Government Views

edit

PTV News is known for being positively government biased and mostly it doesn't give any attention or publicity to opposition parties. It also rarely invites any opposition party representative in talk shows. Almost the day it broadcasts government side views and propagates their narrative. However, it shows a positive and progressive image of a country, society, culture, and people.[2]
