Buzdar factor

Journalism is seeing a new low thesedays. Mainstream media & analysts of all shades have been unable to reconcile with Usman Buzdar factor. Most frequently quoted reason of his disapproval is that none of the prominent journalists, anchors & analysts know him. And those politicians whom these media stalwarts know well keep getting in & out of power corridors. Most are affluent influentials of respective areas, hence they are 'polished', 'good hosts', 'friendly', 'accomplished in social graces', 'responsive to any job fatigue assigned by media people' & so on. In return, media people do all the twisting, turning & spinning to cover up for their buddies. Since they scratch each other's back hence there is a chemistry between them & Mr Buzdar fails to fit this setting. In fact, downplaying his selection is part of the deal. And if media people are firm to undermine the 'outlander' than its our responsibility to take them on.
Media is biggest bluff of our time. Anti establishment, pro establishment, anti Noon, pro PTI etc are all ways to sell their merchandise. They are just merchants. Ostensibly, there is polarisation among media houses but none of them talks against Malik Riaz. They will condition our perceptions with Bharia Town's Free Dastakhawan & other welfare projects but none would tell you how in the first place Bharia Town facilitators rip the poor off their lands. Because Bharia Town gives advertisement business & gratifications like no other.
There is no valid reason to doubt integrity of Buzdar selection decision. It is suggested that media people should find time & know Usman Buzdar. Till then leave him alone. If he performs, he stays otherwise he will be despatched back to electricity free zone of Tonsa Sharif. Performance should be the criterion of judging politicians not their crying on chairlifts, absence of electricity in their native area or being relatively unknown in mainstream media.
Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
