Thats a funny statement
“Meanwhile, a PPP member of the National Assembly, who didn’t want to speak on record, claimed that it was democracy that had brought this change”

“To criticize one’s country is to do it a service …. Criticism,
in short, is more than a right; it is an act of patriotism –
a higher form of patriotism, I believe, than the familiar rituals
and national adulation.”
— U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright

Like Malala there are so many girls getting killed especially in Karachi by Taliban and different groups everyday,why media does not care.and quiet about there news, also everyday poor Shia’s are getting killed, yesterday also husband and wife both Doctor’s got killed, why because they are Shia. Doctors are assets for the community and society and these people are killing them and other notable Shia’s and how come Media is blacking the news

With so much money up for grabs, most media is sold to one force or another. So, some appear to be masters instead of tools. The media of Pakistan (especially TV talk show hosts) is doing things it does for money.

I guess the question goes back to the all the media outlets , are they the 4th column of the nation or 5th column of the enemy? I have never seen such polarization as we see in Pakistani media including Dawn.The policies of Dawn are forcefully pushing the agenda of Extreme Liberal Fascism and completely ignored the very core of the nation.
As far as the army is concerned, they have made some mistakes , as they among us, however crucify the army leadership,do not provide any coverage via media outlet ports for the sacrifices which our soldiers are giving everyday for this paper to run ,to me is very close to act of treason and open injustice in the name of liberal garbage.
Media has to be responsible and act as supporting the nation not going against its interests and giving your enemies chance to hit on …as they have been doing for quite a while….

Very well said Sajid. Balance is the key essence for every organ of the state when they express themselves.

Only dictatorships declare the military to be off-limits for media comment. Someone needs to remind the author that Pakistan now has a democracy.
