The Media Blank

Though we hear that the Military Operation to clear the areas of Swat, Buner and Dir of militants is going well and that victory is at hand (or so it is said) we get to know precious little of the state of the people who have been forced into exile due to this operation. I wonder at the likes of media frenzy such that was created on the issue of the restoration of Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as the Chief Justice and the Lawyer movement is conspicuously absent in this case when Pakistan has a real humanitarian crisis at hand. What possible tactical advantage are we to gain by toning down this reality?
