agenda should not be promoted. media should share the news when its news
Are you really that naive or just attempting to brush aside a topic because it is your agenda not wanting to discuss it?
The press has always been used to push forward ideas, critically re-evaluate them etc. There is not a single press outlet in the world that does not have an ideological, political or religious and social angle to it. For you to consistently say in the above posts that this is a non issue and should be banned is a very childish notion. Just because you consider it a non issue, or the majority considers it to be, it does not make it so.
The Urdu press in Pakistan is regularly used by the religious right to promote their own agendas. I don't see you commenting on banning them. Why not ban them? Could it be because their agenda is something that you are not personally oppose to?
The freedom of the press to discuss social issues is what makes a civilized country civilized. The irrelevance and relevance of the merit of discussion is not something that me or you have the right to determine, if Dawn or the bogeyman liberals are pandering an agenda that will not have support amongst some people, then rest assured it will die its' own death.
Aamir Liaquat ironically also uses media to further his own agenda. If Aamir Liaquat has the right to his views, then Dawn News damn well has too. Otherwise, it's nothing but munafqat.
