TV Talk shows or Village Cock Fights

Today every news channel is broadcasting talk shows. In Islamic Republic of Pakistan there are numerous controversial issues on which opposite parties are called for talk. The host is a quite sharp and ill-minded usually in these talk shows. The selection criterion of the host is of experience, knowledge and skill to hyper the guests. In every talk show nowadays an open fight based debate starts and the host fuels it up regularly during the whole time.

He points out such incidents and acts of one party and ask the opinion of other party and later he changes his position of attack and joins the attacked party. Sooner the talk show becomes a field of battle. Then after getting benefit of today's rotten ministers, high profile people and celebrities anger and some filthy comments, the video of specific quote is repeated multiple times on different events.

This is done to create a massive panic and anger between parties and then the situation of such talk show is propagated through media everywhere. People discuss the comments said by those famous people or about the hot issue. Thus it becomes hot favorite issue of the time. Usually the host grips the situation and attacks both parties taking one's side and then changes his point of view. This whole scenario make the guests out of control and in anger they utter such quotes and statements that it becomes difficult for them to handle for the next session. This is what the media is selling through these talk shows. The hosts are highly paid for their evil doing. No doubt they raise a genuine issue but the outcome is zero becuase the reason for such talk shows is to pull out the anger within a famous personality and then it is sold by propagating all over.

Interrupting one while he is giving his point of view is very very common. They they say "sorry for interruption" and usually it has been watched every time that at a time two or more people are talking loudly or even shouting to the extent that one can't understand what everybody is talking about. This is our educated media and famous personalities. Where did they study, which families they belong to, what is their knowledge about their religion, who is their role model. This situation is pathetic.

The ministers and political structure is all illiterate and patience less and these talk shows take benefit of their shortcoming by propagating their anger shots again and again to earn huge amount of money and publicity. The most successful host is that who gets most filthy statements uttered by one of the parties. Thus the show is successful and the over all image of Islamic Republic of Pakistan is drowned in depths of filth.

One can easily judge the moral of such people who are at high positions and he can make himself sure about the standard of  normal citizens of Pakistan. These talk shows are blurring the good image of our nation. No doubt the corruption is on the boom in Pakistan because the political leadership is in hands of most corrupt people of the nation. Who only gather money and run away then ask forgiveness and give lame excuses.

The situation of current affairs and the impact of these talk shows remind me the scene of cocks fighting in a ground of a village with huge spectators. One of two people put them on fighting and everyone gets amused of it. No gentleman can say that this is a modest, educated and well mannered nation after watching such talk shows on TV.

We are also witness of humiliation of such famous faces by media as they are producing cartoons and fun making parodies of them. This is highly condemnable act of media. Usually the victims are politicians and even Prime Minister and President.

We have no dignity and respect for corrupt politicians and leaders but the designation of Prime Minister and President are the most supreme positions for any republic state. If they are not criticizing the the Prime Minister or the President but the men who are sitting on such positions then the media is becoming personal. And they have no right to attack a person personally. There are always many ways to point out when one gets disagree. On these positions we had good people as well in past and being optimistic the upcoming will be good and pious infact true leaders not the politicians. So we must give respect to these positions and point out only the evil deeds and corruption of such people by not humiliating them but only by pin pointing the particular issue.

Few talk shows are on air that shows the problems and mishaps of families. The divorce cases, affairs, property issues and other usual every home matters. They disclose the privacy of the victim families, host take side of one party usually the one who brought the other party in show and then attacks the other. I have watched Machis on Hum Tv and one more talk show in which the set is designed as court and the case is presented infront of the host as so called judge. These are highly humiliating and worst..... continued
