One of the most read English newspaper of Pakistan, "The News" , controlled from Karachi projects mainly the views of liberals and so-called enlightened moderates. The bearded Muzaffar Iqbal is one of the lucky ones to find space in this prestigious paper. Articles of Masooda Bano are published under sub-heading 'dissenting note'. Writers like me who at times show mirror to the liberal brigade cannot think of getting even one article published particularly after Omar Qureshi took over the charge of editorial wing in mid-2006.
