^ With that logic, every journalist who writes articles in the paper hates the politicians hes talking about? That doesnt make sense rob. He presented it rather well, with facts. You are forgetting how sad Altaf was on Mirza's death and how he was offering the duas for his maghfarrat. Altaf has proven he'll conspire with just about anyone, provided the rewards are good, be it PPP, PML[N], Amreeka, or India (as evident by his anti pakistani hate speeches in India).

Not every journalist. In countries like Pakistan, where media and politics are often driven by religion and ethnic identity rather than secular reason, there is little protection for the minority and individual. If this was a foreign observer, an urdu speaking or Ahmedi journalist then it would be different. However, if this journalist doesnt belong to the above groups, then there is a possible conflict of interest in the story. In most civilized countries, people are cognizant of such bias in the media. Both Rob and Shadan appear to recognize this possiblity. However, spock usually endz up on the side of big government, failing to reconginze the rights of the individual or minority. Before this post spock wanted the government to prosecute Musharraf for having a farm, without any specific proof of corruption. spock my friend, you seem to favor the tyranny of the majority thru big government. This is a definite recipe for the destruction of Pakistan.
