although m no supporter of MQM but it is wrong when you say altaf gets undue coverage, i regularly watch news tv channels and most of the time they cover what zardari and nawaz sharif said and they cover them both whenever they hold a conference a jalsa etc and same goes for PMLQ .
i used to feel way you said but calculating time i found they arent getting undue share but it seems to us due to our peception about the MQM and it is compounded due to dumb headed speeches and style.
