    Why are you objecting? I seem to recall that you felt it perfectly normal for media to lay out information as they see fit, and for the people to sift through it and decide what is or is not true. In case you have forgotten, allow me to jog your memory:

    “Free media provides YOU the opportunity to here all sides of the argument leaving you as an individual to decide what is right and what is wrong.”

    This a quote from a comment you left on my blog last year. Let individuals decide on their own if their reporting is right or wrong. Wasn’t that your stand? Or does that only apply to Media in Pakistan?
