Lies Over & Over Again

I don’t think that a super star T.V presenter like Hala Sarhan will do such a thing because she won’t risk her great reputation for one show. However, let’s assume that she fabricated all the stories. Is that ethical??!!!
Sure NO, because by doing this media will deceive people’s thoughts. Using media negatively just to make money or be popular is unacceptable. Many people around the world trust the media and it has a huge effect on their daily life, so taking advantage of people’s trust to beat your competitors and be the best in market is really offensive.

On the other hand, in Hala Sarhan show the purpose behind fabricating stories and hiring girls to play the role of being professional prostitutes was to educate people and bring their attention to this vital issue. Moreover, I believe that prostitutes’ problem exists in many countries all over the world and Egypt is one of these countries. But in this part of the world people and media don’t like to admit this fact because of our culture that’s why Hala used fake people.

Actually, I am totally against lying and fabricating stories which didn’t happen. Nevertheless, I agree with broad casting true stories from the real world even if media uses fake people to say it.

Finally, media has become an important source of information in our daily life. However, we can’t always believe the stories and news that media provide because media lies a lot.
