Re: Pakistan's Private TV channels should learn from CBS - How Dan Rather was fired
As I said, Pakistan must learn from the big nations if we want our country to become a respectable nation.
Stopping the spread of anarchy is not being "Only propaganda machinery", rather it is media's duty to make sure that enemies of state are properly recognized and eliminated.
It is the media that sets up the priorities, and instills the sense of responsibility among masses.
As a I said, this is "voluntary" because government sensors can never do intellectual work.
Unfortunately in Pakistan, our media tends to go out of control and that's clearly wrong.
It's not that easy as you think, a-obl.
There are many many factors to be considered, before we can jump to conclusio.
1.) Why is that Geo has It's HQ in Dubai and was allowed fully freedom, although Dubai is a monarch state. Sheikhs have everything under control there, besides GEO?! Coincident? I disagree.
2.) Who is responsible for GEO's birth? Think sharp.
3.) Why has there been nothing done against Masood in first place, before banning the whole channel?
4.) Why ARY? When 40% of adds where in Mushys favour?
5.) Who turned against them all of a sudden, that some unkown sources had to agree on shutting down these very free media objects.
I could list another 4-5 points. Non here could provide me with answers backed by facts and proof.
Point is, not just by Musharrafs threats this censorship has prevailed. There is more to It and we are at a loss.
