Re: Musharaf’s days numbered?
Well, until Musharraf came to power in 1999, nothing bad of government corruption use to come on media about corruption done by bureaucracy, judiciary, enforcement agencies, politicians in power or army. All this media coverage of corruption or malpractices is new phenomenon in Pakistan, curtsey of President Musharraf, where media can say anything and even Minister comes on media to apologise if anything wrong happens. In past, saying anything bad about government means newspaper could get ban or journalist loosing their job.
Hamid Mir lost his newspaper job as editor when he publish story of Zardari corruption and stayed unemployed for couple of years. Then he found job and printed a story of Nawaz corruption, the result was same, loosing his job as editor.
Read his story and you will know what use to happen in media before Musharraf came to power.
Hamid Mir - Wikipedia
Mir joined the Daily Jang (Lahore) in 1987 and worked there as sub-editor, reporter, feature writer and edition in charge. In 1994, he broke the submarines purchase scandal in Daily Jang. Some close friends of Asif Zardari (husband of then Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto) were involved in that scandal, along with some Navy officials. Mir lost his job the day his article was published.
In 1996, Mir became the editor of the Daily Pakistan in Islamabad, making him the youngest editor of any national Urdu newspaper in the history of Pakistani journalism. He lost his job again in 1997, when he wrote an article in the Daily Pakistan about the alleged corruption of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Also in 1997, he joined Daily Ausaf (Islamabad) as founding editor.
Today Mir is dancing with news all the way he likes, and no one bothers him, neither he loose job as before. Well, it is not only Mir but all in media are dancing like devil unrestrained and without worry of loosing their job.
