Islamabad: Pakistan’s Electronic media is undoubtedly the most futile medium of conveying messages or creating propagandas in the whole world as they see no difficulty in lashing out at others. For our electronic media persons especially the show anchors, a term ‘barking dogs’ is well-suited.
The best example about the futility of our media could be witnessed these days when few senior most media persons i.e. Najam Sethi , Talat Hussain and Mubashir Luqman carry on to lash out at each other.
First, they created sensation in the media by criticizing and character assassination of politicians, show biz celebrities, sports players and such others. But now they have started bullying against each others as they are not left away with the material to create sensation and increase their show’s TRP.
Talat Hussain who is considered as one of the most mature and responsible journalists in Pakistan began the quarrel in his show ‘News Night with Talat’ accusing Najam Sethi host of Aapas ki Baat Najam Sethi K Sath, that the word ‘Chirya’, used by Sethi for his source, was none other than Pakistani business giant Malik Riaz. He also alleged him of taking huge some of money from the US for the launching of his own channel.
In response, Najam Sethi said that Talat is a CIA agent working for Stratford, a spy agency working for CIA. He further said that Talat Hussain was speaking a lie about his association with Malik Riaz and he would send a legal notice to the anchor for his irresponsible allegation.
Najam Sethi also fires out at Luqman and said that earlier Luqman propagated a lie about him that he was a US national, which was totally a senseless allegation.
The fight is still on between the media monsters. Let’s see who wins the race in lashing out each others dignity and respect.
