Press TV of Iran propagating faulty news about Pakistan

ISLAMABAD Nov 17, 2018: It would not be an exaggeration to say that the media likes to sensationalise the news. Bad things happen at every nook and corner of the world but when it comes to Pakistan few segments of international media take to a level which is simply disgusting, sometimes even gas cylinder explosions become an act of terrorism for many media outlets of different countries. Same happened today 17 November 2018 when Press TV of Iran propagated a video giving an impression of terrorist attack when originally it was a gas cylinder explosion in a local market of Karachi. Press TV in it’s social post mentioned that there were several deaths as a result of the explosion but actually there were two people who lost there lives (By no means someone can call 2 people as several). As falsehoods spread like wildfire on social media, getting quicker and longer-lasting pickup than the truth, the video went viral .
