Re: Media curbs relaxed - some Private TV channels back on air
No but crap media like GEO was unable to spread ciaos in early days of the emergency which were really important for consolidation. Just imagine what GEO and Shahid Masood would have done....
Here is an example
GEO was running a news ticker that "ARMY HAS ENTERED INTO SUPREME COURT AND TOOK ALL JEDGES UNDER ARREST" (they ran that whole day) BUT I was lucky enough to catch the LIVE REPORT OF GEO's reporter from INSIDE SUPREME COURT at the same moment reporting that "ITS ALL QUITE IN SUPREME COURT, ALL JUDGES ARE INSIDE THE COURT AND HAVE LOCKED THE DOOR. ARMY OR ANY OTHER FORCES HAVE NOT ENTERED THE BUILDING YET"
What do you call this ? at minimum it can be called IRRESPONSIBLE REPORTING at very serious and important moment. By banning this crap media, Mush was able to stop them from increasing their viewer ship by false and irresponsible reporting and harm Pakistan.
Yep that is so true. Geo news correspondents like Shahid Masood and Ansar Abbasi were telling so much lies on Emergency Day, that they could not keep up with their lies, especially as reporters onsite were contradicting the crap they were spewing sitting in Dubai or the studios.
