Re: Independent TV channels in Pakistan taken off air
This report exactly represents what media is doing: suggestive reporting. The purpose of the media is to present facts to the public and let them decide the rest. Our media is not doing this; on the contrary, media is distorting facts in to fiction and presenting a picture which is far from truth.
** In our country, if one person sees black as white, he assumes that everyone sees black as white and those who do not see black as white are not worthy of being heard.** Freedom of expression and media does not mean that you impose your thoughts on others.
Brother, you are so right. One of the biggest problems in Pakistan amongst Pakistanis is that, they do not want to listen, tolerate, respect other people opinion, or exchange opinions.
Two Pakistani might have different opinion, like TV is mechanical device or electrical device and then they would fight with each other on this issue, they would even kill each other unless other agrees what they believe. One that believes TV is mechanical device would listen nothing but would like other to believe that TV is mechanical device. Same way, the one that believes that TV is electrical device would listen nothing but would like other to believe that TV is electrical device. There believe would be their Emaan, their faith, their honour. Their opinion is their religion. They would never listen … though both may be wrong as in this case, because TV is neither mechanical device nor strictly electrical device, but it is electronics device :).
