The thing that really dissapoints me is pakistani MEDIA, its really getting out of control. I really think there should be some rules over them aswell, a TOTAL FREEDOM is never good.

Take an example from 4 days ago when there was a clash between Judges and lawyers. The media isnt showing how the lawyers attacked the judges and the police first, they show how the police is beating on them. I mean comeon, if anyone of you guys saw that news, you could clearly tell the media personal were faking it.:)

Well they were faking rather they were taking advantage of it or to say showing one side more than other.
On other hand who told police to beat mediapersons?
They never attack the police, politicians or even those who are protesting so utmost care should have been taken in this regard.

All including Judiciary, Police, Politicians need Media to project them so they should not mess with their image maker.

No I don't think Media freedom should be curved. It is always possible the media will be used for propaganda purposes, but that's a right of the media as well.

but some guidelines would maybe improve the sitation..?

Well they can't obviously LIE, but if they choose to report one thing and ignore the other, its someone else's job to expose their propaganda.

Once exposed their viewer ship itself would dwindle. Media wars are things you HAVE to fight.

Of course there needs to be some editorial oversight over the sorts of rubbish Ansar Abbasi publishes in no less than the "Top Stories" section of "The News".

Stuff like this nonsense:

Angel hints at night scoops

By By Ansar Abbasi

ISLAMABAD: Angels are really upset these days. One never thought that they get disturbed or become cheerful like the human beings. But those known to this correspondent are behaving strangely and show the feelings that are more known for man.

The angels, who had developed intimacy with this correspondent during the recent months, have been missing for quite some time. On Sunday one of them had a surprise meeting with this correspondent. He was extremely upset for what he saw and heard during the recent weeks in Islamabad. His access to all that has been happening in the federal capital during the last few weeks was phenomenal.

“You journalists make tall claims but know too little of what is happening around,” he said, adding that the media had missed some covert dinners and meetings, which if covered would have been journalistic scoops. And if reported, the angel said, certain things would have been different from what we have today.

The angel was not talking straight but was more interested in communicating between the lines. When asked why, he said that he could not afford annoying those attending the covert meetings and dinners.

The angel, however, said, “The honeymoon is over for you people.” When asked to explain, he shared the tales of certain “who(s)” visiting and meeting top Presidential aides and even having dinners with them during the recent weeks.

The angel said that though those meeting and dining were in good mood and were happy too, it had saddened him because the business they were discussing was not such that they could do it in public. “Their very meeting was nothing less than a shock for me,” the angel said.

When asked why does not he provide this correspondent some “concrete” evidence of such covert interactions, the angel said that he cannot do this. He did not feel obliged to give any reason for this but suggested that the media owners should better hire paparazzi to expose the powerful and mighty of this country.

He suggested that the night movement of the important ones should be monitored and recorded on video. Just notice who goes where and at what time.

“If you have missed the past scoops, do something immediately to grab the coming ones because the next few weeks are also too important,” the angel said, adding that the private television channels must get their cameras secretly installed in the right positions. Be alert and vigilant or more desperation is waiting for you, he cautioned and disappeared.
Angel hints at night scoops

He is basically saying that "unknown sources are saying that unknown people are meeting unknown people, and if we knew what was going on, we would be shocked"

How shocking! This shouldn't make it onto the oped pages, let alone the "Top Stories".
