Reality TV*


Since the reality tv entered our lives, TV addiction and isolation from life started. The worst drawback of this process is, brain-washing. While we’re focusing on watching reality shows, we can not follow the important daily news and we forget the crucial problems about our country. In my opinion, it can be one of the politicians’ politics because they do not want to rise people’s awareness about politics so they canalize the media according to their profits. The reality tv is the best way to anasthasize the society so it is like an opium. The more you become anasthasized, the less you realise the truth.


I recommend you to watch this video:

  1. An interesting post, Nil! Do you also think there might be a certain amount of brainwashing on the evening news programmes?

    (btw, 'canalize' isn't a word in English - perhaps you mean 'channel'?)

    Keep up the good work.

  2. Of course! The news are published according to politicians' truth. Tv news are also biased.


    (Yes I wanted to say channel canalize is Turkish sorry:D)
