I'm coining a new term in Pakistani Politics today. Media Mafia and thats exactly what it is, not all but currently the majority is, a mafia that extorts money from people, organizations, businesses and in this case even governments, and if they fail to pay up, they will be dragged through the mud in the media. Also like a Mafia they protect and project anyone who pays it. Best analysis on this situation was done in Saddique Jaans video today. I know its already been posted but I will link it at the end of my post anyways.
Pakistan media till date has done nothing positive for the nation . Not run any public awareness campaigns not highlighted enough any good steps taken by any government because only sensationalism sells. It just spreads negativity, doom and gloom. Currently yes there is inflation, petrol prices are high but petrol was even higher at one stage in PMLNs govt, inflation was also at a higher rate. World didn't end in of 2013 and 2014, but but if you listen the media seems like it has.
Media fails to tells us, current govt has cut taxes on petrol from 52% in PMLN govt to 23%. And even then Pakistan has cheaper petrol than its neighbour India. And many many many such things are either not said or merely mentioned in passing.
And now this Govt has dared to end the Media Mafia gravy train, just like the mafia it is now targeting its biggest enemy, just like a don targets a new district attorney or honest police IG who dares to take down the mafia.
