Re: Pakistani Journalists - a joke!
I was watching the press conference of interior ministry spokesman and there were journalists asking all sort of stupid questions. The guy got some patience! You have to give this to him.
Listening to that conference you start wondering where have these Jahils graduated? No discipline, no common sense, no self confidence, cant even speak their own language Urdu!
You get the feeling they are asking questions just for the sake of it. Not interested in answers. Here is one example:
Journalist 1 in Urdu: Agar aapko pata tha kay itnay nuksanat ho saktay haiN to Day 1 say hi military ko deploy kiu nahi kiya gya nuksanaat ko roknay kay liye ? Spokesman: There is a standard procedure, first of all police is deployed then rangers and then ...].
5 minutes later another journalist:
Journalist 2: Jab aapko pata hay kay is waqat loguN kay jazbaat military kay kuch khilaaf ho saktay haiN to phir aap nay military ko kiu deploy kiya gya hay?
Spokesman: Blinks in disbelief.
And I was like .. **** *** **** !
Seriously guys, don't you think media needs an overhaul?
That is why PEMRA was perfectly justified in putting a code of conduct in place for controlling such crap from Pakistani journalists. These people only pour oil on the fire, have stirred up controversy and encouraged hatred of the authorities by the irresponsible reporting. Some of them should be thrown in jail!
