(MUNTAHA AZHAR, lahore)
Our only source of international news is from the BBC,CNN and the cartoon channel fox news , which are more of a cover story then the news.There are more then 25 news channels which broadcast news 24/7 all year round and never bothers to just peek a little into the international news.okay ,maybe there are some international news like when the news caster says"now we will go to our next segment the international news"and then you are too much involved in the segment that you forget to realize that it was an "entertainment news" from around the world not 'the international news' , I remember Alazeera t.v just vanishing into air after the u.s attack in Abbottabad and after that we had no news channel to be informed of the revolutions of Egypt,Lybia and other countries. what was our government afraid of?were they afraid of similar situation in Pakistan?well if yes then they should have to their democracy and its originality.if they were not afraid .then why to keep us IGNORANT. When the massacre of Muslims all over the world is on its height we sit in our homes seeing the cockfight of our politicians .Comparing the governance of different government .We are corned and isolated from the world .Pakistan does not plays any part in the international policies.We have a right to knowledge. When in Africa Muslims are massacred and their meat is then eaten by their killers, we need to feel for them ,but only if we know what is happening their .We are not selfish ,blind or dumb ,maybe we are just in a cage and we don't know that we are in a cage .we need to address the question that is our media really free?because it is not.We are living a life of deception.
