It was a nice attempt made by the makers of this documentary to show the comparison between past and the current model of how the news and the media presentations have changed. They took a trip down memory lane going back a decade ago when there were only two channels available for the audience which they had to believe and bear.
Now, although we have a huge variety of channels to swap but in real term we are in the same place as we were, LOST and MISINFORMED. Reason why I am saying is because before it was two channels that were controlled which never used to inform the true findings and now there are many uncontrolled which also make do the same by mixing and making the information so much biased and one sided due to activism.
As in this documentary, there have been clips that show that the media especially the news has become very commercial and the leading news channels like GEO NEWS and EXPRESS NEWS works largely on adding up spices and the way they say, looks more like a drama then a serious news broadcast.
Although, we see and say that media has much freedom of expression then before, that’s true. But this freedom is being used and exploited very badly to uplift their shops and bringing new blend of propaganda and controversies.
