Bilawal recently tweeted an old video of an interview of Edhi, in which he says that he was threatened by Imran Khan. Bilawal implied that Edhi was referring to the current PM. But, as has been stated numerous times since the video first surfaced, Edhi was actually referring to General Imranullah Khan.
What I find odd is that most, if not all the major media organizations carried the story of the tweet without clarifying that Edhi was referring to a different IK. Even after Bilawal was corrected on twitter and elsewhere, none of these media organizations retracted their story, or called out Bilawal for lying. Last I checked, his tweet had not been deleted either.
I know the common perception is that most media organizations are dishonest, have vested interests, etc. But is it really that bad? Are there no honest or fair news organizations or journalists in the country?
