Media: How is Pakistani far better than Indian? #WorldNEWSAll
No doubt some Indian media persons have also suffered for upholding press freedom, but the Pakistani journalists have made far greater sacrifices.
I have been observing the performance of both the Indian and Pakistani media for quite some time.
In general, I have found that the Pakistani media has higher ethics, has made greater sacrifices for upholding press freedom, and is more objective and unbiased than the Indian media, and Pakistani journalists have been fulfilling their duty to the people far better than their Indian counterparts.
The role of a journalist, whether on TV or in print, is to objectively inform the public of what is going on in his country and the world (because people themselves cannot be expected to go to the spot everywhere and know what is happening).
This way the media plays an important role in a democracy of building an informed public. The role of a journalist is surely not of building up biases.
But consider a well known Indian TV anchor whom I call Lord Bhow Bhow (paraphrasing Lord Haw Haw who was hanged after the Second World War). He is far from being objective, unbiased and neutral as an anchor should be, and instead sets the agenda on his shows, supportive of the present ruling political dispensation in India (for which he obviously gets benefits from the latter).

He helps in polarising society by constantly talking of Hindu-Muslim animosity, often blaming Muslims and Pakistan for practising terrorism, religious bigotry, and many of the problems in India. Many other anchors have started emulating him, seeing that this pays.
Lord Bhow Bhow has developed a unique aggressive style in his shows, which was unknown in the TV world anywhere. As mentioned above, an anchor in a TV show is supposed to be neutral, objective, and unbiased, and should act like a referee in a football match, not playing himself in the match, but only keeping it under control.

Similarly, an anchor should only intervene if a panelist crosses limits of decency, or goes off the topic of discussion, or speaks too long, but he should not impose his personal views on the topic under discussion.

But Lord Bhow Bhow often hysterically screams and shouts down (like Dr Goebbels or the Nazi judge Roland Freisler) any panelist on his channel who does not agree with him, giving that panelist very little time to speak, constantly interrupting him, and making rude and offensive remarks against him.
On the other hand, he gives a lot of time to those holding the same view as himself, and often gives long speeches stating his personal views.
