Media freedom

Aitzaz Ahsan repeatedly asked media men to switch off their cameras just before Sher Afgan was thrashed by a mob in Lahore recently. The SCBA president, however, did not request the media men not to cover the 25-hour journey of the chief justice of Pakistan from Islamabad to Lahore after he was first removed by General Musharraf. Why did he want to restrict the freedom of the media when it was showing the ugly side of the lawyers’ movement?
