Timorlane | 8 years ago | Reply I'd congratulate ET for its coverage as no other media outlet could place the news perhaps being too busy with political cacophony. ET is the only media outlet in Pakistan that recognizes and accommodates opinions from all sides including tolerating criticism on itself which is totally rare in Pakistani media working.
