So much for tolerance of Free Media by the government. What is Great Zardari, the President of Pakistan, going to do about this statement from Governor of Punjab?

Taseer badmouths media, anchorpersons

Says TV hosts talk nonsense and media has become monster; Sherry says channels� protection is govt�s responsibility

RAWALPINDI: Federal Minister for Information & Broadcasting Sherry Rehman on Monday deplored the closure of **Geo transmissions in Karachi **and its suburbs citing some problems at the source of the cable network as the main cause of its going off air.

Sherry Rehman busy feeding BS to public. The reason of Geo going off air is more than likely political.

She was speaking in Geo TV�s talk show �Capital Talk�. Clips of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer�s conversation with Atiqa Odho were also shown by the programme host Hamid Mir wherein the governor vented his anger towards the TV channels saying the media in Pakistan has crossed all limits and become a monster.

Salmaan Taseer said the entire country had come under the clutches of the media, as �it does not let any government work smoothly.�

Yeah, shut down all media and let Salman Taseer gulp Pakistani resources a la Zardari/Nawaz Sharif.

@Aalsi

He went on to say that anchorpersons of these TV channels think of themselves as some godly figures. He said if they (TV anchorpersons) were in the West, they would have long been handcuffed and arrested.

So do our MNAs, governors and CMs. These governors, MNAs, CMs would’ve been in jails instead of assembly, governor house etc if they were in west.
