Intent and News worthiness

Intent makes news:

Its very important for us as readers and viewers to understand that when modern media franchises claim neutrality in reporting news, such a claim is never truly verifiable or conclusive.

The news worthiness of any ‘news’ is decided by the policy makers dependant on their policy. Which explicitly outlines the  ‘slant’ ( focus)  news should have to make it sellable.

None of it is new to this world. Many are aware of this intentional focus on specific issues.

What everyone is not aware of is the effect of spreading a specific ‘focus’ daily on a mass level.

Chomsky has been discussing this ‘ manufacturing of consent’ and ‘creation of news worthiness’ for decades now.

The subtle trickling and manufacturing of a specific focus throughout generations has actually succeeded in creating a reality overflowing with resentment , vengeance and hopelessness.

Our collective psyche as a nation has become that of an ‘Anti-social Narcissist’.

We see the bug buzzing and our paranoia increases every passing second.

The bug needs to be taken care off!

While the serpent coils itself slowly up our necks!

We feel the choking isolation of our strangled reality but our dread in facing the reality forces us to focus on the bug in its stead.

Breaking News:

“A bug managed to infect a healthy adult while a serpent tried to protect him”

Happy news watching everyone!

The truth unveiled!

VALENTINE’S DAY The truth unveiled 'Every deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' Al Muwatta 47.9 HOW IT STARTED: Like most Christian festivals, the origin of Valentine’s Day also lies in the pagan Rome. In ancient Rome young men and women used to celebrate this festival where the women would write love letters and throw them in a huge pot. Then the men would choose their partners through lottery and would court (relationship before marriage) the girl whose letter came in their hands. (Webster’s family encyclopedia). According to the encyclopedia this festival has no direct or indirect link to the life of Saint Valentine (269 A.D). To make Christianity more popular and acceptable among the pagan masses, the Christian clergy added this festival to Christianity by celebrating this day as Saint Valentine’s Day. The myths regarding Saint Valentine giving his life for the sake of love and others are all false. WHERE DO WE ST...

محرومی سے پیدا ہونے والے منفی رویے

محرومی سے پیدا ہونے والے منفی رویے: محرومی، انسانی زندگی کی ایک حقیقت ہے اور اس حقیقت کو جتنا جلد سمجھ لیا جائے اُتنا ہی جلد انسان ترقی کی منازل طے کرتا ہے۔ اس کو نا سمجھنے سے جو رویے انسانی شخصیت کا حصہ بنتے ہیں وہ بہت ہی زہریلے ہوتے ہیں جنھیں آج کل ٹوکسیسیٹی یا ٹوکسک بی ہیویرز کہا جاتا ہے۔ یہ زہر مقدار میں تھوڑا بھی ہو مگر وقت کے ساتھ ساتھ مہلک اور جان لیوا ہو جاتا ہے۔ اسی لئے بروقت سدباب اور چینلنگ (channeling ) بہت ضروری ہو جاتی ہے۔ محرومی کی وجوہ اور علامتوں پر ہم بعد میں غور کریں گے ۔ سب سے پہلے یہ جاننا ضروری ہے کہ محرومی انسان پر منفی اثر کب کرتی ہے۔ جی یہ ممکن ہے کہ محرومی انسان کی طاقت بن جائے مگر یہ بھی ممکن ہے کہ یہ اُس کی تباہی کا سبب بن جائے تو دراصل محرومی محض ایک حقیقت ہے جس سے پنپنے کے طریقے اس بات کا تعین کرتے ہیں کہ یہ مثبت ثابت ہوگی کے منفی۔ اگر انسان اس سچائی کا کلی ادراک کرلے کہ محرومی مخلوق کا مقدر ہے اور یہ کہ تمام قسم کی محرومیوں سے پاک صرف ربِ کائنات کی ذات ہے تو پھر رویوں کا رخ خود بخود درست نہج پر چل پڑتا ہے ۔ توحید پر ایمان اس بات کا متقاضی ہے کہ...

On Cue:

On Cue:  Reality and illusion .............................................. When the Pharoah challenged Prophet Moses (AS) to a contest of power with his best magicians Allah actually revealed to humanity the reality of deception and the fallibility of human vision and perception.  He assured Moses (AS): (20:68) We said to him: "Have no fear; for it is you who will prevail. (20:69) And throw down what is in your right hand; it will swallow up all that they have wrought. They have wrought only a magician's stratagem.  A magician cannot come to any good, come whence he may. ” In the dicipline of psychology there is a phenemenon labelled as the “phi   phenomenon” or simply put a visual closure. It explains the natural response of human vision to a visual stimuli. The response lasts longer than the stimulus thus extending the actual experience. The co ordinated movment of lights on a dance floor or the continuous flicker of bulbs in a string of decoration lights of...
