For the first time in the 63-year long history of Pakistan, Freedom of Press is being grossly misused. This time, it is not in danger from the government side but it is from media men themselves. It is a sad aspect of the issue because the Freedom of Press was obtained by the nation after a long and difficult struggle and scarifies.
Obviously, anchors of satellite TV channels are bent upon to create chaos in the country. Surprisingly, some anchors are compelling their guests through questions to give such replies that personally suit to the anchors and frequently pass objectionable remarks that are not allowed by ethics of journalism in any case.
Severe criticism in the press from common man against misuse of Freedom of Press does not bring any positive change to their attitude.
I request the civil society members to come forward and save Freedom of Press from the irresponsible media before it is too late.
