@Polpot | 10 years ago | Reply Um, no. Just go away. Express Tribune is ours. Ours! (I love you, ET. No worries if few people are reading you. The few that do truly treasure the views you so courageously express. One suggestion: Instead of quoting directly from AP or Reuteurs, give news a Pakistani twist before publishing it. i.e, a Pakistani viewpoint or perspective/analysis) ET Zindabad. Good work making this presentation - I am blown away. One of a kind.
