Pakistani blog Baithak suggests that people should understand the spirit of religion rather than just following the rituals of sacrificing animals during Eid-ul-Azha: “The purpose of sacrifice is to understand the spirit of parting with what you hold dear (your wealth), it is not some muqabla against four-legged animals.”
Teeth Maestro highlights the efforts of Sunshine Welfare Organization (SWO), a group of committed young activists from Karachi and Islamabad. They are trying to mobilize Pakistani youth against gender violence using ICT tools.
Conversations with Dina criticizes the sensationalism of Indian media in the coverage of the anniversary of the Mumbai attacks: “Just because you have so much footage during the terror attacks, does it mean it is revamped and repackaged into more and more noise (don’t forget the background dhadam dhadam music!)?”

Why are you objecting? I seem to recall that you felt it perfectly normal for media to lay out information as they see fit, and for the people to sift through it and decide what is or is not true. In case you have forgotten, allow me to jog your memory:
“Free media provides YOU the opportunity to here all sides of the argument leaving you as an individual to decide what is right and what is wrong.”
This a quote from a comment you left on my blog last year. Let individuals decide on their own if their reporting is right or wrong. Wasn’t that your stand? Or does that only apply to Media in Pakistan?
