But what do you expect? Television has become exclusively for entertainment and unfortunately most people don't consider education to be entertaining. The same is happening with books now. Go into a book store (assuming you can find one in Qatar) and ask them what are their newest books are...you'll probably get something like "Skiing for Morons", "Idiots Guide to Politics", "Basic Sociology for the Neanderthal" and "Cosmo's 2009 Bedside Astronomer".
