In 2003, everyone saw how the Western media paved the path for attacks on Iraq by making repeatedly false accusations of Iraq having Weapons of Mass Destruction. They spread all kinds of false information and doubts about Saddam Hussein, and made him a non-negotiable person.
Western media eagerly played the dirty game of corrupt government officials in Western governments. One reason was that the media and/or the owners of the media had direct and indirect interests from attack on Iraq. Western media told a very huge amount of lies to their own people and to all of the world. The sad thing is, majority of well-respected and credible western journalists were also deliberately part of this lying game.
Western media has come to this stage of waging wars and be a part of killings of millions of innocent people. This state is after the western media as being free and truly professional for several decades after WWII.
In the twentieth century, Western media showed to the world what it meant to be professional and provided good standards and examples. Now, it is crushing its own legacy of standards and professionalism.
Western media has been transformed into corporate media which now serves the interests of its corporate owners. They can publish any kind of false information if monetary interests are involved. They hide facts and mislead their own population in any direction they want. They have forgotten the investigative and journalistic professionalism of past. Western media is no longer a shining beacon to the newly freed media developing world.
The question is: Will this happen to newly freed media of Pakistan and the developing world as well?
