Pakistan Engllish Newspaper reflecting Common people mindset

[veekysingh]

Same in India. The english version will be more resonable but hindi version is for semi literates and illeterates. The choice of news items and programs will reflect the segment.

what kind of bs this is? you wanna say those who read hindi news paper are semi-literate? and from when illiterates started reading news paper? singing'' long live the queen'' too much huh?

Pro US ?

Pakistani state was with the US in CENTO, SEATO. It fought a joint Jehad in the 80s with the US, Now Pakistan is a major NON NATO ally - Quite a few Pakistani Generals were trained in US war colleges.

Tell this to a six year old, We already know that.

And you are worried about a newspaper being Pro -US?

You don't know this news paper is pro U.S to the level that it some times become anti Pakistan.

 

[Don Jaguar]

I hope they don't because common people want to wage a war on the west and idolize Osama bin laden and at the same time want to live in the west on welfare.

What?

Are you kidding me?

[Silverblaze]

so do you think Canadian Welfare system is the best?

Oh yes, but I do not blame the west for all blunders that are happening in Pakistan and plus I consider OBL a terrorist.

Note: I am not a hypocrite.

Any newspaper that highlights problems of Non muslims in Pakistan is not Pro-US. Go to urdu newspapers who are read by almost everywhere. After reading them you get an impression that Pakistan is going to declare war on the US.

 

[Vassnti]

That's enough FOX news for you young man.



Yes. The responsibility of anything Pakistani is to be pro-Pakistani and pro-Pakistani alone period. Don't care if its the Indians, Americans or Mother Teresa herself.

But what is being Pro-Paksitani, some times telling you things you dont want to hear is what is best for you in the long run, just mouthing US is bad India is our enemy China is the best thing since the invention of Basmati over and over again might not be for the best.

A mother that feeds a child nothing but sweets because thats what they ask for isnt a good mother.

Express tribune is traitor.

I am not talking about minority issues this news paper insults Pakistan in general.

You took the words right out of my mouth Bro Vassnti,

Well said...wish more people realised this

i would disagree here.The regional language newspapers be it hindi or any other language tend to be less jinoistic and are more reasonable than the english ones.Infact some of the local language newspapers were criticizing Goi as opportunist when it secretly hanged kasab.

English press in Pakistan represents a small minority of middle and rich class readers. You would never find a news about Pakistan's real issues on English media, they serve their audience with what they want to read..Pakistan's real issues are not one of them.

That seems to be an extreme generalization of a sizable chunk of pakistani populace. All pakistani members on this forum who reside in pakistan seem to represent a subset of this english press as they seem well versed in the language. Your comment almost accuses all of them to be oblivious of pakistans real issue, which they are not.

Loads of Pakistani members here are expats, the real readers who buy the newspapers of the street are what i just described.

Exactly so. Everything that relates to and results in Pakistan's betterment is pro-Pakistani. Pointing out the flaws more important than anything else. Mindless anti-X or anti-Y blabbering never. The agenda needs to be pro-Pakistani, statements and actions are not easy to define as such. They are situational and positional. An action in one given situation will be for the benefit while the same action in another situation would wreak havoc. This is what needs to be understood. We pretend to be object when all we know is how to ride the ends of the spectrum. We're either die hard fans of the military or we're the loudest critics, we either like to believe that everything is peachy and rosy in Pakistan or we claim that its fire everywhere. I see no difference between them. These days its the "in" thing to criticize everything and anything Pakistani. What we morons fail to realize is that we ourselves are the problem.

An overbearing father, critical and cynical of everything the child does, unimpressed of his every achievement, disappointed when it is not warranted is just as bad, if not more.
