Why Pakistan Doesn’t Matter to Americans

Floods, economic collapse, mass protests, political tumult, military crackdowns, an imprisoned former Prime Minister and disappeared journalists - there's a lot going on in Pakistan, but U.S. news media is quiet. Despite Pakistan being a staple in U.S. international news coverage, recent events - which also implicate the U.S. government as having interfered in the country’s democratic processes - have garnered little coverage on the gravity of the current political situation in Pakistan which has seen the country’s military exert extreme control and repression. What’s going on? Backspace’s Sana Saeed looks at how the relationship between institutions of power and influence - media and foreign policy - works to manufacture which stories we care about and how.

Actually Zia was a greedy bastard who got played by US & KSA narrative against Soviet Union and so he took dollars and help created Taliban. This was done by creating thousands of Madarsahs & train people extremist material. They also trained Afghan people as well. Now these polarized people fought the war with Soviets and defeated them. Later in 2001, there was another bastard dictator Musharraf who pleged to help US fight Taliban in reaction of 9/11. US invaded Afghanistan with the help of Pakistani military. This continued till 20 years & after that US troops returned back to US. Now the result is: 1. Pakistan still has groups of religious extremist. 3. Taliban are fighting war against Pak Army as they consider Pakistan as enemy (due to Musharraf supporting US against Taliban). 3.

US news medias have been more and more bias, catering their coverage to various market audiences, especially sometime during the late 1980s. If you compare coverages from the 1950s through to the 1970s with post 1990s, there is a notable difference in journalistic standards with regards to ethics and bias coverage. With that said, American opinion of Pakistan has nothing to do with the problems in Pakistan. That is all the doing of Pakistanis.

[@DemPilafian]

Your 1st paragraph says Pakistan's problems are fake (media bias). Your 2nd paragraph says Pakistanis are to blame for Pakistan's problems. Ok. Interesting logic. Just out of curiosity, what's your religion?

@@ycplum7062 It's not bias -- it's change. Since the 1990s Muslim countries have steadily become less religiously tolerant and more hostile to freedom and democracy. Democracies are not out to destroy Islam -- Islam is out to destroy democracy. The governments of Muslim countries were more secular in the 1990s.

[@ycplum7062]

@@DemPilafian I was about to say you are wrong about muslims, but then I realized to were talking about the country, not necessarily muslims. You are correct about the countries being less tolerant. I think it was a combination of the educated and secular leaving the muslim countries for better economic opportunities (a brain drain), combined the a resurgence Sayyid Qutb's teaching (from teh 50's and 60's). His reactionary and intolerant thinking found an audience among the poor and oppressed. Only by returning to the old teaching and reestablishing Shariah could they "reestablish the kindom of God/Allah on earth". Basically, this was analogous to a violent and fanatical islamic version of born again christian ... on steroid. And of course, you have various dictators trying to coopt this fevor for their own power. Think Erdogan (successfully) and even Saddam (less successfully). You also had Iran exporting terrorism and you had the rise of Al-Qaeda. The failures of Arab Spring certainly did not help. With all that said, I still think there is inceased bias in the US news media. The two are not mutually exclusive and I suspect they feed off each other. If you look at the choice of wordings and teh presentations from before 1980 and compare it with today's reporting, there is a massive difference.

Unlike the past when US sided with Pakistan, they know this hasn’t gone well for them.

The Soviets in 1971 not only helped India but won over their friendship which lasts till this day.

I like that you explain how things are not as simple or distilled as the majority of news outlet will portray. Nothing is ever as simple as people are told while reading the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, watching CNN, or Fox "news". My frustration is watching a supervisor's eyes get lost because he is not willing to accept that their is not simple answer. Everyone thinks their is a simple solution or explanation. But their is never a simple solution or explanation. If the explanation was simple then they would have figured out the explanation themselves. If the solution is simple then that solution is only convenient and convenience is expensive. Because the answer is not simple the person giving the answer can't be trusted. I read a news article and it seems to portray people as one extreme or the another extreme. I am exhausted of this type of polarization. And I am not surprised that the politics of other countries do not make sense. I am not being told the facts unless those facts agree with an extreme narrative. To use a metaphor I saw in a Robert Redford movie, "We needed twice the sex with half the foreplay." Then Americans wonder why people are fed-up with the US. We keep expecting people to like us after we screw them. And if they happen to like getting screwed then we want to charge more for the experience. Leaving the sex metaphors behind, Good night.

[@super8mate]

All news media focuses almost exclusively on negativity. So it’s meaningless point out that US news portrays Pakistan negatively. Good article overall but I would have left that out.

[@busylivingnotdying]

I love your work on set and lighting, Emmet. The Reporters in front of the camera look three dimensional and their skin looks natural and becoming (as opposed to many news-room sets that makes the on-camera talent look too pale, blueish or yellowish and surrounded by harsh "techno" surfaces). Good work

[@lopiid]

Thank you, Ahmed! You rock!

[@chopati]

Sana's content and delivery is brilliant. Kudos to the team and great work Ahmed, from one producer to another! Cheers from Karachi

Pukistan - ponjabis are the reason for the present state of pukistan.. Poonjab needs to be broken for the betterment of humanity and pukistan.

Excellent. I'm at loss of words.

first time watched your vlog. Very impressed.

[@FreeSoul76]

What is postive things about Pakistan is nothing 😂😂

[@Oceansta]

Very insightful piece. Well done 👍🏽

[@connortom1678]

OMG! Finally someone spoke up about this!

