@WitchDr

Politically charged statement! Yesterday, even after live coverage was stopped, plenty of talk shows were hosted where a lot of commentary from the hosts and the opposition leaders were against Musharraf. Those programmes were not stopped from airing because they very exposing the “truth” against Musharraf.

Personally, I did feel in the past few weeks that independent channels are exploiting the independence given to them. I did feel bias, sensationalism, selective reporting done to promote business gains by these channels.

All over the world, there are restrictions on public discussions about tried cases in courts. It is not considered a case against freedom of press.

:k: Yup, and that is why the Supreme Court has warned Geo News and other media 3 times in the last 3 months to stop such stuff.
