.Taliban Demands Unbiased Coverage of Its Attempted Murder of a 14-Year-Old Girl

By John Hudson | The Atlantic Wire – 6 hrs ago. 17 Oct. 2012 .......

Pakistan's Taliban insurgency faces a spate of bad press in mainstream Pakistani outlets related to the jihadists' failed assassination attempt of Malala Yousafzai, a young blogger who dared protest the Taliban's ban on educating girls. Now the Taliban are plotting terror strikes on TV stations and other media organizations, but local newspapers refuse to stay silent.

The first report of these plots were surfaced by an urdu-language reporter on Saturday, who uncovered a special directive by the chief of the banned Tahreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Hakimullah Mehsud. As local newspaper Dawn reported, "Mehsud directed his subordinate to target the offices of media organisations in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad and in other cities of the country especially those media organisations and media personalities who were denouncing TTP after attack on child activist Malala Yousufzai." In response, the Interior Ministry has beefed up security near media organizations. But the Taliban are still whining.

Yesterday, local paper The News International gave voice to the Taliban's pathetic complaints of bias, which offered a rare window into terrorist media criticism. TTP spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan said his group would "continue to respect journalists" except for highly biased outlets. The spokesman for another Taliban insurgent group, Sirajuddin Ahmad of Maulana Fazlullah, spoke at greater length:


He said media provided an opportunity to all those people who were opposed to the Taliban and their activities and used insulting language against them on media. “Right from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to Hillary Clinton and President Obama, all of them used whatever bad language and words they could use on the media but when we tried to reply to them, no media organisation was willing to give us importance. The media is not even allowed to use the real name for Maulana Fazlullah but calling him derogatory names like Mulla Radio,” Sirajuddin complained, but refused to admit that they planned attacks on the media.

Wow, Columbia Journalism Review, here we come. Clearly Pakistani reporters should be giving equal weight to the pros and cons of shooting children in the face.

Why is most of the world mollycoddling those goat humpers? Anybody who uses his religion to do violence to those he opposes needs to be hunted down like a rabid dog and shot dead. I hope Pakistan declares a bounty on every damned one of them, and dead, the bounty doubles. I hope Afghanistan follows suit, as well as every country that is infested with even one of those cockroaches.

Anybody from the peanut gallery who wants to bleat out "GENOCIDE!", please go choke a chicken instead. I will ignore your whines.

Yet it comes close to my point. Many in Paskistan are demonstrating over this girl shooting.

And thats a start of a change in attitude the average person is having.Now if it holds and grows what you suggest just might happen.
