Catchy Tickers and blurbs http://search.jang.com.pk/latest/302392-all-parties-gathering-on-get-resignation-of-prime-minister-rana

Be it print or electronic media the issue remains in the fact that what media will highlight has no set rules.  Even if it is directly quoting the source,  it has a choice to play with the blurbs.
This present news about post Panama verdict scenario very well explains this fact. 
Tickers in the electronic media can be as catchy as these but the journalists will still have a point to say that these are the quoted words of a source. 
No one can blame journalists that they are framing the story in a tilted way. 
A way that is more sensationalist and less informative.
Buch such great allegations on media do need some research work.
