TV Talk Shows

May I request through your columns to be spared the mental agony caused to me and many others like me daily by all TV talk shows where the Plutos and Socrateses of politicians, their spokespersons (ladies and gents) and the whiz kid of political analysts who have nothing good for the masses to say but to justify their own corrupt practices and bad governance by indulging in the same stupid incessant rhetoric day after day. Agreed, these talk shows are doing a great service in exposing them hollow and shallow rendering them totally incompetent to be elected in future again, but even then the viewers who are fed up with their hypocritical faces would like to see something better instead – say, a play or a drama.
