If Davuto?lu had a TV show, it would be canceled in two weeks

Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu spoke in a joint live broadcast on ATV and A Haber the other day. The time of the live broadcast was between 6.50 p.m. and 8 p.m.; in other words, the prime time slot when newscasts are broadcast. 

What he was competing with in that time slot were not popular serials or contests, they were only other main news broadcasts of the day. 

I looked at the ratings. In general, the audience for Davuto?lu was 40th; in the AB group, he was 41st.  
The main newscast of the day at ATV Haber in the same time slot received twice the rating and share.  
If Davuto?lu were someone who made weekly television programs, with these results, his program would be canceled before its third week. 

However, these bad results are not related to Davuto?lu?s television performance. Whichever politician goes on live television, the result is more or less the same. The reason is that the Turkish audience does not watch any program now, from politics to football and women?s programs, if it does not have a quarrel or fighting in it. 

The Turkish audience does not have any tolerance for a person on television explaining something calmly to them. They want action; they want excitement. 

The morning shows for women are criticized, but even political programs are similar. The mentality is the same: Let there be fighting, so that it will be watched more.

This is the reason why only three of every 100 people watching television at that time tuned in to Davuto?lu. But if a scenario had played out where he was fighting with the hosts, you would have seen what would have happened?
