I got this "chain" e-mail in my in-box today. What do you guys think about this?
For how long we would be sitting silently and watching our beloved country being shamelessly exploited by vested interests. This politics of agitation and confrontation has led to millions of Pakistanis sleepless nights. We want peace and reconciliation and see Pakistan to continue on path of progress and economic prosperity. We want to see our country a forward looking Pakistan. Difference of opinion does exist even in most advanced countries of the world. People voice their dissenting notes, media shows them also. People in those countries behave maturely and Media also behaves maturely.
In Pakistan , everybody voices free media no one talks about responsible media. Because owners of the media organizations do not want to responsible media. They have become power brokers. Jang Group of Newspapers and Geo TV are spearheading this thought. Country is having a loss of millions of dollars every day because of irresponsible reporting by Jang Group and Geo TV. There are millions of Pakistanis who are perturbed over this situation. Issues like Lawyers movement and Confrontational politics are being reported out of proportion with a partisan view.
STOP GIVING ADVERTISEMENTS TO JANG GROUP OF NEWSPAPERS AND GEO TV FOR ONE WEEK. LET MIR SHAKILUR REHMAN FEEL WHAT SILENT MAJORITY IN PAKISTAN FEELS.
Media should be uncensored and should do what they want. Yes, you can say they are irresponsible, but in the end they're journalist and want to sell news.
So, you think is media will report everything honestly if given 100% freedom to write what they feel like writing?
Its absurd that media can be responsible for the current situation of the country. When there was just PTV our country was not doing much different then what it is now.
