Propaganda doesn't start with the content of the show or article, it starts with the selection of the story and who is invited to speak as a guest or quoted as a source.
Doesn't matter whether you end up discrediting or validating a story in your show or article, because simply by choosing to air and discuss someone's menstrual cycle in your prime time show, you bring their private life to the national conversation through your platform. And in doing so you provide services to those ugly powers that want the story to be aired into everyone's home and dinning rooms to be used a political leverage.
There is no moral or professional justification for Shahzeb Khanzada to do a show on Bushra Bibi's menstrual cycle, and to invite Khawar Maneka, knowing full well who wanted that story out to humiliate and pressurize Imran Khan to give in.
This wasn't a story on corruption scandal, or misuse of power, neither was this story of 'public interest' or 'public good'. This story only served the most rotten elements of the state.
The honourable thing for Shahzeb Khanzada would have been to boycott and refuse to do that show. The second best option was to apologise for that show a long time back, but he didn't!
He's not a victim; he had a choice and he made it!
