The first time in the 63-year long history of Pakistan, the "Freedom of Press" is being grossly misused. This time, it is not in danger from the government side, but it is from media men themselves. It is a sad aspect of the issue, because "Freedom of Press" was obtained by the nation, after a long and difficult struggle and sacrifices.
The anchors of satellite TV channels are bent upon creating chaos in the country. Surprisingly, some anchors are compelling their guests, through questions, to give such replies that personally suit the anchors and frequently pass objectionable remarks that are not allowed by the ethics of journalism in any case.
Severe criticism in the press from the common man against the misuse of "Freedom of Press" does not bring about any positive change into their attitude. I request civil society members to come forward and save "Freedom of Press" from the irresponsible media, before it is too late.
