Media Aur Hum (must read)

[k.a.kiani]

My humble request is to those who are concious, sincere and believe on one of the most important blessing of Allah, which is called brain.

I felt these days media is capturing us and trying to force us to think what they want us to think. I don't say everything presented in media is wrong. But every program contains three elements, which are as follows:

• Facts
• unbiased analysis (depend on the anchor)
• sensationalism
• anchor/program/channels's personal agenda or relation with some political party establishment etc.
• commercialism ( things, which are just included in their program or news to make public happy apart from this that they are facts or not and without realizing, what would be reaction of the people. sometime it leaves very dangerous and harmful affect on the people thinking. but they have no concern of this they just want to sell)

Now different program will have different proportion of these elements. So we, as being sensible viewers and listeners, should be able to differentiate between these elements and should be smart enough to understand the tone, wording, body language, credibility of program/channel/anchor and pannelists without getting emotional and getting impressed by someone.

If you think you are not capable of this then please don't listen any of them at all. because they will pollute your mind with wrong thoughts and nothing else.

I agree with the analysis made by the learned member of this Forum but not with the conclusion made by the member. I think everybody should watch various channels and think about the ideas and thoughts being conveyed or intend to be conveyed by these channels and anchors and then with the passage of time everybody will be sharp enough to understand the intent of these channels and anchors. I think if you afraid of electric shocks and will not electrify your home so you will be in dark for ever.
