		<description>Perhaps YOU need to revisit the concept of a Free Media. You are confusing it with Freedom of Expression. Nowhere in the world does Free Media translate to saying whatever you want, whenever you want. If your idea of responsible journalism is PTV, then you have the wrong end of the stick, and I suggest you go back to school on this one.

To illustrate my point, you've cheerfully picked out what you feel is relevant to you from my post and ignored the rest - people hear and see what they want to hear and see, and the press have known that much longer than any of us. To offer isolated events up as news is as irresponsible and sensationalist as it gets, and we certainly don't have a public educated enough to glean the truth out of anything they see on TV or in the papers. As you yourself have said in a previous &lt;a href="http://www.imedia-emagine.com/whisk/2007/05/28/the-pakistani-blogger/#comment-940 rel="nofollow"&gt;comment&lt;/a&gt;, even our bloggers are incapable of analyzing situations against any context whatsoever.

And if it were really that simple (see it, shoot it air it), any moron could become a journalist. Really. Look it up. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press" rel="nofollow"&gt;Freedom of the Press&lt;/a&gt; vs. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_speech" rel="nofollow"&gt;Freedom of Expression or Speech&lt;/a&gt;. They're two different things.</description>

		<description>Don't know which tree you are barking up at - but you fail to understand that free media means, it is the freedom for people to raise their voice - Free media provides YOU the opportunity to here all sides of the argument leaving you as an individual to decide what is right and what is wrong.

Responsible media is the PTV variety the scripted form - where you get filtered content as per the appropriate guidelines - I feel you are educated enough to realize that you cannot take the face value of every statement without appreciating the underlying content (in between the line) once you analyze the argument presented you must exercise your power of logical reasoning and hope to come up with a balanced point of view that is perfect in your mind

Blogging is like wise another form of free media but in textual form - understand the difference and you will get over your barrage on blaming the free media for a conspiracy against Pakistan

Accept also the fact that I may have an opinion which may be right or utterly wrong but you have the right to argue in attempt to convince me of your point of view.</description>

		<description>As a reference to a previous story about our bloggers, here's one who considered the one-sided coverage of the Chief Justice issue by our media 'outstanding': &lt;a href="http://ko.offroadpakistan.com/pakistan/2007_03/pakistan_media.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Pakistan Media&lt;/a&gt;</description>
