Re: Media war against Pakistan - Our responsibility??
I have been going through the media and different forums, observing behaviour of Indian and Pakistanies in it.
On the Web Forums we can assume that no body knows who is sitting on the other end, the capabilities of the poster, the mode swing, so i haven't taken the comments on the web seriously.
On the other hand, my assumptions were, to be a TV anchor/News Reporter/ Analyst one need to have years of education and experince in the same field, then only one can bring the credibility in him/herself, thus taking that credibility to the news channels.
The ideal role of these channesl should be providing the first-hand news to its viewers and then analyzing the facts provided by the govt/ officials and ground realities, to my understanding this is how a news channels builds its credibility ( which is ofcourse based on the human capital).
Sadly, the media now a days is totally profit oriented, they try to sell what they think is sellable, the truth is not the commodity which is more often spoken on the TV.
Recent targedy in Mumbai and the role played by the indian media is prime example of this, all the news channels i watched, were blamming Pakistan right from the beginning, never seems to be bothered with the tension they might create. To my knowledege/observation this is some thing called Ir-responsible behaviour.
Yesterday, a former FBI agent running his own securtiy agency was on CNNi, commenting on the crisis and when comes to prove, he said, yet no proves has been produced and they are just allegations, samething is been said by someone at BBC.
The role of these media anchors should not be to create a state of confusion, where no body knows what happened and every one speaks it own.. None of the news channel can come-up with any hard evidence, nor does they were able to show anything remotely linked with Pakistan.
yes they repeated that Pakistan is involved and then they fabricated the story the way they wanted, and it will continue for another week or so.
Indians troops did a nice job by clearing mess up and media on the other hand had already laid a foundation of another MUMBAI Attacks.
