As most of India's TV news channels compete to outdo one another in decibel levels, hate-mongering, and bigotry, we turned towards a famous poem by Roald Dahl.

It's called 'Television', and here is our adaptation of the poem, written and illustrated as an ode to India's hate-mongering TV news channels.

And here's how Roald Dahl's poem 'Television' began:

The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
