You get dirty here

By d[?] Ç[?] Lubonja For years I have been, since I have not been, in this way about guests on RTSH, taken up with indignation not even for the “Albanian television”, outside any ethical criterion, characterized by a r[?]mes. Simply more? to dehumanize, but above all to divide and identify the followers of N[?]të[?]t[?]n with a government, which they reject even with laughter. This ugliness of the [f]itjes [m]ja[?]s many times with all the TVSH-in[?], a sus[?] of humanity? Hna[?], for me, the linking of the most-followed Albanian programs, above all, seems coordinated with a single mind, perhaps even pa[?]. But above all it is a word and an instrument which has made a part of the people of tele[?]vision, or, in most cases, a part of the intelligence on duty[?], mainly in the media, see their mission through the eyes of politics. The most important thing: if you follow the lunch television with 5-6 programs, all the [p]adërcy[?]res of tele[?]n and exchange the same condition on the screen. This is how it must be understood: one flies stretched out, the other [i]rri straight. Do not [v]ë [s]? at all that this is social matter. The way they deal with it, whether radio or TV, is the same. Almost everything [e] washed down to the ground, that which has to do with other words and with the environment. This is the thesis of the [mbërritjes]?, according to which certain groups use the work of the state as a means of destroying the other, instead of softening it. To tell the truth, I followed this month and continued with great faith that the Rreshti i Te[?]mnit with the [m]ojsat of the [v]ezë would have changed. Perhaps the culture newsroom too? [m]basi among us there works a person determined, but [u] [p]as was disappointed every day by this medium. All this, for what and how, became a scene to me. [A]? [f]anizmi has to do not only with a policy and with people. It is also a spirit and a sweet world; it is [e] [s]hëmtuar insofar as it makes anyone [q]? [m]arrë more. [O]sht? [n]jë place where you get dirty. After five years and 50 unusual months of the gathering of leaders from one [p]ërgënjeshtrim in one [s]hpir[?], people [b]ëhen from people who [s]hkojnë into a [v]rijim. Therefore the so-called “Albanian television” [n]uk [e] [k]uptoj from what it was made. Perhaps, perhaps the fault is also the public’s, the [v]jetr[?]s of the [r]reshtuar on television, with which [s]injor[?] e [e] [b]analitetit has been made. To say [r]reshtazi, this is not only for RTSH. It is the mission of the mentalities of newspapers, of the [f]jalës së [m]adhe, of the microphone. More so, also of a [n]ervi [m]ediatik, which depending on the case uses it as [m]ulli, [s]i [s]hesh, in order to take [n]ën [v]ete the appearance of the other. Then the word is spoken with an ethical and predetermined tone, in the end with a function that has nothing to do with information or debate, but with the destruction of the person. 5 or 6 programs in 50 months in this way are making television a place that is suitable to be in [m]es [p]as[?] [f]ar[?]s. Every other program is pushed into it by some agent to exhaust the viewer’s brain. Why was this done? For transformation, return? for schemes of accusations and triumphs? Why were citizens made only line-up followers and ferrentë? Why was the victory of vulgarity proclaimed? In any case, one comes to understand a thing better: this place has learned to accept even what should not be. And with this I am not speaking only about RTSH, but about many things that come from the media environment, mainly from the press, which, with a language altered by ethics and with a poor vocabulary, also give the model of Albanian television. There is a visible connection between this press and television, especially in the way language is used for attacks and to expose the other’s ears.
