6 disturbing cases of hate speech on the screen, sociologist Tushi: The media tends towards the spectacular, forgets the human mission
Derogatory language that is used against different categories during media reports is a growing concern in our country.
During 2023, quite a few cases were identified by the Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination.
Contacted by Politiko.al, this institution has made available the report where 6 cases were examined, in which discrimination was claimed by the leaders of the shows or the participants/guests in them.
Currently, the KMD has closed with a decision 3 complaints and continues the investigation procedure for 3 other complaints, specifically on the screen of TCH, Syri tv, MCN, etc., but in this article we will focus on one of them.
The case of lawyer Ngjela: "Even when a woman is raped, she surrenders from pleasure"
The lawyer Spartak Ngjela shocked with a statement during an interview on the show 'Let me speak', on Top Channel, stating that "a woman or girl even when she is raped surrenders from pleasure".
According to the Commissioner, in this case, discrimination was found in the form of hate speech due to gender by a guest on the television show, after a complaint filed by the Association "For Social Justice".
What happened at the hearing between the parties
On 04.07.2023, the parties were invited to a hearing, at the Commissioner's Office, with the presence of representatives of the complaining party: G. S, Chairman of the Association, as well as of the parties against whom the complaint was filed: lawyer Ngjela, personally and two representatives of Top Channel.
During the session, the representatives of Top Channel emphasized that they have taken measures to remove the part where the lawyer expresses what the Association has complained about, clarifying that the link has become private and is not accessible to the general public.
On the part of the complaining party, it was requested that if there was a public apology from Njjela, they would withdraw from the complaint, but according to the Commissioner, there was no reaction within the measures taken by him to request a public apology.
Thus, the KMD has declared the administrative procedure for the part of the complaint related to the claims raised against Top Channel National Television completed without a final decision, as the effectiveness and purpose for which the investigative procedure had been initiated against this subject has been achieved.
According to the decision, lawyer Ngjela has consumed the discriminatory behavior and has been asked to make a public statement by which he distances himself from the use of hate speech and avoids its use in the future.
Sociologist Tushi: The media often tends towards the spectacular, forgets the human mission
Sociologu Gëzim Tushi ka bërë një analizë të zgjeruar në Politiko.al sa i takon gjuhës diskriminuese që haset shpesh në mediat shqiptare.
Sipas tij, media dhe opinion publik duhen ndërgjegjësuar, duke pranuar se niveli i dhunës mbi gratë shqiptare nuk është thjesht një problem gjinor.
Përkundrazi, sipas tij ajo duhet parë, vlerësuar dhe interpretuar si shprehje e nivelit të qytetërimit tonë.
“Unë mendoj se ka ardhur moment kur në “ideologjinë e medias” duhet rrënjosur koncepti modern i trajtimit të dhunës mbi gratë.
Kjo kërkon bindjen e fortë dhe profesionalisht të rrënjosur se kjo dhunë që ushtrohet në mënyrë të gjerë dhe sistematike, për shoqërisë shqiptare nuk është problem anësor dhe periferik, por thelbësor dhe me peshë sociale.
Dhuna mbi gratë në të gjitha format e saj, fizike, verbale, emocionale apo e “përzier” është bërë një “limfë sociale” që rrjedh me intensitet të lartë në shoqërinë tonë. Në familje dhe jashtë saj, në habitate private dhe ambiente publike.
Ekzistenca e këtij niveli të dhunës është një “turp social” i cili shpesh herë në media dhe biseda private apo debate publike trajtohet në mënyrë sempliste duke e konsideruar si “problem kulturor” dhe jo ashtu sikurse është në të vërtetë një problem i pastër kriminal. Shpeshherë në trajtimet mediatike ka një kakofoni konceptuale dhe një ambiguitet terminologjik dhe qëndrimesh që sjellin “argument” të natyrës zbutëse apo justifikuese për ekzistencën e dhunës dhe krimit mbi gratë.
Kjo krijon një mbulesë, një “pelerinë” sociale dhe mediatike që i vendos këtij fenomeni shpesh herë terma të gabuara apo sfumime mediatike, që zbusin artificialisht efektet degraduese të dhunës mbi gratë. Madje nganjëherë deri në nivelin e degradimit të “statusit shoqëror” të gruas duke e trajtuar në mënyrë të gabuar dhunën, shpesh herë deri në nivele kritike justifikuese e antihumane”, thotë Tushi.
Sociologu thotë se ka raste kur nga trajtimi semplist mediatik, tek njerëzit, sidomos tek meshkujt e dhunshëm, krijohet ideja se dhunë është “çështje e jetës private” dhe jo “çështje publike” sociale dhe mediatike.
“Nëse problemin e paragjykimeve e shohim më gjërë, sociologjikisht konstatoj se në përgjithësi ndihet nevoja e zgjeruar e një “vigjilence mediatike” për fjalë, fraza, e qëndrime paragjykuese maskiliste, racore, seksiste e kulturore.
Në jo pak raste në media shpëtojnë fjalë e fjali që shfaqen si recidiva të paragjykimeve të tilla. Gjuha pezhorative, përçmuese, diskriminuese është akoma një substance sociale e mediatike “toksike” që qarkullon në hapësirën publike e mediatike.
E sjellë në raste të caktuara nga gazetarët apo në të shumtën e rasteve nga të ftuarit. Sidomos evidente është kjo “patologji” sociale e mediatike kur flitet për të drejtat e njerëzve për shkak të orientimit seksual të tyre, për njerëz që kanë probleme të shëndetit mendor apo kanë vartësi nga lëndët prikotrope (drogë dhe alkool)”, thekson sociologu.
"The media cannot allow the spread of "prejudicial acids" on its screens. It cannot become an ally of public opinion that exhibits mediocrity, thus violating the main professional principles of its deotology.
It happens that journalists or media specialists forget the human mission because they tend towards the sensational and the spectacular even though it can be harmful from the social side. This must be corrected...", appeals Tushi.
Similar cases during 2023
As for the complaints for which the review procedure continues, the Commissioner has found similar cases of discrimination in the media.
Specifically:
1. "Wear my shoes" Association, against the Xhadat Show, on MCN TV, alleging discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, where, among other things, the language of hatred towards the Roma Community in Albania is used.
In this show, one of the speakers (humorous journalists), among other things, said "...he made it with concrete, because if he made iron, they would come to the kurbeter and sell it to him", the term kurbeter is a discriminatory and derogatory term for the community Rom used in the city of Korça, also the context of this video shows discriminatory labels for this minority. This video continues to be on Facebook and MCN. TV, website.
2. The Center for Community Action, against the Top Story Show, Top Channel, claims discrimination due to race and ethnicity, as during the show the guest A.T and then the presenter G.D used and spoke in pejorative and derogatory terms such as "Jevgjitkat of Albania".
3. Subject A. F., against Emisioni Stop, Klan Tv, alleged discrimination due to disability.
According to experts, the competition for following and the thirst for more clicks has brought a series of problems in audiovisual and online media, harming public information.
Experts insist that this phenomenon be reduced to avoid serious consequences in the future for the public./ Punoi: S.F. Gjidede
