Islamabad: Bahriagate, Mediagate, Anchorgate, Familygate, Malikgate, Arsalangate and now Mehrgate and Luqmangate. Twitter has been abuzz with these terms since the launch of a video uploaded on YouTube, showing (or exposing) Mehar Bukhari and Mubashir Luqman.
Whole Tweetosphere is flooded with tweets regarding the video and almost all tweeters vented their anger against the two anchors.
It may be first time in the history of Twitter that seven of the top ten trendings belonged to Pakistan and only one topic was being discussed—the media.
Below are some from a sea of tweets which show how Twitter sees these ‘gates’.
#MediaGate is perhaps the best thing for Pakistani media. Swaying public perceptions out of inaccurate and speculative facts is a crime

The #Familygate #BahriaGate has given birth to #MediaGate – If properly managed, this can be the best thing that can happen to #Pakistan

#Mediagate Buzz: Lucman suspended, may quit. Meher Bokhari may air clarification on leaked vid (allegedly by Luqman) on 10pm. Ratings drama?

If a free and fair media is the 5th pillar of state, some Jaali Jourrnos are smelling it up like an army of skunks on heat. #mediagate

I said so many times that this media is just business they can do anything for money and #MediaGate proved me right
