Interim Report on Media Investigation
Dawn has significantly covered the interim report of the government set up committee to investigate the rumors that began on Thursday, 14th October, 2010 that made the judiciary go hay wire and become extremely insecure. Jang and The News have ignored the report only quoting The Highly Honorable Mr. Justice Khalil-ur-Rehman Ramday’s question as to where is the war between the government and the judiciary! Dawn has covered the Interim Report as part on their headline on front page titled “Storm in the judicial teacup”. It seems that Fakhar Rehman will be made a scapegoat in all this matter, but my question is where do the likes of Kamran Khan and Ansar Abbasi who have been confirming such reports as well Ahmed Owais, who has alleged that Dogar was being reinstated and Akram Sheikh, who has said that the orders had been signed, will be hauled up in court and explain their sources? Shahid Masood was asked by Matiullah Jan on Dawn News whether he would resign as ARY’s President if he was unable to verify his sources? He was shamelessly saying that “Iss tarah nahee hota!”. Wah Dr. Saab wah!!!
INTERIM REPORT: In its interim report, the committee conceded that journalistic norms were not being universally observed by media people while reporting on major national issues.
“There exists a tendency of reporting on sensitive subjects based on a single source contrary to international norms that advocate the confirmation of such news from multiple sources. The breaking news about the withdrawal of executive order was telecast without apparently establishing any contact and or verification procedure with the alleged offender i.e. the government,” it said, adding: “In the ‘ongoing standoff between the executive and the judiciary’, media is playing both a positive and negative role.” The report said it realised that journalists were very sensitive about their sources of information. The committee has not identified the existence of visible source(s) in the government or the judiciary which may have provided the relevant media persons such information.
It said that the initial breaking news that caused panic, sensation and anguish was telecast on Aaj News by its reporter Fakhar Rehman on Oct 14 at 2145 hours that a decision had been taken by the government to withdraw the executive order while mentioning that government sources had provided the information. However, the committee could not find any evidence in support of this proposition.
It went on to say that several other channels also repeated this breaking news of Aaj TV without quoting any source and also discussed the issue in their programmes.
In order to find the facts, the committee called Aaj TV Director Wamiq Zuberi and the reporter, but both were not available. However, they had committed to appearing before the committee on Monday at 1100 hours in Karachi.
The committee has also requested Editor News Mohammad Malick, President of ARY TV Dr Shahid Masood, Hamid Mir of Geo TV or any other media person to appear before it.
Wrong investigations.
The Committee must start their investigations from 19 January 2010 when this report was first published in The News and also telecast on Geo TV.

بے شک حکومتِ وقت تمام رعایا کی جان و مال کے تحفظ کی ضامن ہوتی ہے، لیکن حکومتِ وقت اور
حُکمرانِ وقت کے خاندان کی پاکستان اور جمہوریت لیے دی گئی قُربانیاں پسِ پُشت نہیں ڈالی جا سکتی۔
پچھلے دِنوں طالبان کی چُنگل سے آزادی پانے والی مینا کی کہانی سُنیں تو احساس ہو کہ کیسے
دُخترِ مشرق شہیدِ جمہوریت بینظیر بھٹو کو شہید کر کے اِن خارجیوں نے خوشیاں منائی تھیں۔
خارجیوں کو خوشی تھی کہ سالارِ قافلہ مار دی، اب حسینیوں کا لشکر بکھر جائے گا٠
لیکن ٢٨ دسمبر کے بعد پاکستان کھپے کا فلک شگاف نعرہ ۔۔۔۔ یہی وہ مُقام تھا جب خارجیوں کو اپنا
پینترا بدلنا پڑا اور سازشیوں کو یزیدی لشکر میں پہلی صف دی گئی، یہ خارجی جانتے ہیں کہ پاکستان
کو عدم استحکام سے دوچار کرو، انہیں لڑاؤ، لسانی، مذہبی، صوبائی رنجشوں کو سازشیوں کے ذریعے
طُول دو، انہیں کسی مسجد، کسی جلوس، کسی محفل، کسی سیاسی پلیٹ فارم پر اِکٹھا مت ہونے دو۔
سازشی حسینی لشکر میں ایسا انتشار پیدا کریں کہ اِس لشکر کی صفیں آپس میں اُلجھ جائیں،
جو تلواریں خارجیوں کے لیے نیام سے باہر آئیں ہیں وہ یہ آپس میں ہی ایک دوسرے کی گردن پر رکھ دیں
جو کام خارجی غار میں چھُپ کر وار کر کے نہیں کر سکے وہ انہی کا سازشی ٹولہ میڈیا میں بیٹھ کر کرنے
کی کوششوں میں مصروفِ عمل ہے۔
i think lbup should investigate the assets of these journalists kamran khan,ansar abbasi,etc and publish it in this forum.please take pictures of their big houses and cars and upload those pictures in this forum.please do little bit research on these people and their lifestyle and publish that report with pictures in this forum.
publish those pictures and assets detail in electronic media and print separate reports on each of them and distribute it in public.
Some of the media persons quoted here are certainly not following the ethics of reporting and present facts that have no or very biased sources.
