Why I think Express Tribune Blogs are Controversial / Yellow Journalism

It is since a long time since I have been reading the express tribune blogs in their website,  luckily I have my own way of thinking and unlike many people I do not readily believe what I read or see, rather I research on it take a wide opinion from other sources as well then finalize my opinion. I have seen that most of the ETblogs are of liberal thinking and this happens very little when I see some blogs from some people with religious thinking.

I tried to answer some of the question raised by them in their facebook page but I am surprised to see that my difference of opinion was not respected despite my polite but true comments and I have been blocked forever from their facebook page from expression any further comments, however what I noticed in their website is that most of the time when I commented my comments done awaiting for approval while some other comments of other individuals which are been posted after me are published, while my comment is still waiting for moderation, and many times I can not see it posted. Doesn't it seems like they only want to show their readers the only side, while keep them blind from difference of opinions.

Yesterday I noticed another thing in their blogs which I am describing below:

When they talked about prostitution in their blog, they asked this question at the end of blog:

Have you witnessed street-side prostitution in your neighborhood?

But, when they talked about Ramadan and arab culture in one of their blogs, they asked the following question at the blog end:

Do you approve or disapprove of adopting the Arab pronunciation of 'Ramadan' over 'Ramazan'?

A question at the end of a writing will have a great impact on your thinking direction. So, when talking about the serious moral issue like prostitution despite they should make a poll Do you approve or disapprove, rather they asked the question at the end that you know such placed in your neighborhood or not, which is totally worthless. On the other hand when they talk about another topic which is related to religion (some aspects of the arab culture and religious practices), they are asking Do you approve or disapprove. For better understanding you can see both the blogs described above.

Fight For Right OR Freedom Movements, What's Realiy?

Liberation and freedom movements in Pakistan are no surprise as ethnical politics at some point result this! Political parties in Pakistan which are under the influence of sect, race, province, and ethnical background, fearfully they are able to make a freedom movement if they got power. We have many ethnical parties working in Pakistan, which originate as local political parties working for the rights of people of their ethnicity, later this political struggle converted into freedom movements? How? We have in front of us, Jiye Sindh Qaumi Mahaz, Baluchistan Liberation Organization, etc. These parties started their struggle for their rights which later on converted into freedom movements. Some argue that they are wrongfully lead, while some have the opinion that they are foreign funded.
Have the Pakistan army and Government took no lesson form the incident of Bangladesh (the fall of Dhaka), it was a part of Pakistan, where some issues had been exploited and taken to extreme. We have issues & discrepancies everywhere, despite of going towards the solution leaders took these issues to the point of no return, it has been allegedly said that the Bangladesh freedom movement was not only financially funded by India but also armed supported. They form a militia Mukti Bahni (Freedom Army) which was trained by the Indian forces. Later this issue was taken to the point when Shaikh Mujeeb Ur Rehman (publicized as Bangla Bundo), openly said that they want their right of freedom and will go to United Nations. This is a perfect example how a movement for basic rights Awami League transformed into movement of freedom, just because it's based on ethnical values.

Pakistan is financially weak, overall Pakistan, not a single province, almost 80% of the population of Pakistan under the line of poverty! In this scenario if we think that we are specifically or intentionally oppressed, then it's totally wrong. We all belong to any ethnicity, but we have to take our mind to the right direction. If you think you are oppressed (i.e. not getting education, not getting enough jobs or rights) then look at the people of other ethnicity, you can see, not only you or your ethnicity is being oppressed; the entire Pakistan is under poverty and financial crisis. So why make different ethnical groups and make false slogans of right, when the problem is national. You can form a combined group on the basis of Pakistanism and call for your right of education, job, shelter, food, etc. Make national movements for national issues!
What are the consequences of making sectarian groups? You will always be working for the rights of your ethnicity, and after being much depressed might transform it into liberation movement. Despite being constructive you will be going towards destruction. Pakistan is our country and we are here to live together under the umbrella of Islamic laws, this is the basis of two nation theory, Pakistan is founded to be a stronger nation. Don't forget the words of Indera Gandhi spoken after the fall of Dhaka that, "this day the two nation theory is drowned in the Bay of Bangal".
Mahajir Sooba Tehrik, Sooba Hazara Tehrik, Gilgit Baltistan Tehrik, you can find a number of parties working on the ethnical issues. They all have the capability to transform into freedom movements as the JSQM and BLO. Being a loyal Pakistani, the supporters of ethnical groups should watch closely intentions of their leaders and observe where they are heading them to. And get away from them as soon as they find them heading in wrong direction, people should know their power we make the leaders and we are able to demolish these idols. We have to end politics on the basis of ethnicity, or in the future we will be crying when each group will be striving for freedom, and then there will be nothing left to do.
Love Islam, Love Pakistan

Free-media, fruit of the poisonous tree!

In the present era, the media campaign against Pakistan to show only its negative points is at its peak, the positive face of Pakistan is crushed. But the regretting part is our own media is also following the footsteps of the international media.
A media is the country's face to the outside world; it is able to show bad or good face.
If we watch a Pakistani news channel for a minute you can see 80% news which is negative. Now compare with the international media, we can rarely see negative news about UK, USA or any other European country on BBC, CNN, etc. Are those countries without any negativity? Are they free of corruption and crimes? The answer is a big NO. No country is perfect and no country is free from corruption, crimes, wars, hate and tragedies. The only thing is how their media presents it!
Seems like the whole international media is in search of negative news and reports about Pakistan and as soon as they got news, even small, they project it as the headline. No wonder, media is biased and everyone knows that media is under strict control and monitoring, the slogans of Free Media are indeed fake. Ever wonder why some of the biggest ever conventions are not given that much publicity as some other conventions of the same strength. How a press conference on a non-issue matter covered more than 3 hours and a press conference on a burning issue is covered in a 10 second report at the end of the news.
The mistake is ours, we take media as Idol, and we think that we can not achieve our targets or can not get public if media do not cover us, but the fact is that, the most influential movements of the world gone successful without the media support. If we are heading a campaign or a movement, we should focus our heads towards our target and goal. We might have mistakenly thinking that our goal is to get more media coverage, despite that we should be working for our actual goal and target; the media will come behind us one day. Don't make media our need, we should realize that media need report and issues, if our issue is strong enough, then no need to beg and plead media for coverage, they will come behind us and cover!
Media should act responsibly & maturely, without biasing, show the truth, rather than mold the truth! It is the responsibility of the journalists, photographers and reporters to make the media go their way, rather than follow the rules set by the stakeholders of media. If media did not correct their direction, then the day is not far when people will turn away from fake TV media and turn towards other medias (social, etc) as time passes!
