The Living Dead! -by Asad Ejaz
Who recalls that the dead cannot be turned alive? It swiftly
happens with
Pakistani media in charge. Local media houses have resorted to
making a
mockery of investigative journalism which meekly calls for a slight
hassle of
travelling, reaching out to stories and unveiling the true nature
of them but
unfortunately enough, with the kind of queer rat-race our media
houses
have leaped into, is it worth making all the futile effort? Well
not in case
where eulogy is meted out to those who report ‘first’ rather than
to ones
who report ‘authentic’-Perfect Practice, isn’t it? Huh!
Preposterous………
The same ‘news-break-first’ culture took us to Kohistan last month,
and
would take us ‘better’ destinations, if practices such as this,
don’t really pull
off an end in sight.
5 innocent girls were reported to have been lynched by the dagger
of some

makes it real savoury! Eh! A group of protestants take to the
streets of
Egypt—their placards read “Hillary, we are not Pakistan”—not
related?
Well! if this not related, nothing is, this recounts the altitude
our national
image has plummeted down to, amidst such stability crises, false
media
hype such as this, would come down as a tremble to a rubble. And
this is
what it came down like –Phew! News of the world, Uk’s largest
selling
newspaper closed down on charges of ‘corruption’ and on suspicion
of
‘conspiring to intercept communications’. The chief operating
officer
Murdoch stated that the paper was “in the business of holding
others to
account, it failed when it came to itself.”
Corruption and conspiring to intercept communications, Aren’t these
two
‘scruples’ rehearsed by our very own vibrant media every single
hour in
Pakistan? Deploying bugs, intruding personal meetings, hacking
telephone
calls, so on and so forth. But who solicits self-
accountability-who chooses
to step down–None! More television channels than the number of
centuries
Sachin Tendulkar has registered and one feeble PEMRA, unjust—isn’t
it
pouring more water than the poor flask can hold? Or was it
Kohistan, girls
killed for dancing, don’t bother going, ought to be a true thing,
right? Cross
with Mr. Riaz buying villas to our celebrated heroes who frame
public
opinion everyday, 8-10ish, cross with our revered Luqman-Bukhari
duo
inter-mingling in ear-splitting voices off-screen, cross with Aamir
liaquat
denying his ‘local’, street-befitting linguistic skills caught on
national
television, cross with Maya khan evolving as the ‘only’ saviour of
the
‘degenerated’ youth of Pakistan, cross with, ad infinitum.
It is certainly about time that the screws are tightened–So that
the media
sensitizes to issues of national integrity and learns its own
lesson-the
lesson of ethics, the lesson of responsibility, that it has
boastfully tutored for
at least the stretch of a decade, and it is certainly about time
that ‘selective
accountability’ is put to a screeching halt and media houses are
made
answerable for ill-reporting and misinformation that spreads like
wildfire.
