I most like the warnings in the news or anywhere else in media. I mean I find them useful. For example; just like the weather conditions which gives an idea for what to wear or some announcements like “do not go to Taksim there will be a protest today”. I think these warnings are so important and there is a need for such a strong power like media to reach millions of people. But if we consider just news as a whole, there are things that I do not like. One thing I hate about the news is that they love dramatizing the stories about the people who are poor, sick, old or whatever. I am not a hard hearted person but trying to make something worse than itself just makes me think that it may not be even real. They always do the same things; if it is a newspaper you see an old woman crying photograph, if it is TV you hear a song which says like “it is really bad, isn’t it?” and slow motion crying again etc. I am not sure about if this is in only Turkey but I guess it is. Our seemingly sensitive people in media… Another thing I enjoy is the sport news like anybody else who is a male in Turkey. In the meantime, I usually prefer TV as a media outlet because I do not like media in some written documents much as I think TV seems to inform quicker than any outlets. The most enjoyable programmes in TV are qualified movies, comedy series and football matches. These fully need visual effects and that is what TV for. Finally, I hate politicians’ shoutings at a stand and lying over and over. They may not be lying all the time maybe, but I just see them as actors or actresses and I cannot get rid of these thoughts while I am watching them trying to control their voice, be impressive, reliable etc. As a result, I do not like the artificial things in media outlets; not the dramatic news nor the politicians.
