Pakistan has the invariable distinction of having been blessed with many saviors. The latest in market is the media. Some media persons think of themselves as the sole voice of sanity and these so-called analysts and experts think of themselves above anything or anyone. The media’s present crusade on the elected government is beyond any modicum of mannerism. The onslaught seems, at times completely revengeful. Some anchors on a particular news TV are so enthusiastic about finding faults with government that a cap seems to them as an act of treason. AN ABSURDITY AT EXTREME.
These so called saviors think of these utterances as the words of gospels and every act of government as blasphemy. They cannot see any act of the government as worthy of credit.
In any civilized society, media plays an impartial observer role telling the facts as they are and crediting for good things and censuring for the bad ones. Media is not as judgmental in any modern state as is ours. The elected president of the country is being so revengefully attacked by a bunch of self-righteous TV anchors who find lashing a girl in public as Islamic.
Venezuela presents an excellent example of how media distorts the images of national leaders for its own gain. Those who are shouting foul should look at their own self. How do these media men live a life of luxury? This wealth acquired by blackmailing and live a life of crown is itself highly questionable.
The respected profession of media is, unfortunately, in the hands of self-seekers.
God bless my country.
