The concept of media has changed in recent years, as traditional media outlets now seek to present content in an attractive manner through social media platforms. A prime example of this shift is the talk shows aired during recent Ramadan seasons.

These talk shows, featuring artists and media personalities, have lately focused on exposing the private scandals of their guests by delving into very personal matters in their lives, which only serve to stir up controversy and ignite "trends" by clipping these programs and spreading them on social media. Consequently, these shows rely on guests with personal or interpersonal issues to fuel old or ongoing conflicts.

What's strange is that most of these shows are pre-recorded, meaning the guests are well aware of the questions they will be asked during the episode. This turns these programs into something akin to "verbal mud-slinging" and controversy. This is one way celebrities capitalize on their fame and popularity with the public in exchange for additional financial gain through appearances on these shows, which yield significant financial returns for them, but at the same time damage their image in front of the public.

What's even more bizarre is the societal reaction to the content of these shows, as their curiosity is piqued, leading them to watch, which in turn fuels conflicts between fans of these stars and transforms entertainment programs into disputes between individuals on social media platforms. In recent years, these shows have dealt a severe blow to professional ethics by showcasing conflicts between beloved public figures and focusing on stirring up controversy rather than presenting these stars in a good light, providing respectable and meaningful entertainment to individuals.

This may benefit advertisers and show providers by achieving high viewership rates, even if only through social media platforms and not their primary television broadcasts, which have lost their luster due to individuals' reliance on apps for most entertainment content.

Therefore, a reconsideration of television program content, especially those aired during the Ramadan season on Arab satellite channels, is necessary, focusing on the positive aspects of guests' lives instead of exposing all that is ugly. The public's perception is influenced by the content they consume through the media, and the continuous accumulation of watching these programs that portray life in such a manner will cast its shadow by normalizing and emulating these behaviors in reality. Authorities responsible for regulating media in Arab countries must monitor the content of these shows, as well as "prank" programs that promote violence, and attempt to curb them.

Once again, media content aimed at entertaining the public should be utilized constructively, striving to improve individual behavior rather than distracting their minds with conflicts and disputes to no avail. The integration of entertainment with meaningful content in the media is one of the most important means of building a healthy society based on sound principles and enhancing cohesion among its members.
