Implausible Theories

These days it's a new fad to talk about implausible theories, predict the unusual, show off the wisdom and understanding of current affairs. So here in this post i would also present the same old things you hear in your daily life:


1. Media e.g Geo TV, has a tendency to become an invincible mafia in order to badly influence the lives of common people - the public; sympathetically know as Mazloom Awam. Their reporting techniques have created an addiction which compels people to stick to this channel. Mostly they talk rubbish and try to waste time in reports e.g:


Reporter: Ji main is waqt Islamabad -- (realizes mistake and starts again): Islami Jamhoria Pakistan kay Darul-Hakomat Islamabad main Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Kay Ghar Kay Bahir Judges Colony main sarak per mojod hoon.


Hamari Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudh ry say Baat nahi ho saki, Lakin zara'ey ka kahna hay kah Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry ab kisi say mulaqat nahi kar ray hain.


Khalid in Studio: Acha batain kah Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry nay mulakatain kiyon tarQ keen? Notice the Qaaf in their accent.


Reporter: Kiyon k Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry blah blah


And they spend at-least five to ten minutes in this drama. And majority of their reports are same sort of crap with little or no useful information.


2. In a country like Pakistan, where the establishment of governments and appointments on higher ranks in army is done on the directives of USA, do you believe that media is Independent and is not under their influence?


3. In the past, USA used to influence governments alone, but today they have a control over media as well to distract the public, change their beliefs and hence in return more instability in society. They create an environment, a hype, a frenzy through electronic media and emotionally involve the public in it.


4. Sometimes, media overpowers government and they call it Independence and Rule of Media. Again the strings are pulled from somewhere else. How media could become such a big giant? Do we have saints in Electronic Media who believe in 'Truth-in-Everything' mantra? Certainly not.


5. People came out on roads for the support of a judiciary drama supported by political parties but they have never protested against inflation this way. In the past few days how many times media, government and Nawaz league have addressed these issues? Rather, still they are talking about Integrity of their parties, Governor Raj and Constitution.



All for now. Next post would be on some other absurd theory.
