Again not all of the above mentioned are saints/angels, yet the culprits are few in numbers and am sure about this. May ALLAH bless our beloved country Pakistan! Aamin!
Brother, if culprits were less and lawmen more, we wouldn't be in a spot of bother today. Unfortunately, it is other way around.

Someone said our media is puppet in the hands of U.S. and Indian hands. There is a grain of truth to this. The USA has a history of dabbling in internal affairs of countries all over the world to further its interests. To this end, it has done everything ranging from pressurising states into accepting its unlawful demands to attacking and overthrowing governments. It has used media(both home media, as in Guetemalan coup and the subject county's media, as it purchased the whole of media of a south American country whose name escapes me at the moment, in early 80's) as a tool to achieve its goals. Pakistan is a very important country of the world( at least much more important than those south american countries). We can thus surmise that it must have also done something about pakistan media as well. But, why is it that the US and India or Israel are able to manipulate our media and not vice versa? Have you people heard any American say that Pakistan or Saudi Arabia is manipulating their media? No. The reason, put bluntly, is 'we are bikau maal'. We are a mob every member of which is insincere, inept, and busy in self aggrandisement. To each of us personal interests override national interest. So are our journalists. Unless our mind set changes(and only God knows how) we cant hope to have national media defending its ideological borders nor a nation moving toward a respectable position in the world.
