4. The media should remain neutral during elections
Starting off with the topic "The media should remain neutral during elections" is why are the media always involved with everything. As fairness these days aren't quite fair anymore. To be honest since the fact of cheating came in play the world has changed a lot. Many people have been cheated and have been stepped on by the fact that people make up lies on what they did or not. It's the peoples choice on whom should be elected not the media. For example, a man who has worked his heart out to be elected is chosen by the people but close to the end of the election some rumor is spread that he has done something that no one has done before that he will regret for ever, and gets to the media. Say some other guy is not so popular but is more promising because of this horrid rumor.
The media these days are very different from the past as it has evolved a lot. On a website from Pakistan (http://dunyanews.tv/index.php/en/Pakistan/167455-ECP-tells-media-to-be-neutral-during-elections- ) quote "It further advises media not to use derogatory titles for politicians that can damage the reputation of a candidate.
Advising media to follow professionalism, the ECP says media will have complete access to information during the polls.
It also directs the local authorities to provide protection to media men so that nobody can harass them.
Media should not takes side of any political party or personality, and avoid presenting public opinion out of context.
Similarly, the code says that media should not air rumours and conjectures, the code says.
It also urges candidates and political parties to respect the freedom of expression."
In conclusion, yes media should stay away from creating mischief on grounds against any candidate. They should create a law that if media interferes with the election that they should be ejected and fined highly so nothing is created and all harm is low. Everything should be well and evenly matched. For the best candidate shall win with hard work and effort.
