Re: Geo worker Haroon Leghari ends hunger strike
Yes indeed.
I have yet to see any western media channels show the dead bodies of terrorists or interview terrorist leaders (like Zarqawi say) right at the time when their military was in battle with them. There is no doubt that such channels would never do that, not only because they know it would be distasteful, but also that there would be a severe reaction from the authorities (and public).
Only Geo did that, and thereby entirely abuse the media freedoms granted to them by Musharraf. They were advised/warned by the govt to stop these kind of broadcasts, but they carried on regardless, so action had to be taken against them.
Just goes to prove President Musharaf gave media more Freedom than any other country.
