That make me think about the blasts again...
Yesterday, GEO spent almost 1 hour to bring "Live" pictures of the scene, however, the live pictures were not that ALIVE afterall as it was repeating the same old things...
To me the most surprising part is, the news reporter was speaking like expert-in-Explsovies... hence not ready to wait for govt.'s view on the same and was forcing HIS views on us.
Other thing is, the same news reporter was seems to bit disappointed by the fact that the blasts have not claimed any human Life...
On the other hand, like you said, there was a missle attack on the northern areas of Pakistan claiming life of few,BBC was their and said that there in no independent confirmation for the killing of the Al-Qaida members, but not geo niether its reporters were there to report the incident, although they were running a slide saying an important Al-qaida members is dead in Missle Attack...
This behaviour have raised questions on the credibility of the News Channel itself...
