On the morning of 12th May, Pakistan was treated to another scalding editorial1 from The New York Times, this time demanding that the US put the squeeze on Pakistan. However, it is again clear to those who aren’t casual observers in Pakistan, that the Western media has little to no understanding of facts on the ground.
While the editorial board of The New York Times would like to paint Pakistan as the aggressor in the Indian sub-continent, as they have in the past, that is simply not the truth. Starting off an editorial with the words “the war in Afghanistan is raging and Pakistan deserves much of the blame” shows the lack of balance on the editorial board’s position.
