We are enslaved and are simultaneously denied our right to think beyond specific domestic issues.
Where the world is going through multiple political, social and economic changes, where 15000 plus humans (or Muslims) have lost their lives in Syria, where the regimes are undergoing drastic changes, where thousands of Rohingya Muslims are being slaughtered, burnt and crushed ruthlessly in Myanmer (Burma), etc; our TV anchors are busy maligning the Parliamentarians at times and Judiciary at others. Sometimes they criticize our army and sometimes they seem hell busy instilling the opinions about moral degradedness or unethical behavioural patterns of Pakistani society. And all this mess keeps going on 24/7.
This self-proclaimed fourth-pillar of the state not only sensationalize the news, but also helps raising the blood-pressure of the viewers. Totally biased it has become. Its policies seem no more objective but only in a sense to improve the ratings.

Dear,you are very right.
Actually,our media groups are owned by business men who have no interest in anything but the profit which they could get from these spicy news.They dont know about the educative value of media.
One thing really amazed me when i saw a few clips of"Utho Jago Pakistan"..in which Shaista wahidi invited the so-called religious scholors and they frequently talked about the"black magic and status of soul after death".A country where only 13%women are literate and majority of them are living in rural areas,such programmes could play a havoc.Though,my statement does not match to the topic,but here the question comes about the policy and role of media,therefore,i feel appropriate to mention this thing here.It is crying need of the hour to settle the boundaries of electronic as well as SOCIAL MEDIa now.
