Damn native speakers

i think that TV's aim is not only to entertain us,
but also to provide some knowledge,
and TV's prezenters shouldn't be on one level
with (or strive to) idiots, uneducated, ignorant people.
(from producers' point of view such prezenters will attract more
attention, absolute rubbish!!!
people zest for something new, the problem is that in most cases
it is offered and given in an unproper and uninteresting way)

today while having a dinner i watched one TV show,
audience could call to studio, speak to prezenter,
ask a video they want to watch

this day the prezenter made an attempt to check
the knowledge of putting stresses in words:
to those who managed to reach the studio
he showed a written on a paper word
and asked to pronounce it
in a correct way from their point of view


the prezenter didn't know the answers to some tasks
and checked the answers from time to time
when he started correcting the right answer to incorrect
and asking the poor girl (who gave the right answer)to tell
her teacher's name and saying something like "...shame on you
mrs. teacher...", i switched off TV


i can't say that i am the best specialist of the Russian language
i also make mistakes

but this ignorance kills me
i am sure that this girl will remember an incorrect way
of pronounciating, cause of this she didn't manage to get a prize
and what is the worse she suffered a disgrace

Unfortunately, intention and execution didn't
turn out to be near each other.
