Nobody is arguing against journalists reporting news. Problem starts when these people try to portray their opinions as news. His show Capital Talk is example of that. Inviting idiots and dishing out pro terrorist propaganda is not good for the country.
BTW, just watching GEO...they make it sound like as if country is on fire from end to end, and re-enforcing the image that Pakistan is about ot fall apart or terrorists are about to take over the country. Do you think that helps in attracting foreign investment, stock market or strengthening rupee?
Shamraz, hate to break it to you bro, but thats how the whole country feels right now. There is very little sympathy for the Armed forces, because of their 'allies'. We all know that in the end, its the poor people who are dying. Musharraf played this two faced game and wasnt sincere to anyone, and now it seems like Zard-Ari is continuing to do the same thing. Hamid Mir is absolutely spot on, unlike us, he has been to these places, interacted with civilians, and is reporting how they feel.
We can stop dreaming about attracting foreign investment because its getting absurd and we'll be putting them in harms way, and instead we should try to fix this problem which we create ourselves, and investigative journalism will help. This issue was suppressed back in Swat when Shaukat Aziz was meddling with the CJ issue, and the reason was that it wasnt given much importance in the media back then
