the father: koi aur cartoon dekhein? The politician in that commercial was of course making a speech, and not part of a TV discussion.
