India hates Pakistan. Knowing this, it’s hard not to take what they have to say about Pakistan’s politics with a grain of salt.

Lots of Pakistani journalists publish in Indian newspapers due to censorship in Pakistan. Just about every English language Indian newspaper has a column published by senior Pakistani journalists and press offices in every major city in Pakistan.

There's a very healthy cross-border journalism ecosystem in South Asia.

You need to look a bit deeper. Dawn journalists are not bastions of journalistic integrity. They’re mostly on the pmln pay roll.

Which Indian newspaper has press offices in "every major city in Pakistan"?

> Lots of Pakistani journalists publish in Indian newspapers due to censorship in Pakistan.

Nonetheless, Indian media has consistently shown to provide either outright false news, or very exaggerated facts to suit Indian narrative. One example is :

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/12/11/eu-ngo-report-unco...

> The researchers said they had “uncovered an entire network of coordinated UN-accredited NGOs promoting Indian interests and criticising Pakistan repeatedly. We could tie at least 10 of them directly to the Srivastava family, with several other dubious NGOs pushing the same messages.”

Trusting any content from an Indian news source about Pakistan without corroboration is entirely like trusting Russia when it's talking about the Ukraine War.

Indian print media (The Indian Express is a print publication first and foremost), in my experience, has very legitimate journalism. Most of the vitriol from both sides happens on TV news, not print, and is manufactured for generating views.

It's a lot more nuanced than India hating Pakistan. Discrediting a newspaper for being Indian doesn't seem like the right approach - it's the equivalent of dismissing any and all news on Russia or China by American papers. Should the NYT or WSJ reporting on Putin and Xi be ignored for the sole idea that the US hates these countries?

[morbidious]

By that logic, given that USA hates Russia, what American news media reports on Russia should also be taken with a grain of salt.
