Pakistani journalism hitting a new low; A kid kills family of 6 in road rage accident, Mubashir Lucman does interview with killer's father

[Major]

2 weeks ago an underage child ends up killing 6 people in a "car accident". These 6 people included 2 children and 2 women.

Later it was found out that it was not an accident, but the underage driver was harrasing the women driver and was stopped on road and told to stop. After which he got angry and decides to ram his car at the speed of 160kph+ into the other family's car, and ends up killing 6 people.

Whats even more shameful is that senior journalist, Mubashir Lucman ends up doing an interview with the father of the child who killed 6 people. Allowing the public narrative to change in the killers favor.

This is a clear attempt by this anchor to create a soft image of the culprit in front of the nation.

To me its looking more like a paid interview!

Unfortunately, it is mostly about ratings and views for media people and channels.

Pakistan journalism is like the movie Nightcrawler. Do anything for a quick buck. Same idea in any industry in Pak tbh.

In today's era, the media is here just to cash in on such incidents. Their purpose is not to deliver accurate news but to earn money by doing crap shows and getting TRP from it.

Every show on TV channels is trying to highlight controversies instead of giving solutions. Journalism has died its natural death long time ago.
