Is it stupid to believe in creative & constructive debates on talk-shows?

When is there going to be invented a true talk-show concept?

I’m not quite a big fan of politics. I enjoy what’s behind, I find it fascinating when it comes to learn about how a campaign is made (and that’s the reason I hate I wasn’t able to attend this year’s Cannes Lions seminars). I even find fascinating the way politicians build their reputation and credibility. But I hate politics when it comes to sticking fingers and pointing out mistakes. They’re politicians, they lie, why should I believe them? Isn’t lying what they’re payed to do?

People don’t care about politics. They care about what the guys on TV comment on politics.

I’m starting to believe in creative strategies and using opportunities in creating strategies for a better living. OK, I know, I’m an optimist, but shouldn’t this be their real target? While I believe in this ideal world where politicians might actually do something good for the people, they go on TV and point fingers.

Why isn’t TV used for real conversation? Why isn’t it used for coming up with ideas that can be put into practice? Why aren’t talk-shows used to come up with new concepts? Why should we stick to point a finger: “That’s so wrong, ’cause I’m a big bad ass politician and I know better, it shouldn’t have been done this way“?. And here’s something else: you know what they usually respond to a question like “What would you have done?” when asked? They say:

Well, you see, I would have done it in a different manner. As we all know, we live in this beautiful country, God forbid I be wrong, with this wonderful people and… And I believe in this great system called democracy, where the actions are not really taken by politicians, but by the people, who deserve the best and we always want to give them a good life. But you see, there’s this battle of interests, we’re pure, I swear!, but our competition, well, they have this hidden agenda…

I’d really like to see real answers. Those answers could be an inspiration to the goverments. But, hey!, who cares as long as PR agencies get their money? I need constructive ideas, I need to see that “yes, you can”. I need solutions that can be put into practice, not the same PR bullshit. No wonder TV loses audience.
