It is what media did in the case of Mumbai Attacks but why our government is silent to give an answer to India or to take serious action against media. Why our government is silent on this serious type of issue? Our media is strong than government that our government is not going to take action or any secrets behind the wall? Government should pursue a policy for the media to control such kind of incidents in the future because some channels are against the ideology of Pakistan and always try to get a chance to criticize Pakistan.

Dear the Govt is afraid that if it takes any action against the media, the media will start a capaign against the Govt which we call is "Media Trial". Most of the people in our country do not have an opinion of their own, the make their opinion by listening to the NEws and reading the news paper. It is our responsibility to criticize the media and record our protest against it by any means available to us. You saw what so called an Islamic scholar Aamir Liaqat did in his Ramzan transmission? I really felt sorry for him and all those who listen to him.....

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
But when love is one sided, holding off is no more an option.

media,being a huge industry itself has certain responsibilities to be performed and shoul have certain values also.media should be patriotic,media should know that what matters shouldbe addressed publically and what shouldbe sensored in terms of national interests.

Well It's not just media who is responsible,it's the people of our nation who stands with them.like we love to watch sensational news and Indian dramas in which Hindu culture is reflecting. Why do we love them? Why cant we boycott those channels and dramas??
Tv channels are solely doing their business and they will show whatever users wants to see..
and if they are crossing their limits like they did several times, it's the responsibility of PEMRA who should take notice against those channels and journalist who support yellow journalism and spread fallacious news without confirming..
And bdw Media was not the only who claim Ajmal Kasab as a Pakistani..unfortunately some of our mainstream Politicians like Nawaz shareef who also declared him our black sheep and indirectly blamed our army and ISI..

I agree with you bro but what a common Pakistani do if all the channels are showing the same things and now one is honest with this nation. And what PEMRA will do they are also human being and sadly they are among us. Media is good business these days the receive huge amounts from abroad and also from Pakistani political parties. In Pakistan media is blackmailer they have secrets of every politician and when any one wants to take any action they blackmail and that's why government is silent and not going to take any action.

This is a fact contradicted by a mere handful of people, whose interest lies either with them or with the states or people who control their reins. This Ajmal Kasaab wala might just be one incident , but our media has time and again proven to be biased, very versatile in harming the institutions of our country and last but not the least , Its role of tarnishing the image of our military.... Needless to say , that freedom of expression , sure is a right of each and every person, but at the same time comes the responsibility on each one of them to take extra care in the words they choose, as to not affect the national interest. Our Media is by far , the most irresponsible and completely immature media of the world .....!!!!!!!

Mr. Rizwan, your judgement might be wrong. In this current era Media can easily change your mind. They have Technics to wash your brain. I am agreed that there is lack of Awareness and literacy in Pakistan. But US & EU like countries is also suppress from Media Influence.

In my point of view it is at lowest level for, whenever there is a question of national dignity ,role of our media would be venomous and disparaging to the country. The latest proof to assert my point is all stuff of Ajmal Kassab and Bombay Attacks etc. A so called 'jihadi' is uttering 'Bhagwan would not pardon him' ;while our media rushes off to locate his home in Pakistan. However our media demonstrates an outstanding sense of nationalism where it is not necessary at that extent e.g when Pakistan wins a cricket match etc.

Jab 65 saal se Politicians, Generals & Bureaucrats hee patriots nh banay tou 10 saal k umer k Media se b itne high expectations nh rakhne chahyeh.

Do you really think Our 'afraid' Govt is capable & uncorrupt enough to penalize anybody?

friends don't worry. Now the youngsters have introduced the weapons against print and electronic media. That is the social media in Pakistan which is very accurately busy to clarify the real facts and issues in our country. Interestingly, due to the increasing importance of social media many media anchors are very annoying and depressed. Because social media provide real and accurate information to the people of Pakistan. Media anchors did many programs on the increasing importance of social media. But they are failed in their campaign against social media.

Media outlets should not be patriotic. They should be objective.

There is an example of a major international "patriotic" news channel. It's called Fox News and it's the laughing-stock of the world.

Television channels are only motivated by one factor - profit. For profit, they need good ratings. For that, they need a lot of people to watch their channel most of the time. And in order to do that, they churn out material that most people are most likely to watch. It's pretty circular. The garbage spewed out by most television channels is a reflection of us - it's what we want to watch.

It's actually pretty disappointing to watch young, educated people calling for the government to take action against the "unpatriotic" media. Where are we living - Nazi Germany, China or North Korea? We should be mature enough to accept a diversity of opinions, even if we consider them "unpatriotic". After all, what's patriotic for me can be treasonous for someone else. Especially the Zaid Hamid crowd.
