Nope. Here people think no war is going to happen with India. Pakistani media isn't that hawkish as far as India is concerned. That's why Pakistanis media is focused more domestic issues.
The recent reports about the present escalations are a prove to that. All Indian media presenting same reports where only evil Pakistan violates ceasefire and innocent India just responds to it.
Indian media isn't free.
"Freedom" of media is different from "motive" of media.
I would say Indian media is not free if they are not allowed to show news of IA deaths and only report
PA deaths, so that it appears PA are weaklings. But that's not it - the Indian media always looks for
sensationalism!
So they make it seem IA is receiving all the blows and failing to hit back, this is done most of the
time, same with LAC tensions with China. Troops from both sides routinely carry out patrols into
territory claimed by the other guys, but only those news of PLA patrols are reported.
Tell me, if Indian media is not free, and under control of govt, why will they make it seem as if
IA is taking all the blows? Won't it make the common Indian people angry over the govt. and Army
itself for not giving a befitting reply??
In Pakistan, the situation is opposite, most of the time, Pak media doesn't publish reports of
PA deaths because then common Pakistan people may become discontent with the way PA is
working - the PA or the Pak govt. do not want that - they want to make it seem as if PA is always
victorious so that common man in Pakistan is satisfied.
This is important because Pak is in a state of turmoil - the last thing they would want is the common
Pakistani citizen being discontent and angry at the functioning of their Army.
