		<description>ITS TRUE MEDIA IS FOURTH PILLER OF ANY STATE. IF WE SEE PRESENT ROLE OF MEDIA IT IS MUCH BETTER THEN ITS PAST. MEDIA IS GROOMING TIME BY TIME. THERE ARE ALSO NEGATIVITY IN MEDIA LIKE SOME ANCHORS SHOW SOFTNESS TOWARD SOME POLITICAL PARTIES. SOME MEDIA CHANNELS ARE HAVING ANTI-GOVERNMENT POLICY. WHICH IS AGAINIST IMPARTIALITY. PAKISTANI MEDIA IS NOT INDEPENDENT SO HOW IT CAN FUNCTION POSTIVELY LIKE WESTERN MEDIA. BUT MEDIA ACHIEVEMENTS CAN NOT BE IGNORED. IT WAS MEDIA SUPPORT WHO MADE LAWER MOVEMENT SUCCESSFULL. IN PRESENT SITUATION MEDIA IS HIGHLIGHTING SOCIAL AND PUBLIC ISSUES WHICH IS CAUSING SOLUTIONS FOR PROBLEMS.</description>

		<description>dear brother . the content was not as much statisfactory as deemed whilist intiating reading , for it contained a only centered factor; pessimistic . it would be sheer perversity if the hallmark achievments of the informal pillar of state is overlooked . the query asked in the last has it&#039;s answer within us . it are we who are more attracted to sensational , fabricated and absurd news and reports than those of others . the media personnels have just to mint money it provides what we want . need is educate ouself . this task can be  well had by people like us , educated ones . once we start realising our reponsiblities , spontaneously the devastating path shall seen veered to that of progressive one .there are good and informative channels like national geoghraphy , peace , discoveries , and much more . have we ever heeded upon them .

		<description>Best wishes to all !

Somewhat yes, media is playing its role in the society , but upto some extent . They are known to be a strong pillar but today in the present circumstances , like the situation is prevailing all around Pakistan and the muslim world , they look more like a image destroyer rather than image builder .
Showing their own grievances , their own differences , their own fighting among themselves to the whole world is a very positive sign in their own prospect. They making themselves hero of this what should b a noble profession once .
No way damn ! in the present prevailing situation they are doing no good to themselves and to the motherland .
Look what the western media doing for their own causes , how helpful they are becoming to their people and to their respective countries .
But their own people are feeling unsafe , especially after the 9/11 incident , which they are themselves to be blame for .
Because of their hypocrisy they are moving towards disintegration for sure , which they are blaming us for , INSHAALLAH.
Media has a very positive role in building a strong national unity among ourselves and to show the western hypocrit world that we r one single unit and don&#039;t need any outside help  and they should use their potential to the full extent .
Safety of the motherland lies first , we as the brave Pakistani nation should stand fast in the time of need and our media has a very very positive role to play .
We should not giving the western world any chance to think that vr not a united nation . Every body has some weaknesses but showing to the whole world is not helping us in our cause to b a strong nation .
Showing personal news and views what should be kept secret is giving bad name to us and making bad impression to whole of the world , which the infidel world taking full advantage of .
Pls Pakistani media try to act as a responsible institution , which i am sorry to say u r not doing so . Bringing praise to urself is not the real job that who makes the headline news first , the real thing should be saving our motherland&#039;s prestige which is at stake at the moment . The only way in my view to come out of all our miseries is to act upon whatever the messenger of ALLAH brought us as soon as possible. GOD save Pakistan .</description>
