the media continues to put morally devoid characters in front of our faces through television and the radio. why do they choose to put morally corrupt figures at the forefront of our society through television shows, songs, and movies?

Disgusting, isn't it? More disgusting is the fact that so many people gobble it up.
It is so easy to pinpoint a person's level of integrity by simply asking who their idols are. If they name a 'star,' you immediately know their morals are in the gutter with the exception of a very few stars.
All we can do is refuse to participate in the parade of popular culture.

The #1 rule in media is to give the people what they want. This "morally corrupt material" is what is being demanded, so of course that is what will be supplied. Why sell something that the public doesn't want? The major movie, music and television companies and associated organizations would be dead in a week. Unless you are suggesting some kind of totalitarian dictatorship that would force us to be exposed to what you consider to be morally sound, I prefer just turning the TV off if I don't like what is on than. Nobody is forcing you to watch this crap. If you don't like what you see, turn that shyt off and go outside and play.

there are often three reasons. money, security and power.
money: it can be gained if your audience believe that something is required for their continued existence. most of the time we call this advertising but there are the grey areas of this.a spectacular example of was during november and december of 1999. people feared a phantom called the "millenium bug", a missing lne of code that would cause a global scale power outage. people stocked up on food, water and other supplies in fear that they would be forced to live in darkness. many people blew away their life savings. perhaps it was a plot by the corporate suits to make alot of money? many conspiracy theorists think so.
security: "what you dont know can't hurt you" so the saying goes. one persons misconceptions about a situation can make them believe that if everyone doesnt know about a secret group of terrorists, the testing ofa nuke, or a new and scary technology then everyone will remain calm and continue living in blissful ignorance. the only example i can think of is the fabled area 51's basement level 18 where a 60 year old alien corpse is believed to reside. why would our gov keep that stuff secret? perhaps to keep us safe? who knows?
power: as the saying goes "knowledge is power". if people had knowledge then they would be powerful. if people had power then entire governments could be overthown (in theory). with this knowledge (and an already substantial amount of power to start with) then perhaps the government aor corporates have already corruped the info that you read and view.
nobody can know for certain. if you do then give me a call.
Red and yuki.

i don't think of so. GOD does not "punish human beings". he's in no way like that. The inhabitants concern can not reason the kind of concern the two. devil might communicate in the kind of concern. guy somewhat has been in contact in this epidemic. it somewhat is "reason" got here from some rather stupid issues that guy did rather of listening to his ecosystem. Aids will sooner or later be basically yet another lost concern in our society. with any luck guy will earnings intelligence from it somewhat is ravages and have the potential to greater actually attempt against different ailments as a result. Have a brilliant day. Eds

No one completely controls any media.
The reason they put corrupt characters in front of our faces is because that is a part of reality, and the corrupt characters are often more interesting to watch. It doesn't always happen, but it happens too often - I'll agree with you at least that far .

Uh...because sex, drugs and violence sell well, and flawed characters are more easily related to then those who are perfect.
