Came across an interesting news item on GEO.TV at (www.geo.tv/10-15-2008/26937.htm). According to them, David Beckham is a Pakistani American (the word used is Peshawari American) , and has been arrested-then-released in NWFP. (Image below)
Unfortunately Pakistani TV channels hardly verify things before putting them on air/web/paper. Nobody seems to be allowed to challenge them, apparently in the name of FREE-MEDIA. I sometimes wonder, "What is freedom?", "How free should one be, if he is negatively affecting other peoples lives?", "How free can a mad person be left?".
On a lighter side, most of their reporters probably used to drive cabs before joining, and many of their camera men probably used to seek a photography careers on places like Mazar-e-Quaid (Karachi), Shahi Qila (Lahore) and Shakar Parian (Islamabad). The media boom has certainly landed them in much undeserved positions. :)
These guys need to grow up. Media has too much power to be left in the hands of imbeciles. Its like a mad man having a nuclear bomb. Its probably because of their irresponsible handling of media power that our nation is in a shroud of gloom and hopelessness.
