If I do not describe this as low political and professional behavior, then I would call it a very concerning attitude. At a time when citizens and civilian areas are being bombed, and when we are witnessing scenes of destruction, ruins, and bloodshed, it is interesting for an announcer to make poor, tasteless, and content-less remarks that only disturb the public mood.
What we see occasionally at night is not just seen as a media war, whether they realize it or not: it is a commercial advertisement for their parties, which have abandoned their important task at this historic moment. They want to market the idea that their parties are looking for a hideout from responsibility at this moment in a better, beatified way.
This pleasure and ability in this dark age, when citizens pay the price of war and are worried about bread, salaries and daily livelihoods and rising food prices in the uncontrolled market, reflects a deep political crisis, expressed by their hypocritical announcers with media noise, preoccupying their citizens with the question "Who is lying?" and "Who Betrays?" They are sending messages and expressing their desire to deepen the conflict, not the important question: what to do? If we are neutral in the real war, why are we fighting each other?
I am not saying that war erases political differences, no, but when the political and media discourse of the two ruling parties’ channels are devoid of dialogue political content for a unified national common ground, we must see them as a failure to answer questions and changes.
With threats from the air and the ground surrounding the Kurdistan Region, it is no coincidence that two channels are finding an opportunity for media warfare as an alternative to constructive political dialogue. Easier put: politicians cannot silence their conflicts, agree on common ground, so it is normal for them to return to their true desire, the goal for which they were established.
The wartime message of some channels mirrors the crisis that political power is going through, as a reflection of the depth of the two parties’ inability to build a genuine political strategy. Today, in this terrible age, two hypocritical announcers in the competitive market to increase likes, express it with political trivial speech, and no one laughs.
In short, these are not just media institutions, they are wartime for-profit companies that want to increase their share of the cheap market for likes. We watch and pay the price and don't know which is more poisonous, more dangerous, or more ridiculous?
