George Kordahi a journalist and a very famous TV presenter said that programs were bought from the west had a very powerful audience like, star academy and Arabs got talent, some of them have a bad influence in public, and have incivility.

The Arab Media Forum is an annual forum for journalists and media professionals to debate and discuss upon issues that matters in our daily life.

In the beginning of the talk George said that there are Entertainment programs that touch our life, traditions and our believes and cross the red line. It attracts more viewers based on the say everything forbidden, is more in request.

"I refused to present the program – The moment of Truth, after I read it contents and I didn’t like it because this program enters in people's privacy in a negative way. The speaker Abdullah Boftain Al Rai Tv presenter asked him, do you think this program crosses the redline, and he answered, no, but it would touch the line because it's about people's life privacy.

George pointed in a very important thing that TV stations that buy pointless programs from the west, they defend themselves that now it's time that the Arab world should enter modernity and urbanization, and dare to say that what people's see in the internet through YouTube and other sites are much stronger than what we present.
