Have you seen IRI Index mindlessly projected by Pakistani channels? It infuriates me to no end when when “journalists” disregard national interest for cheap, free content (I am being kind to the channels by assuming profit motive, though there may well be ulterior motives). But I guess in a democracy with freedom of expression, there will always be blood curdling opinion expressed, and I guess we just have to live with that!

Various channels have made a news story out of IRI Index, survey conducted by International Republican Institute which can not be an objective, independent, “research” organization because they are affiliated with the administration that has sent their army to bomb Pakistan’s northern regions!
