Did you not read the article?
Press TV are not the original source.
They are one of the various sources to report this, Press TV being one of them. Read the thread again if you want to know where the original source came from.

I must have missed the meeting where it was decided that the state is more untrustworthy than private ownership
Last time I checked, the American mainstream media is owned and run by pro-Israeli lobbyists (or to be less formal, Jews).
Seriously, I don't get the logic that private media is somehow trust worthy and state-run media isn't.

An anonymous ISI officer purportedly quoted in a Pakistani daily. I mentioned that in my post, I think. I also explained why an ISI officer wouldn't say this to the press if it were true, why an ISI officer might say this to the press if it were false, and why anonymous sources are less credible than named sources testifying under oath.

For Ummat, this should make things interesting.
Ummat is still translated today at BBC Monitoring, and described as "Karachi-based pan-Islamist pro-Bin-Ladin Urdu daily critical of US, Israel, India". source vetusa.com/news-story/164332571

Her career was forged in the violent creation of Israel. Both her parents were arrested for terrorist crimes in the 1940s. Her mother Sarah, who died recently aged 85, was a leader of Irgun, the militant Zionist group that operated in Palestine at the time of the British mandate and whose exploits included train robbery.
“I was disguised as a pregnant woman and robbed a train carrying £35,000,” she said in an interview shortly before she died. “Then we blew up another train en route from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.”
Livni’s father, Eitan, was sentenced to 15 years in jail for attacking a British military base. He escaped.
Tzipi Livni, was a Paris agent for Mossad, Israel’s overseas intelligence agency, in the early 1980s when it ran a series of missions to kill Palestinian terrorists in European capitals, according to former colleagues.
They say Livni, now foreign minister, was on active service when Mamoun Meraish, a senior official in the Palestine Liberation Organisation, was shot dead by a Mossad hit squad in Athens on August 21, 1983. She was not directly involved in the killing, in which two young men on a motorcycle drew alongside Meraish’s car and opened fire, but her role in Mossad remains secret.
Livni joined Mossad after leaving the army with the rank of lieutenant and completing a year at law school. From her base in Paris she travelled throughout Europe in pursuit of Arab terrorists.
“Tzipi was not an office girl,” said an acquaintance. “She was a clever woman with an IQ of 150. She blended in well in European capitals, working with male agents, most of them ex-commandos, taking out Arab terrorists.”
Ziva David (pronounced dah-VEED) is a former Israeli Mossad officer. Previously assigned to NCIS as a Liaison Officer for Mossad, Ziva is now an NCIS agent and a U.S. citizen. When Ziva first appeared, she was trying to stop Gibbs from killing her half-brother, Ari Haswari, who had killed Caitlin Todd and was attempting to kill Gibbs' other agents. In the end, Ziva killed Ari, saving Gibbs, and took Kate's place at NCIS.

Private media organizations in the West, for instance, frequently criticize Western leaders and provide alternative narratives to the official line. Iran's state-run media does not.
