ali | 10 years ago | Reply media all over the world is target of countries and groups that want to buy and snub the other side. Pakistani medias very biased reporting of the ongoing sectarian war, in which shia victims are highlighted and focused far more than the sunni victims of Shia terrorists is appalling and needs to be corrected. If Iran is funding Pakistan media than the govt should intervene and trace the money chain.
