Codifying the ethics of this bizarre media | Who will bell the cat ?
Codifying the ethics of this bizarre media | Who will bell the cat ?
By Engr. Hadeed SherConsider a scenario where there are two enemies who are at war against each other. Enemy A has a well equipped force but is at the losing end while enemy B has the upper hand without having a well established chain of command. Enemy B, however, has an edge that all the tactical details of enemy A are leaked through its own media that helps enemy B to prepare accordingly.
Now, look at this scenario in perspective with Pakistan's war against terrorism. Imagine what TALIBAN and Pakistan are up to. Pakistan, the first Nuclear power of the "Islamic world" and the country that has the sixth largest army in the world, is paralyzed in the war against some roughly 15000 TALIBANS. Perhaps one of the reasons is the irresponsible behavior of our national media . As discussed earlier in my blog that Pakistani media managers are so insane that they are knowingly/unknowingly helping the terrorists. This blog post, although a sequel of the earlier blog on terrorism, but here we unveil some other negative dimensions of Pakistani media that show how amateurish and childish is their behavior when it comes to terrorism and the topics of general interest.
In the previous blog it was also stated that spreading sensitive information comes under STUPIDITY , if someone think it is an investigation journalism. Informing the terrorists about the security measures of high profile personalities, telling the world like "Hay did you know you need jamming devices to dismiss the functionality of wireless system" or love letter to the terrorists with the text "You have to be prepared to cross the Trunches in Sukkar and Hyderabad Jails" ? If anyone wants to attack on Karachi Jail make it sure the process of 6 feet wide concrete block is about to be finished. Come on you crackpots, you single minded bunch of idiots. What the hell is wrong with you ? Can't you survive without sabotaging the security plans of a fractured law enforcement agency of Pakistan ? Is it that necessary !! The rat race for ratings and spreading the thrill for their own monitory benefits is indeed regretful.

The SIKANDAR saga in Islamabad unfolded the new scarface of our media when it was proved that how our media can play with a dangerous situation. The lunatic Sikandar was posed as a person who hostage the whole Pakistan with his wife and 2 kids. According to the report published on this blog, media was mad breaking news about Sikandar including the information of his peeing besides the road. Later on when the issue was dropscened the media rushed to hospitals and telecasted this bawdy news (screen print given below).

The prominent TV anchor Nasim Zahra tweeted about the amateurish behavior of media in her tweet, however her responsibility being the director current affairs DUNYA TV was limited to twitter only. Neither she stopped DUNYA TV from playing this dirty game nor she resigned from Dunya TV on this irresponsible attitude. It is twitter where all the responsibilities are accomplished.
As I stated earlier that this media is actually a non stop nonsense bullshit in our society. Here the level of stupidity and the level of non seriousness increases with the increase in popularity. The newscasters and the producer feels no shame in making an ordinary person's issue a BREAKING NEWS. See this below mentioned appalling tweet that was also telecast across the globe via the Geo news network as a BREAKING NEWS, rather BARKING NEWS to be more precise.All channels must immediately STOP coverage of this crazy situation @DunyaNetworkPK @CapitalTV_News @geonews_urdu @ExpressNewsPK @SAMATV— Nasim Zehra (@NasimZehra) August 15, 2013

The news channels fell so proud in spreading wrong information. Consider this information in which a pre typed text was posted even before the ball was thrown, later it was revealed that the batsmen failed to get a boundary. The same TV channel shamelessly without apologizing tweeted the normal news.........میں نےسلامی دی تونوٹ تھامتےہوئےدلہاکےہاتھ کانپ گئے،دلہن کی ماں کابیان— Geo News Urdu (@geonews_urdu) August 30, 2013
