A very sad but true fact!

I totally agree with what is said here. In the present era, it's the media that rules and whoever connects properly to the media is the winner. Look at the energetic, media friendly, charismatic heads of other prominent countries and compare that with our frail, aged, sleep walking Bajpayeejis and Manmohan Sings. However evil, dodgy and liar Musharraf may be, one thing is certain he gets the spotlight wherever he goes, partly due to his charisma and party due to his bold, controversial statements. Here is London, UK he gets much much more media coverage than our Presidents/PM's who hardly gets a line or two at prominent events.
Moreover look at our other, so called ministers (foreign minister, minister of external affairs, home minister, home secretary, press secretary etc etc) and you'll see how impotant these guys are. Each and everyone dread to make statements to foreign press and when pressed on the maximum they can utter is: No comments. Each rely on other to carry the flag or are afraid of making wrong statements. On the contrary the Pakistani ministers/ambassadors/press secretaries are loved by the media as they never shy off from them and always make bold united statements
