Journalism ethics demand that for unbiased reporting Media shouldn't take benefits from the organizations they are covering in their reports. Otherwise, they need to write "Paid Programming" on top of their footage. However, Nawaz Sharif and Zardari, exploited the lack of any morality in our Media industry and took private media personnel on foreign visits on government expenses to get the news of their liking out in the press here, which the Media always presented as it's position.
Since PM IK has taken over, he has rightly stopped this practice. But our Media houses instead of putting their act together and sending their personals to cover the activities of the chief executive of their country, has now completely boycotted his foreign visits. So the only news we receive about his visits is through foreign media. This blatantly shows that our media doesn't care about giving an unbiased coverage to Chief Executive's activities and giving the people of Pakistan access to unbiased information.
We, as civil society need to step forward and expose our Media's hypocrisy. We need to stop buying the only shit that Media cooks and sells us. They need to start acting professional and spend money to generate quality content! We need to start demanding quality content or else BOYCOTT it!
