In Defense Of Talk Shows Response

I think calling talk shows a moralistic forum is a bit too much because I doubt that the reason for the show is to teach its participants the correct way to live and treat their friends. It seems to be more of a contest for who has the most deranged view of life and the craziest ideas of reality. They gave the example of a perverted relationship between a girl and her boyfriend, and just because the audience was not applauding this situation the author tries to draw a conclusion that the hosts strong words against the guests on the show are really some sort of exhortation not to sin but really he is just calling them crazy. I think talk shows are the lowest of human form and any one who watches them is wasting their time. There is no moral betterment that derives from these talk shows. The bible says that you should guard your eves and abstain from evil. These talk shows are definitely evil. They are true stories of sinful people with no form of repentance being publicly humiliated. One does not gain any practical knowledge about morality from these shows, just a picture of a fallen world and the victims of a life of sin. Overall if one idealized the whole situation and looked at the big picture I could understand the viewpoint of the author. But even so the church is the place for reproof and repentance not a talk show.
