Personally I would agree. This is twisting statement. He was, quite obviously, speaking with a different context and manner however I would say that this is nothing compared to the statement twisting exhibited and is continuously being exhibited by your media. From statements highlighted without context to statements changed and twisted which leads to massive distrust of the opposing source. For example I disregard everything reported by any news outlet from India simply bcz when you twist a statement to exaggerated heights, it becomes a lie and when it becomes a lie, it becomes false reporting.
I am not going to say our media is not sensationalist nor jingoistic.
At one point the media was a bastion of truth and journalists would battle and out their lives at risk to publish the truth. Now it has become a business of TRPs and ratings and to get higher and higher on the graph. To do that sensationalism comes to play and with both sides having free media, it takes to new heights.
I would like to inform you of a funny event. Some few months ago nawaz going to Saudi Arabia and media played a clip of him entering the airport of Saudis with hamza. Now Imran khan picked this up and said why is hamza there and under what authority he wasted the tax payers money. Turned out that hamza never left pakistan and was in pakistan and the media has played an old clip.
I think that south Asian media needs drastic reforms in the journalistic sector. The question is how to bring it?
In the words of
@Oscar that the reports of media and posters are not official statements nor do they hold any water.
