In a research exercise, 14,534 news reports and columns that have been published in Jang and The News between August 22, 2009 and August 30, 2010 have been analyzed. The analysis is on the basis of the folloing heads:

Needless to say, 5,090 reports, columns and editorials have an angling rating of 3 which is 35% of the total. 6,912 have an angling rating of 2 which is 47.55%. The remaining 2,524 news items have a angling rating of 1. 8 News report have No angling rating.

Is this journalism? Our friend, Ansar Abbasi in his loose talk in Capital Talk on Friday, October 15, 2010 said “Dunya bhar mayn journalism good faith mayn hoti hay. Agar koi ghalat baat bhee ho to ussay good faith mayn chhap saktay hayn!” Wow Ansar. You are the best. In your shouting match with Nazir Naji on November 4 2009, in the same Capital Talk (available on Youtube), you had said “Mayn Islamist hoon, mazhabi rujhaan rakhta hoon!”. Does Islam teach you to lie and spread budgumani? 

Shame on all the team of Jang, The News and Geo!!!!

The 560 pages plus report in PDF can be seen here. As the say “Such jaan kar Jeeo!”

Found something that I thought would interest LUBP readers.

Geo proudly put this news with a picture on their website. The picture, doubtless reproduced

without permission from owners, talk about Intellectual property infringement, a different type of

theft which is OKAY. But that’s not the controversy.

As you may see, the first line read ‘A British Judge’ and so goes on to say this happened in UK.

Subtle message: Wow, making examples of people. Is UK now following the Muslim shariah

punishments- Brilliant news, for the Right wing news channel and similar ideologues.

But wait, there is a problem. This isn’t UK, it is in fact USA, Texas to be exact. State that has

been decried by Nevada Senate candidate, Sharron Angle to be following shariah – she obviously

meant it in a different – Muslims are at the gates – way of course.
