Who will lose the million?

Some may be surprised when they learn that many of our government-funded television channels are still ignorant of how they can knock on their doors, and they may be shocked when they learn that those who chair the media selection committees, future broadcasters and broadcasters, and training academies are from the “Who Will Lose a Million” group!

How long will the localization indicators on our TV channels remain unmonitored?

And when will we start localizing the simplest job in the content and media industry, which is the job of the “broadcaster”?

Certainly, the broadcaster must be educated, intuitive and intelligent, with linguistic abilities, verbal skills, acumen, and dialogue management skills, but this is not considered difficult to qualify engineers and astronauts who took us to Mars, or an atomic scientist, or an engineer operating a nuclear reactor, which is We have been able to achieve tangible and unique successes by localizing them at the regional level.

Not for nothing, except because we were satisfied with creating and marketing celebrities who presented low-quality content that did not suit the reputation of the Gulf and its sons, and we were satisfied with the support and sponsorship of a fifth media column, when it was satisfied with winning millions, he returned and bit the hand that extended to him with care and tenderness, after treating him as a righteous son and a brother-in-law, to be believed. There is a famous Arab saying: “Do not rub your skin like your fingernail,” as well as “Do what is good for its people.”

Most of the Arab brothers are aware of the importance of economic and development integration, especially in the media content industry, but the repeated betrayals and bombed messages prompt us to demand that we focus on Gulf ambassadors, representatives and media stars.

We mention that we have not and will not hear or see a Gulf broadcaster speaking or presenting programs on their private or public channels, because we are Bedouins?

Or perhaps because if he had dared to insinuate sabotage organizations, he would have returned to us on a stretcher in the best of circumstances. These are organizations led by individuals who hijacked planes, were killed and supported the destabilization of Gulf security.

In this context, I mention a noble situation that shows the difference, and it happened in one of the programs shown by our local channels, when a Gulf comedian stood in mourning for our martyrs, asking to stand in respect for them, and condolences to their families and their country, in a noble initiative that reflected his Gulf national sense, the like of which we have not seen Among the rest of the Arab stars who contributed to the Gulf media machinery industry.

The repetition of media betrayals prompts us to ask about the justifications for restricting our largest and most funded and sponsorship programs, which we only see if the broadcaster is not exclusively from the Gulf!

Is the presence of media and advertising companies headed by the same nationality a reason for this racism and monopoly?

I quote here the saying of one of the citizen media brothers: “Our youth are more entitled to opportunities, with invitations to hosting and honoring, and they are no less talented than others.

Let us learn from the funding of the “One Man Show” based on media personalities who have increased their fame and invested in them, to achieve millions through advertisements that they would not have obtained had it not been for our investment in them and their millions. A terrorist “militia.” If the announcer was honest, he would not have the skin of a snake, and he would not be colored like a chameleon.

Let us keep from our media brothers those who preserved friendliness, integrity as a sponsor, and media charters into consideration, and let us leave “those who will lose millions” under the auspices of the producers of narcotic pills, and the exporters of “Captagon”.

The recipe for Al-Maani’s success in the Arabic version of the famous program was represented in the drama, and it seems that he transferred the pillar of his success from the famous program to his media and political message.. The man of the drama, and as a broadcaster, his fortune is estimated at 20 million dollars. His homeland is like the rest of the people of the brotherly country, or is he one of those who have been lifted from the pen because of their permissible loyalty?

The important question, after working for a Gulf-funded channel, is: What was the reason for leaving it in 2004 after a decade-long work?

Why was he re-contracted again in 2005 in the same channel?

Is there no one in this country but this boy?!

His media career shows the extent of some people’s control over decision-making and unaccountable favoritism for certain groups and tendencies. It is no secret that he left work in 2011 due to irresponsible statements that contradict the political orientations of the Gulf channel, and despite that he maintained his position, until his recent downfall.

I quote from the words of one of the artists what she said about his “ignorance of the Lebanese issue, so what about the Yemeni issue?” And what one of his excellencies said: “I wish he had sought help from a friend, and not become a media prank. He lost a million.

Let the ambassadors of our radios and television channels be among the citizen journalists, as well as from the Arab brothers and sisters, the stars, with a clear orientation and message, away from cheap political gains.
