  1. Rating, viewership encourages Media perosnnel to broadcast more extreme scenes stories etc. Not only media we are the poeple who watch these bulshits if we will not watch the ratings will go down to the drain and they will not broadcast these sort programs, do not blaim only media and condemnation is not a solution educate viewers we are the dead nation totally illeterate even after earning degrees, senseless, feelingless we can not forsee the results of things happening around we just enjoy enjoy and enjoy. Money speaks Media personnel are earning heavily why they will think about any reaction of program we are paying them by watching, leave watching and the programs will automaticly be stopped. Now decision is ours whether we let them play with our minds or tell them that we are alive and wise nation do not try to play with us. Think and Educate others Take Care
