Johnny Depp, one of the most important actors of our time, has maintained his common sense in Hollywood for a surprisingly long time.
When reporters once again asked him to comment on a certain American political issue, Depp responded that at fifty years old, he was learning a script someone else wrote for him and making faces at the camera. He questioned, "What advice on a political topic are you expecting from me?"
Sadly, it's very challenging to sell such an act of admitting one's own incompetence. Our media professionals are unable to replicate his bravery. Every regional theater has its performers, and every TV host or actress is expected to have a prepared opinion for any occasion. Dinara Egeubayeva, a TV personality retired due to her age, gained fame by reading scripted news. Just like Johnny Depp, she was heavily made up before appearing on NTV and Khabar. However, Egeubaeva couldn't find the courage to say, "I'M JUST THE ANNOUNCER. WHAT WISE POLITICAL POSITION DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME?"
I’M JUST THE ANNOUNCER. WHAT WISE POLITICAL POSITION DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME?
Unfortunately, the era where actors, athletes, and announcers were involved in politics still exists. We can look at Ronald Reagan as a successful example. But let's face it: how many senators and congressmen are former media personalities? How many actors are in the Bundestag? Honest politics is hardly compatible with most professions, including that of a speaker. Just because Dinara Egeubayeva read thousands of news articles, it doesn't make her a journalist. Even though she dictated numerous news articles, she did not become a journalist. She didn't become a banker just because she advertised banks. Despite advertising banks, she didn't become a banker.Starring in light adult films didn't make her a porn actress. Now, she's being presented to us as a "politician", pretending to be the “voice of the people.” Despite practically not residing in Kazakhstan and her children being more proficient in English than any other language, she doesn't hesitate to speak on behalf of the country and challenge Tokaev to a “duel and a frank conversation..
The assumption of Dinara Egeubayeva's competence is achieved through her being the face of the news for the aging part of the population. However, behind that face is nothing but make-up. Naturally, this doesn't mean that the make-up doesn't have an “owner” who is interested in Egeubayeva's activities. This owner is Dariga Nazarbayeva, who generously covers all the costs of maintaining Egeubayeva and her PR management. If tomorrow Tokaev becomes Dariga’s best friend, Egeubayeva's rhetoric will change overnight. As rumors have it, Dariga spends about 2 million dollars monthly on her positive public relations (excluding her own media expenses), and at least three million of the same foreign funds on negative PR, directed against the Kazakhstan 2.0 project. It's safe to assume that at least a quarter of this ends up in the pockets of Egeubayeva's team. This is the expensive make-up of the TV presenter.
The presumption of competence of Dinara Egeubayeva is achieved by the fact that for the already aging part of the population it is she who is the face of the news. But behind that face is nothing but make-up. Naturally, this does not mean that this make-up does not have a “owner” who is interested in the activities of Egeubayeva. The owner has a name – this is Dariga Nazarbayeva, who generously covers all the costs of maintaining Dinara Egeubayeva and her PR management. And if tomorrow Tokaev becomes Dariga’s best friend, then Dinara’s rhetoric will change overnight. As evil tongues slander, Dariga spends about 2 million dollars a month on his white PR (excluding the content of his own media), and at least three million of the same overseas money on black, directed against the Kazakhstan 2.0 project. It is easy to guess that at least a quarter ends up in the pockets of Egeubayeva’s team. This is how the expensive make-up of the TV presenter turns out.
