I really despise these US planted traitors in Pakistan, who do not care about our national interest and just for few dollars publishing all sort of BS without caring the recursion for the country!
Top of the list are Tribune (a NYT subsidiary and Dawn - at least the internet version).
Don’t we know the power of media? Whereas the Western media is very carefully making their case taking utmost care to promote their national interest, these planted people in our media are doing exactly the opposite!
An example is this top headline at this BS newspaper called Dawn (A copy-pasting entity which gets its stuff from WSJ Reuters, AP or whatever but mainly anything that is against Pakistan’s case):
The Americans are paying some people from our media for a long time, but still the media has not been able to change the feelings of majority of our people towards the Americans. There's a difference in western media as compared to ours, on the one side we have Raymond Davis issue and their so called independent media kept quiet till the very end in 'national interest'. On the other hand after Mumbai our government was saying that no Pakistani is involved there and geo was showing clips from his village.
Look it is not Dawn's fault or the Tribunes. They are merely posting news. I am happy to read it. Why? Because it reinforces my views that the Americans are specifically out to make Pakistanis miserable. The news is obviously false. The WSJ is a mouth piece for the right wing republican party. Any coverage of Afghanistan can show that.
This in general is good news, the Americans are on the backfoot to the extent they have to make up false news to defend themselves.
The Article is from the WSJ originally. They merely did a copy and paste because it is news on our end. That is all. The Tribune however is owned by the New York Times and thus shouldn't be trusted. Also some of its writers get paid by the US State department as exposed by the CSM a few months back.

well no one has been prosecuted for treason, I was just comparing the difference in journalism in a third world country and a country which projects itself as a beacon of freedom of expression and speech. When national interests come to play all these freedom of expression things are put into back burners (not only America check the record of all champions of democracy). Especially the reporting of all mainstream media on the lead up to Iraq attack regarding its nuclear weapons was pathetic...these so called investigative journalists kept posting whatever lies their governments were putting forward to them without investigating for themselves.

This is exactly the problem! They just copy paste any BS which is published by WSJ, NYT ow WP thus giving them some sort of attention or credibility that they do not remotely deserve!
I, or the majority of Pakistanis dont give tiny rat's a$$ about what WSJ, NYT or WP publishes, because we do not read them. But our sold media is just making us read that BS and this makes me really angry!
Both Tribune and Dawn have columnists whose sole purpose is to disrespect our religion or our country and this is un-acceptable!
I would like to see how US would react if there were few media outlets financed by Chinese!
I think Dawn probably still advertises the fact that it was founded by Jinnah, and it is known for its balanced and objective editorial policy. If you think some newspaper columnists sometimes take 'anti-Pakistan' stance then why not write to them or their newspapers and complain? If there are ample people objecting to those columns, then newspapers will take notice. That is MACS 101. There is not an ulterior motive behind everything. The reason why newspapers publish what they do is because there is an audience for that. That audience might not be you but there is an audience nonetheless in Pakistan that is open to views and perspectives that not everyone might find palatable.
