Govt spokespersons versus media anchors


No love lost for Media and the Govt incumbent. However, loving the current match between the both. Finally, our 'mainstream', prime time anchors cum leeches (except few) have found their match in Fawad Chaudry, Shahbaz Gill and types. Expose of 'leading manipulators' was overdue and the time was never ripe for their bashing when next General Elections are around the corner. So far, Govt badmouthts are wining over slander brigade of media.
Have been watching 'On The Front' with Kamran Shahid for years just to get a feel of how extremist liberals are playing their game. Secondly, how channels adroitly support their mentors. In case of Duniya News, it is a puppy of Shahbaz, Nawaz and Maryam, in the sequence in which these names are written in this line. And last night's (30 September) episode of On The Front was like chicken coming home to the roost when Shahbaz Gill roasted Kamran Shahid and gave him the taste if his own medicine. Despite him teaming up with Azhar Javed(Duniya News' International Corrspendent) and Uzma Bokhari (PML (N)), Shahbaz Gill prevailed. No wonder journalism is at its lowest when people  like Azhar Javed (a paid presstitute of Sharif Family) made it to this position who is no more than lowlife street journalist. And teacher turned journalist whose only qualification is that his filmstar father Shahid had connections. Interestingly, these connections are with nach gana party who in turn are linked with media and  politicians. And Uzma Bokhari who kept switching hats from abusing Nawaz Sharif to defending him. Not to mention her father's great contribution to this nation when he fought the case of Raymond Davis and helped him achieve clean break.
But we have short memories as nation.Every evening, our middle and old age generations tune in to the talk shows and form opinions based on what these spinmeisters of media wish to sell. Resultantly, forming mixed, confused and polarised opinions notwithstanding serious consequences on our national interests. More so, getting trapped by spoof media and living a lie they wish us to live.
Bottom line, we should neither be dependent on govt mouthpieces, political embouchure and media salesmen/women. We shall be able to cut through the deceptive mazes of narratives serving vested interests of politicians and media.