[@globalcitizen1856]

There is nothing in this story that is specific to Pakistan. US takes the same approach with every country in the world. India is probably the worst hit of all the countries - an approach that is basically a US-centered, racist & intolerant approach.

[@abulfadhl605]

Brilliant. Thanks Sana.

[@alphanemo6121]

Great report Sana!

[@Secular1000]

Thank you very much Sana!

[@TavitianNicolas]

Suggestion: analyse the coverage of Armenia in Pakistan. The US are a big bully, but there are others too... Those (rightly) criticising the US sometimes give the impression that the superpower is the only source of evil, or the only one that should be held to any standard of human decency when dealing with other countries. If we mean to be respectful towards Pakistanis, should we not also question their unfair treatment of, and involvement in other countries too?

[@offred6013]

Beggaristan is more apt name😂😂😂

[@awadawad5536]

Hands down amazing!

[@hamzahomar7691]

Thank you Sana for covering the truth.

[@c.s.venkatesh9234]

Very well presented and compelling- this is the first time I’ve seen your channel! Strangely enough, I have similar thoughts on the Western media coverage of India!

[@jatin9070]

Of course india is sponsoring ,nurturing ,protecting terrorists and seperatists and marrying little girls from minority groups to 50 years old muslim uncles. RIGHT. No one should compare that country that is cursed from the birth to india . The land which had accepted had such great 5000 or even more old history and they are literally doing nothing to protect those places and destroying the temples ,shrines , monasteries that are older than their religion . Lol. That's how stupid they are. Out of all the muslims only the Iranian and Moroccon people have logic and common sense that they protected their culture and traditions and historical places except some temples destroyed by Iranian Islamists after revolution . They still have a protected hindu temple ,a zororestrian temple and many other 4000 years caves and other historical places built by their ancestors.

[@unibks4382]

Pakistan's economic problems are symptoms of its geopolitical problems. Pakistanis will never prosper until they fight for independence from Pakistani Generals and the Anglo-$axons and switch sides in the Great Game. 200 years ago 5,000 British soldiers along with 12,000 sepoys crossed the Indus River and entered Afghanistan and carried out regime change by overthrowing King Dost Khan of Afghanistan in an unprovoked act of aggression. The British Empire feared King Dost Khan may form diplomatic relations with the Czar of Russia to help Afghanistan restore its lost empire in the Indus valley. The Royal Grand Indus Army that owns, occupies and ru(i)ns Pakistan maintains Britain's imperial legacy and enforces British foreign policy in Afghanistan and Indus valley for a fistful of $$$. The Great Game or Ghazwa-e-Rus.

[@daviOzBr]

That’s what it looks like. The Britts stole so much from India and killed so many people in India that they should give them compensation and reparation. The same thing with Pakistan. Some racist Britts despise Indians, Pakistanis, amongst other foreigners in their country while they should actually being rolling the red carpet for them.

[@himanshusirohi2403]

But i can't get the fact how US Media coverage stopped them from working on their economy and development. Whoever says what about you shouldn't matter when your goals are clear. US Media has never been good on China and India but they are still doing great economically.

[@daudahmed7816]

Before revolution iran was also a us ally just wait and what happens 😂

[@khalid-au]

Good analytic report. Appreciate the work.

[@gowent]

Well covered.

[@orangemanbad9723]

This is is a very well produced propaganda video. It is also very timely, given the self loathing and mindless guilt of the western liberal media. Nice job glossing over the fact that Pakistan survives on creating and then pretending to fight terror. Blaming the western media for "lazy journalism", while engaging in it yourself is a master stroke. Well done!!

[@viking007]

Absolutely

[@elvissolo3083]

U do not have the facts necessary to understand this article. "selfloathing western media" U are something else.

[@JohnTovar-ks8dp]

Even people in Pakistan don't like Pakistan. At least 2 major groups want to break up the country. This will probably happen, so why even talk about Pakistan. There will be no Pakistan soon.

[@sudhanshubisht924]

Kudos to your confidence and presentation...keep up the good work

[@clearvision07]

One has to ask just one question. Was there any terrorism going on in Pakistan before US descended back in 1979 to arm and train uneducated, illiterate Afghans against Soviets presence there using Pakistan as a conduit to do that? If you can answer that question honestly than you can figure out who promoted terrorism in that region.

[@ram_sankar]

Given that Pakistan was only born in 1979, how good can we use that as a logic to answer this question?

[@SatabdiKundu07]

Why their leaders allowed it.Only for money and more money.oh sorry leaders don't run that country.

[@nordicvolkan]

This was a great summary about Pakistan and its relationship with the US. Awesome job Backspace 👍

Pakistan rule by army General in 75 years. With help of mullah and political parties all of them ues by army General interest. It's banana Republic country rule by military boots

[@rajaabokhari]

this is so refreshingly balanced. as long as powerful countries like the US keep conspiring with the military and landlords of Pakistan, the people will continue to suffer - basic amenities gone, de-industrialization, brain drain, labor exploitation, and loss of culture and media independence

[@SatabdiKundu07]

What is this report trying to say? It's so difficult to understand for me. Can anyone pitch in.

[@HumanHuman.]

Well done, Sana! Remarkable presentation and argument. An intelligent analysis simplifying the reality of the situation so the viewer can actually finally understand the complexities easily. Other media houses should learn from this piece what ethical journalism really is! And thanks Ahmad!
