Well, it doesn't actually reflects my point of view about the incident itself but tried to coverup different news broke in last few days. Benazir denies involvement of Talibans, govt insists Clickety

Thanks Zainub, yes, I think I also misread your scentence.
Sad events impacts more than one thinks they would, I think it made me too judgmental.

Hi then mohensali, thanks for your comment. That’s exactly what I meant to point out too, in fact I agree with you, and I’ve said it elsewhere as well; the Pakistani broadcast media in the excitement of bring breaking news as it happens and transferring as much information as possible, do forget to keep track of several of such basic journalistic ethics. Perhaps I didn’t phrase my self correctly. I’ll rephrase.

Zainub please I think you have mistook my words when you noted “At Stranger’s Words ‘mohsenali’ notes amongst other things the “mistakes” made by the Pakistani media in the reporting of the incident ”
I was not saying its ‘mistake’ to relay the news of the incdent. I am saying it makes iit more impacting. The only mistake of media I noted was that first the media person on the Aaj Tv was not good enough to handle the situation, ask right questions, etc…
And the second thing was Geo did not gave name of Tv channel from which the Camera Man was. This is a wrong attitude I think when one is telling name of the deceased perosn then one should mention the organization it worked with.
Thirdly I was of view that before even naming the camera man they should have first contacted the family of the person. Its very hard to get news about your beloved through news channel.

its high time that we are allowing these self appointed jihadis to make our lives their ticket to heaven(fools heaven). we all know that 90% of madrasas teaches secterian and other kind of hatred against the normal people.

Pakistan’s forign policy might be new(post 9/11) but their violence is old. Their teachings tell em violence n hatred, and if any sane soul revolt agaisnt their madeup form of ISLAM, that peson is not only a KAFIR, MURTID but his death can also be the ticket to their heaven (doggys hell)
