Siege on a private Newspaper cum Newschannel group offices

I don't know when our people will start acting accordingly and consciously. I don't wanna be biased, but blaming both, no doubt I am a firm believer of freedom of speech but with it self-respect and privacy of other person too matters, BUT on the other hand our media is constantly found wobbling and making issues non issues and vice versa.

Taking example of renaming of N.W.F.P. a.k.a North West Frontier Province, it was media hype that generated so much interest and TV ratings into this news, else was that the main issue? Was this issue to be so highlighted, on sake of a controversial name (it has been a controversial name which depicts many controversies into it)? Was the renaming of name changed economical conditions of the people living in Peshawar and surrounding areas? I DO admit identity do matters and for the sake of regaining an identity, even Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his group of leaders got us Pakistan, but he did that because the lifestyle and living of Muslims in United India were at stake and always in the mercy of radical Hindus, which were the reasons behind making of Pakistan. Were the same reasons behind renaming of N.W.F.P. into a controversial name of Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa? Did the socio-economic conditions of people living in that province improved just with the mere renaming of the province's name? The answer is no! Its just cosmetic decision nothing else! first they should have improved the living standard of people and than go for these cosmetic things, and for making this a National Issue (not even a main issue) I blame on media for this happening and for the approval of 18th amendment! although some points in that amendment are good but some are not.

Similarly, yesterday just before I was going to sleep @ 11.30 PM approximate, I tuned into TV and watched the news of siege on a private TV channel cum newspaper group office, and they were constantly wobbling as if WW-III has started. Government not taking action this and that blah blah blah. Ok I again admit there was responsibility of government as well, but what this media group did after 10 hours, if they had started the negotiations with the protesters, things might have cooled down pretty earlier. We all know how much literacy rate our country possesses and even that rate which our government again wobbles for the literacy rate include those people who can just read and write in their native language and read newspapers, how shameful, just think how can we face the outer-developed world when such is the criteria of minimum literate person in my country, so such people need to be consolidated and made them understand slowly and steadily, they might have taken something against their interests that's why they would be in protest, but this media group instead of showing some signs of literacy and sensibility, they were aggressive and firing the cannons again and again saying we're limited in the office jurisdictions etc. what the hell. After 10 hours when they conveyed the message to SNP leaders, didn't they end their protest? So how can they say this kind a rubbish thing and claim that they were helpless and needed government help? Although government should have helped it.

But was that a breaking news? Was that such news to be in headlines? Was that to be hyped so much? I know and feel that who ever having some sense of literacy and mature understanding would answer no!

Like a British journalist mentioned that Pakistani media is exciting and un-mature and needs time to be settled! Till than bear this so called Pakistani media who likes to show everything without understanding the importance of country's interest.

Was the same media group acted sensibly when Ajmal Kasab (the accused person post Mumbai Attacks 26/11) disclosing the news well-before as if he's really a resident of Faridkot in Pakistan! and later Indian media used that in their favour and still Pakistan is being exploited due to the government across the border, whom to blame for? Nada!

Its just like in a card game you have aces, queens, kings and jacks at your side but instead of waiting for a particular time to disclose them, in excitement you disclose them too early and later pay the price. Similarly our media acts at times. What more I can say, even you've to wait for sometime before you can enjoy a plate of biryani, so why being so much excited in breaking the news without knowing its consequences? Thats what I wanna ask from these media personnel? Are we (the viewership) spoiled child so that the media acting that way?
