Our main issue is this that every department considers itself most powerful and wants to rule out the other departments. Media claims itself the fourth pillar of the state but forgets that a single word casted by it gives vast meaning across the world. It gives coverage only to the negative activities e.g bomb blast, fights, rapes, etc. but it will never show what positive activity is going on simultaneously. At the same time they forget to focus in real issues and continue to give hype to the pity issues. For instance, drought in Thar was not reported and the so called culture show was aired on that time ( surprisingly they covered the cultural show which gave a message of entertainment in our country and no Taliban attacked that too).
Hamid Mir interviewed OBL at the time when he was at some unknown place. Was it possible for Mir to interview without the support of the boots? He was known to work for agencies. Now accusing the same institute for which he had worked is just like the both have some conflict and the past practice shows that there were similar activities in past.
I think instead of banning channels, there must be a code of conduct set for the media too. These rules can be set with mutual understanding of all institutes and consensus.

More recently, Geo is again asked to ban for the Blasphemy committed in UJP but ARY is not being demanded for any such action despite committing same Blasphemy.
