Re: cyclone in karachi - terrible natural calamity
so what are you pointing out?
btw the cyclone was covered by many other places they had been tracking 03B for days.
I dont go on national TV and claim something that is not true. I am not a journalist who claims to bring ‘truth’ to the masses.
my affiliated publication? I dont have any affiliated publications, unless someone died somewhere and left me a publishing empire.
search under tropical storm 03B. everyone from NASA to weather channel to european authorities were covering it.
He (the moron shahif masood) did not know what the hell he was talking about, as I have stated already, the tropical storm 03b had ben covered for days and all sorts of reports where there on what the path is, what can happen etc etc.
Just because you did not see any other meterologist in the world cover it does not mean it was not covered.
yes, but with all due respect, who cares what you, or I think. But whe someone is going to get in frot of TV cameras and claims to be a journalist and either does a piss poor job of researcing the topic at hand, or distorts the truth to attack the govt, then that is intellectual and journalistic dishonesty or lack of aptitude.
As I have stated several times already, there were plenty of groups covering the tropical storm and its patha nd possibilities of how dangerous it can be.
as far as karachi people go, most of my nanhiyal is in Karachi, and so are my parents and everyone was watching news..one word…generators. the excuse that oh they had no power so no matter what he says does not impact anyone is ridiculous at best.
the day Pakistan govt announces that they have the ability to control the weather and can make cyclones hit somewhere would be a day I will send mithai to everyone. earthquake warnigs were also a hidden agenda in your view? like the govt or hate the govt, but when teh govt says ..guys we have a cyclone headed our way…and some two bit thug like shahid masood gets on Tv and conjures up a conspiracy theory..conveniently ignoring everything that global watch groups are saying..there is a problem.
so lets summarize the facts
1)there was plenty of reporting on the tropical storm and the it may hit Pakistan before shahid masood opened his mouth
2)when he concocted his conspiracy theory,
2a)either he did not know all the reporting that was being sone on it, which makes him incompetent as a journalist as he did not have his facts right,
or
2b)he knew everything that was eing reported but conveniently ignored it to score a cheap point which makes him a crook
