There may be some objectionable, illegal material in them. But how come Jang was claiming for sure that those were the documents of money laundering ready to be destroyed?
I read that Swiss courts have copies of those documents. So destroying them does not mean anything. One can get a copy of those docs by paying some special fee.
This was clearly another case of Jang’s yellow journalism, sensationalism, and bias against Zardari/PPP.
Whether we like or dislike PPP or Zardari is not the question here. It is about Jang and its journalistic ethics.
Jang group is biased against PPP, especially Zardari. Anything they say about them should be taken with scepticism. Actually, we need a big news outlet that can confront lies and false rumors that are initiated from Jang and its like-minded newspapers. Especially in the field of Urdu journalism. In English, Dawn is doing pretty good job by beingan unbiased and independent newspaper. But Urdu newspapers have more readers, and therefore more impact on society.
