I agree and have already pointed out in my earlier notes that media needs to work in a more responsible manner. The overreactions in case of IA hijacking to Kandahar were rightly denounced by Dr. Farrukh Abullah, at that time but the majority paid no heed. Today the different news channels are desperate to show one up against each other no matter what happens to the public or the nation. I now realize that is was prudent on the part of our earlier leaders including beaurocrats to ensure that the news agencies were kept under govt. control. The freedom given to them has done more harm than good to the nation. The way the immature journalists pester the officials in case of any untoward incident only distracts attention and hampers with rescue/investigation. It is time now govt introduces legislation to make all media agencies more responsible and accountable.
