For last few days I have been feeling that Noon Leagues Propaganda machine is working. Mostly because our media is in their favor. Here I am talking about the new bulletins and print media, most of the talk shows still follow some balance but news selection and news distortion is what bother's me most.
Here are a few profs:
1) Some channels never showed Waziristan march as first headline and showed it as second or third news. Major news that day was Abdur Razaq bashing his captain. Is that more important than the peace march that the whole World was following.
2) Bakery case never become too big news bulletins and in newspapers till PM's son-in-law got arrested and then the news was inclined to favor N-League. These bulletins changed the whole course of the debate.
3) Today's news that "number of people singing national anthem broke a record" got same coverage as Waziristan March it seems. Though everyone knows that its a show off.
4) A special place newspaper is given to Shahbaz Sharif's daily news and picture.
I have been following this forum for so long but never found the need to write much. But now I feel that social media is a medium to keep a check on electronic as well as paper medium. I think instead of bashing talk show presenters we should raise our voice against this fabricated news reporting. This is more dangerous because it makes opinions of everyone including the talk show hosts. Look at how most of the hosts praised that PM's son-in-law got arrested. That includes some anti PMLN hosts. That is because news bulletins and newspapers portrayed it as a very big achievement.
