Shameless Media
Saturday, July 15th, 2006Today ARY was showing live coverage of funeral ceremony of Allama Turabi who passed in a suicidal attack.ARY was also taking interviews from his family members about the incident. The reporter first reached to his youngest son who I think was not more than 12 or 13 years old was asked about his father’s death. The young kid first tried to control himself then he started weeping. What pathetic and inhumane I found that camera was still focusing him and guy kept asking him about death. Imagine a young kid who becomes fatherless within a minute and that media asshole keep questioning him for sake of channel viewer ship. No doubt we are going to be true capitalist state in near future.
This is not just with a single channel. In last year earthquake,Hamid Meer of GEO channel was in affected area and was taking interview.He with camera man reached to a home which was completely destroyed and people were screaming for help under the rubble . Instead of helping them out, Hamid Meer was saying like:
Aap dekh rahay hain k k malbay k neechay log dabay huway hain[pointing with finger to the region and camera focuses it] or Imdadi teamain yahan arahee hain.GEO aap ko taza tareen sorat-e-haal se waqif karta rahay ga
How cruel and shameless is our media, on top of that they feel proud of it.
