Why are the vast majority of Pakistani political talk show anchors liberal/left leaning?

[R Wing]

Wrong question.

The right question should be: Why are most of Pakistani political talk show anchors are "vultures" and "opportunists" with no moral values at all.

They have nothing to do with liberalism.

Whichever way the foreign funds flow...

Well may Moeed Pirzada is different than them but others are in the same group particularly Muhammad Malik, he is definitely liberal/left type.



Yes I think you are right Moeed pirzada shouldn't be clubbed with them, I will take his name out of the examples.

Moeed Pirzada is a patriot unlike most of the secular liberal sellouts but he is still a "Liberal" and like most liberals some of his views regarding foreign policy, defence, India are retardish.

99% of the liberals on media are sellouts. Most of them take foreign funding or the media owners take the funding and anchors have to follow the line and most of the journalists are lifafas who also take money from certain parties to propagate their views.

I agree 100% btw.
There must be a conservative (non religious) right wing presence on media.

The only one who I can think of right now of such person on media is Haroon Rasheed but he is a political analyst and when he try to present himself as a defence/foreign affairs expert he sound like an idiot.

Not necessarily right wing but just like the PTV of 80s, all our famous national patriotic songs were made by PTV in 80s which are still famous to this day.

Examples

These are all part of my childhood memories from 80s PTV and I am sure they are still famous to this day. PTV of 80s used to give us a heavy dose of Patriotism through these melodious meaningful patriotic songs.

PTV also used to air quality Army dramas like Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Sunehray Din etc.

Kamran khan, Moeed Peerzada and Sidiq jan (on You Tube) are few good exceptions.
BTW I think we are coming out of this journalists turned opinion-makers' era.

If you watch Pakistani political talk shows regularly, one thing you will notice within a month that vast majority of them are liberal/left leaning, all famous anchors like Kashif abbasi, Muhammad Malik, Mehar Bukhari, Rauf Klasra, Amir Mateen, Najam Shetty, Muneeb Farooq, Fareeha Idrees, Asma Sherazi etc. (almost all of them).

Now I am not saying being liberal/left leaning is bad, I just want to draw the attention of the Pakistanis on this unique phenomenon in Pakistani media that almost 90% of the leading anchors in Pakistani talk shows tend to be from one segment of society in Pakistan. They are passively pushing their liberal/left views on the general public and there is no one in the TV media to counter their arguments. We don't have sensible conservative talk show anchors on Pakistani news channels. I think guys like "Oryan Maqbool Jan" cannot be considered to a voice of conservatives as he is more of a religiously motivated person and criticizes things like "patriotism" and "loyalty towards Pakistan only" which is the case with all the religious nutjobs.

I think we need to have more "non-religious" conservative voices on Pakistani TV talk shows particularly as anchors who are proud to be Pakistani patriots and loyal to Pakistan without any kind of guilt.

enemy nations of Pakistan have a pool of agents and most of anchors belong to that pool.
In some cases they don't even know who really is their master.

@Simurgh and some have the audacity to say that Pakistan was destroyed by rulers of 80's and their graves must be dug and their bodies must be trialed.

Pakistan was destroyed by the regimes who followed Gen. Zia due to his sudden death in air crash. If Gen. Zia would have been alive for another 5 years after 1988, I am more than 100% sure that he would have cleared all the mess created due to Afghan war in Pakistan. It is just that Gen. Zia and his appointed top echelon got wiped out in 1988 and then we started getting only incompetent incapable fools in the higher circles of power in Pakistan who couldn't handle the mess of Afghan war, it was just beyond their capability. These are people who just started putting all the blame on Zia for their own failures to do the job of clearing the mess left by Afghan war. All wars leave a mess after they finish, but the things some guys are just not up to mark to clear that mess than others.

I have seen the mess created immediately after Zia.... Zardari rate was fix 10% in every bill state pay to contractors. BB even encashed the money paid for F-16. For the first time in Pakistan's history corruption was considered as way of life. State secrets were sod out to enemy states, issues like Kashmir and Afghanistan were ignored, new sects. of Islam were introduced, MQM was hijacked.... list is long.
Those who killed Pakistan military's leadership are in echelons of power, dictating same army.

There are few such type of anchors like Sabir Shakir Arif hameed bhatti Arshad Sharif and a few others Shahid Masood is also in same category most of the others are jamhori anchors
ptv produced songs and dramas in 80s Because there wasn't any other channel in those days now ispr is producing patriotic songs
