They want ratings. Nawaz sharif Imran khan will catch people's attention, not PTM which isn't accepted by the very most in Pakistan. Also they're probably not trying to give make this something bigger than it has to be, they didn't cover the recent video statement made by TTP which they said they support PTM either.
This strategy of not publicizing unnecessary things and working with them behind the scenes is the way to go. They're (army) talking to them and with FATA merger and development projects things should go smoothly.
The problem in Pakistan is that media always used to give attention to things that weren't as big as they seem. They smartened up.
Oh please. Our media throws a red alert everytime a bird takes a shit on a car. They could sensationalise drying paint if they wanted to. You think they wouldn't cover the current largest movement going on in the country (that went from FATA to Peshawar to Lahore to Karachi) ? Not a single channel ? Not a minute of coverage ? The only channel that did give it a bit of coverage going off air without any specified reason ?
There's all a very clear reason behind and if we bothered opening a history book it'd become abundantly clear. I've said it time and time again, PTM is not a movement of angels. The statements made and the people supporting it and the fact that Pashteen does not clarify any of these issues is reason to believe that there might be ulterior motives behind the movement, but until we see some malicious actions and violence it's hard to make conclusions. The other side of the arguement is crystal clear though, enforced disappearances, media blackout, resistance to the assembling of the movement and historical context proves that we are under undeclared martial law.
Were you dropped on the head as a child? If you lack the agency to properly read the random comments you respond to better give it a rest. I was talking about foreign media covering PTM you moron.
I know what you're talking about. But it seems your reluctance (not that I am ecoexpect half a decent answer) to answer my question implies that it was indeed you who was dropped. Now I'll ask the last time. Why didn't they receive local coverage ?
