Pakistani media got some of its freedom in the government of a dictator. Though the new found freedom gave it a chance to bring to fore many problems of the country, it has also taken to exaggeration and creating hype over nothing. The example of NRO review petition is a case in point. Media had started sounding ominous about October 13, the date when it was supposed to be decided. Though nothing happened, media has again started whipping up new dates and has made the issue sensational. This is not going to benefit us in any way. Media has to change its policy in this regard and treat the issues of national importance keeping in mind national integrity and public welfare.
