Our heads of state don't mind bribing journalists and anchors to not speak against them. There are tons of examples in main stream media. He happens to be one of them. When media plays such an important role in developing image of the govt, these journalists can be bought to act in line with the govt. Again paying 4 million in Pakistan is a wise investment since it may not be a wise thing to do in US, Uk or the rest of the world. In Pakistan, loads of people are for sale. You just have to come up with the right price.
