Pakistani media circus
There is a clear divide in Pakistani print and electronic media. On the one hand you have the circus being performed by the likes of Ansar Abbasi, Shahid Masood, Irfan Siddiqui, Zahid Hamid and Ahmed Qureshi. On the other hand, you have Nadeem Farooq Piracha, Fasih Zaka, George Fulton, and many others. The former is a gang of right wing conspiracy theorists who believe the US and India are behind everything bad that happens in Pakistan. The latter is apparently a group of western educated progressive journos who frown upon everything that reeks of any association with Islam, they might not agree to it but they toe the US line when it comes to reporting and analysis of the war on terror. In all this mayhem truth and objectivity are the major casualties.
