Re: Hamid Mir shot and injured
I’m not a very patriotic person but you should open your eyes; Hamid Mir had armed body guards but none of them were hurt nor did they retaliate, nor was his driver hurt, and it’s been 5 days since he was attacked yet neither him nor anybody from family has filed an FIR for an investigation.
Geo News has always been anti-Pakistan, they’re like the polar opposite of Zaid Hamid; they’re other popular anchor Najam Sethi was a marxist(just like Hamid Mir’s father and other anti-state figures), he took part in the Balochistan rebellion and one of their other popular contributors is Asma Jehangir, who is known to be anti-Pakistan and she even met with Shiv Sena leader critiquing the Pakistani army of Indian soil.
Geo was exposed last year for their propaganda about their whole ****ty ‘Aman ki Asha’ campaign.

Najam Sethi’s background was covered in article by Nadeem F.Paracha:

The problem in Pakistan is that if anybody questions the media, or questions what most pseudo-liberals believe is to be true, they write you off as a ‘conspiracy nut’ like Zaid Hamid, or a ‘Jihadi nationalist’.
I’m all for free press, but if a certain segment of the media is toxic and harms the country, so it is appropriate to it shut down for the greater good of the people, but it should be shut down under legal grounds, similar to how the News of the world was shut down in England on legal grounds for phone hacking, so the judiciary should find a way shut down the Geo network.
