The ongoing conspiracy that is hatched through Riaz Malik perhaps by the ruling elite to bring down the Chief Justice and rein in the independence of the last of our institutions, the judiciary has powerful helpers: the print media, TV channels and anchors who are ready to sell their impartiality and good conduct for government sponsorship of ads and bribes. DUNYA TV channel which is one of the pro PPP TV channel recently stalled an interview with Riaz Malik giving him prime time to tell his story about how he allegedly allured the son of Chief Justice of Pakistan to influence cases that are pending against him or his company. A video that has been put on you-tube showing the mid break talks among the anchors Luqman and Bukhari has exposed this channel for partisan ship and how the conspiracy was hatched. We condemn this behavior violating the impartiality of media and hope that the regulatory authority PEMRA brings out code of conduct which would make such behavior punishable. Dunya TV is bringing an even worse name to the media which recently have gained doubtful popularity by the way they are exploiting and scandalizing people using impropriate means. Media is a powerful instrument these days in making and breaking political opinion, and need to be subjected to strict rules of conduct; otherwise they will be instruments in the hands of the rich and influential to manipulate the truth. Hope regulators will be more diligent in regulating these channels in future. So the people get light entertainment after work in the evening without being exploited and made tense.
