Baiting Veena Malik (II)

Letter January 26, 2011
This might get good ratings and a lot of comments and readers but is editorial judgement and prerogative dead?

LAHORE: Surely the media has other things to discuss than what Veena Malik wore on “Bigg Boss” and how friendly she was, or wasn’t, with some of the men on the show. We have terrorists running amok in the country and the country’s largest city held hostage by target killers and a self-confessed killer of a senior politician lionised as a hero, and we are worrying ourselves and debating to death what Veena Malik should or should not have done. This might get good ratings and a lot of comments and readers but is editorial judgement and prerogative dead?
