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.

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.

They asked for it, they’ll get it.

Thanks InvisibleChurch.

Quick. Send Candy Crowley over. I’m sure she’ll agree with them that they did not commit terrorism when they shot the girl.

Pakistan is a cancer among nations.

It needs to be broken up into its ethnic and tribal regions, and by all means, allow none of its citizens into the United States.

Ok.
Here it is:
Young girl wants to go to school and encourages other girls to also go.
talaban shoots girl in the head, to stop her from going to school.
There you go - fair and balanced

They just need a better press secretary. I think Robert Gibbs is available.

The reason these pedophile-worshipping, goat-humping misogynists feel so empowered is because they’re always facing cowards.

If someone would stand up and say “BRING IT”, maybe things would be different.

God I’m so d@mn sick of mozlums.

I’ll give them some objective coverage. They’re a bunch of murdering cutthroats who will resort to any kind of depredation to turn their society back to the ninth century.

I think it would be grand to start a rumor campaign in Pakistan, that there is a large and shadowy organization whose purpose it is to kidnap and execute Taliban as being “offensive to Allah”.

But the zinger is that after kidnapping and executing them, they ritually bury them in a pit full of pig feces and offal, brought to Pakistan just for that purpose.

The idea is that any with Taliban who goes missing, it should be suspected that this organization got him, executed him and buried him in such a way as to deny him entrance to Muslim heaven.

Such rumors can be highly entertaining.

If successful, the rumor might be advanced that when such Taliban are kidnapped, they are injected with pig fat that sends their souls to Hell, but reanimates their bodies as a soulless zombie husk, an eater of the dead.

And they look and act *exactly* like they did when they were alive.

Napalm is pretty objective and unbiased....it covers well too.

After watching Pakistan play both sides for 60 years, I am convinced they are the problem.

[dirtymac]

I wish our ‘Major Media” outlets would have the same courage as the Pakistani’s

[driftless2]

We are talking about human slime, murderous cretins who rank with the Nazis, Communists, and other cold-blooded killers as among the worst people ever spawned by Satan. The Taliban deserve to have their miserable lives mercilessly snuffed out in the most violent ways possible.
