>These people's outlandish claims will go unchallenged and will be etched into global media's output.
Can you tell me which claim is outlandish in this story? The appeal for positive news? The killing of the journalist?

>Pakistanis are addicted to 'conspiracy' theories and he who can garner most attention in this circle will ultimately get most media limelight within Pakistan and hence most money.
I'm not sure the conspiracy theories about the US and/or the Jews gets people much money. In my experience, those who most vociferously push them in Pakistan are usually those with the least money.
>Pakistan is a simpleton Country and Society in many respects and it is quiet easy to herd the masses and profit out of it.
They've had far too many people killed by mob violence. Someone I personally know was severely beaten by a mob on the basis of a rumor (thankfully not killed). Yes, if by profit you mean gain the upper hand in a personal vendetta by the one spreading the rumor, I can see your point.
