Is anyone else tired of the international community interfering in pakistan's internal affairs ? I feel western media is abusing pakistan's hospitality by publishing only sensationalist and propoganda articles besides they often discourage people from visting there and go on about how dangerous it is so maybe also for their own sake they should stay out .I would like for pakistanis to start showing only what we want them to see for our own interest.:pakistan:

I think we should start by clamping down on our own media outlets first...refuse to renew licenses for those news outlets, tv. and print, that refuse to support Pakistans Campaign against Islamist Militants.

I dont understand what you mean by "interfering in pakistan's internal affairs", do you mean to say Pakistan isnt having a hard time with militants at the moment? Do you think i should visit Pakistan and go to some of the tribal areas? Maybe i could go and have a beer with Muslim Khan, perhaps he could give me some advice on how to more tolerant towards people.
Ban the media and you might as well join the Taliban.

media should be free what they wana show let them show.if we impose sanctions now its not good time now better we wait until finish this mess then make now policy for international media
 
.
well with the military operations happening it's sensitive time now for pakistan esp their constant B.S about terrorists getting their hands on nukes is only spreading panic pak should tell them either stop this fearmongering or get lost.

Yeah stop all the Media and additionally stop Internet access to all Pakistanis so that they dont know what the world might think.

This might be just the help required by Talibani Mullahs. Also while you are at it, put a ban on any ani-govt / Anti-army statement by public. Heck implement Marshal law.

Insane ????? Dear khanz,
Well its called freedom of speech and power to media is very important - to make a clear visula connection between - people and goverment
---------------
Media is just a channel - which works as a - connection between - power and people.
Its voice of people - Avery strong and powerful media will only be good for pakistan,
Although some rational does happen, but a from a few rationale news - dont make - Whole media generic . Media might do 1-2% - influence to people and their thought process.
But who got the remote of televsion ?????
And rest 98% is - power of people.
The % level of corruption or rational judgment is much less than - anyother system- be it poltiics , Army , officals , infrastructure office etc.

with great power (nukes) comes great responsibility - a responsibility that pakistan is either unable or unwilling to manage at the moment. until that changes, you can pretty much expect everyone to stick their noses in your business.
 
.
No pakistan should not clamp down media outlets.. because such things happens only in intolerant societies.
 
. .
This is indeed crazy thought. International opinion is based on perceptions and any such talk of banning media will only create a negative image for your country. Look what is happening with China, everytime a You Tube is blocked, you can observe the negative reactions all over.

What is needed is a savvy handling of the media to push your case across. Look how even OBL uses foreign media. He is an expert on using the media for his own use.

A parallel can be drawn with the way the NDA govt. in India went after Tehelka, they totaly alienated the English Language Media and they are still paying for this lapse in terms of negative publicity.
