Interestingly the media only focused on how our president ogled at the vice-president nominee and flirted with her. Probably it can simply be dismissed as a ridiculous attempt at impersonating an 'american attitude' where he tried to over compensate his 'ghunda' impression. The only other explanation is to believe into all the rumours being spread on SMS these days (and if you don't know what I mean, get on somone's distribution list!).
The point that has concerned me is why US before China and why didn't it make any news when (and if) he met Obama? And if he didn't why are we gambling all our chips on the Republicans???
Still the media attention on just one single point baffles me and leads me to conclude safely that if (Inshallah) things get better in Pakistan, it will put alot of TV channels out of work. Its sad but I think our recent media boom is a side effect of political and social turmoil in the country. Which now has become a chicken and egg story much like the decline of our film industry in the 80s at the hands of glorified violent characters. Whether the media reporting encourages more violence and distress or just reports something which is already there; don't think this can ever be answered.
So if the powers that be are listening, you can get rid of the 'hum sab umeed se hain' garbage by simply making things better in the country :) and let the channels starve to death.
