^ you are right to some extent, i must say i agree with half of what you wrote up there. But i do not agree with this

Jang (or any other non-ideological paper as you put it) gives space for editorials to anyone who sells good, most of the time. Very rarely any non-professional writer (who’s earning is not from these editorials) gets published. And I do not agree that they are Talibanic, if a person talks about our religion and tells you to do what you say and reminds you some ethics, he does not become a Taliban. We must stop miss using this word.

I don’t think Jang sells good due to its editorials. And if Jang’s purpose of was only to select Jamaatis because they sell good then why does it keep Jamaatiye like Ansar Abbasi as reporters? Both these examples the ideological leaning of Jang group towards Jamaat. And so it makes no sense to call Jang a pro-MQM paper. It is not.

Editorial pages are not “Islamic safha”. My personal opinion is that if there are some ethics to be taught then it should be taught to all those who consider themselves ‘Islam ke thaykaydar’. But then this discussion has nothing to do with Jang group. And so there is no point continuing on it.
