Default Is the media in Pak biased?

Today, I was watching Geo News. I watched a clip in which the president was being forced to appear in the court as there are serious corruption charges on him. The main point is that the constitution gives immunity to the president and the governors.
My point is that why the media is doing bombardment on the president only. There are other politicians like Nawaz, Altaf and etc who are venal and there are serious charges on them too. Recently PML-N leader handed over his income report to the election commission that he has only Rs.5000 in his treasure. Why other politicians are not being said to appear in the court and bring the wealth which they have looted from the nations' exchequer?
Note: I am not affiliated with any party.

Aariz Memon

Media is run by human beings and the human beings have feelings, likes, dislikes and biases, so it is natural for the media to take sides. Furthermore, some newspapers and channels are mouth pieces of different parties and idealogies and they keep on spreading their point of view, twisted the news in their favour, try to make their desires turn into news.
It depends on readers and audiance what they perceive from the media. Dont believe what you listen/watch/read in media unless you get it confirmed from an indepedent source.

Default destructive media

the role of pakistan media is very destructive now a days.majority of channels are attached with the main parties,they keep on spreading their point of view, twisted the news in their favour, try to make their desires turn into news.there should be trial of each and every person ,because every minister and all the parties are engaged in corruption.

Geo’s standard has gone down significantly. In the sense that:



Ab Nawaz Shareef Airport mai Daakhil ho gaye hain,
Ab Nawaz Sharif Business Class PIA check in counter pai kharay hain.
Ab yeh ab woh…Ab Jahaz kai Durwazay band ho gaye hain….
What is this? This post is not formatted specifically to target NS campaign. I have finally come up with something to prove the point after series of watching the same kind of reporting in past one year over countless occassions.

Have you ever heard CNN or BBC doing coverage like this (in recent past at least)? It sounds and seems more of a FOX News coverage but even they aren’t this much. Don’t they have slightest idea what poison they are filling in our youth, young generation and even the elders of the society by emotionally torturing them?

instead of showing true picture of not only one minister or party,they should keep on light on their corrupt activities while media is focusing on their little personal activities such as, ab Nawaz Shareef Airport mai Daakhil ho gaye hain,Ab Nawaz Sharif Business Class PIA check in counter pai kharay hain.
Ab yeh ab woh…Ab Jahaz kai Durwazay band ho gaye hain….

Come ON!!!

I know I sound disturbed (read angry). But let me say it. It is simply PATHETIC. As a matter of fact, Way too much of it.

These channels should be banned until they know anything about journalism and being reasonable in their reporting. Idiots. :|

Given examples prove that media in pakistan is biased for sure but the all blame can't be attached with Geo only. Every channel in pakistan have affiliation with some political party or a soft corner for a particular one. Express,BP,duniya not a single one could be called unbiased.I still remember the blame-game between rana sana and salman taseer in recent past and its coverage in the tv-channels.
I think there must be some legal or at least moral rules(implimentation) for media in pakistan as absolute freedom leads to chaos and same is media doing in pakistan.

Media in Pakistan, with few exceptions, is serving its own interest.Journalists are unfamiliar to the standards of professionalism ,ethics and morality. Instead of promoting social harmony , disseminating information in impartial way, condemning extremist ideologies , presenting real picture of prevailing situation ,focusing on various issues of national interest etc, many of the well known journalists dont tire of discussing Zardari and fueling anti american sentiments.They have remained successful to the extent to make people believe that Zardari and Co is root of all ills afflicted on Pakistan and once the current Govt is shown the way to home by any mean -be it constitutional or unconstitutional - Pakistan will come out of current plight.

What coverage they have given to other socio-economic issues of national concern? How many talk shows had been organised to spotlight the impending water crises before the current floods? What effort they have made to organised a purposeful public discourse to find real causes of energy crunch? Have they put any sincere effort to discern the causes of bad governance at all spheres of administration? Have we seen any program, exceptions may be there, on education,literature ,science and technology?

If media's performance is to be judged on coverage of judiciary executive row,or maligning Asif Ali zardari then it is doing excellent job.However if its role is to be judged on the pure journalistic scale , the score will remain miserably low.
