GEO television came up as the first privately owned news channel in Pakistan and changed the way we look at news from around the world and in particular from within the country itself. They take pride in being the freedom loving, right supporting, impartial news channel but are they really what they say they are?
Pessimism is the major ingredient of their news coverage, half of which is simply not true. They don't verify their stories and push them to the breaking news segment just to add more confusion. 30-40% of their news content is a syndication of whats happening in bollywood or in India - giving you that strange feeling. They superimpose images of politicians on cartoons and run songs in the background (clearly libel) which frankly is making fun of the whole system. Their shows are extremely overrated and their news coverage is full of sensational hodgepodge. Don't you think they're crossing the line? And every time someone holds them accountable, they cry in the name of freedom. I believe there should be a check and balance system put in place, an independent media monitoring organization that could keep them neat and tidy. So, do you think this ratings and viewership hungry channel is crossing the line? |

Im agree with you Endurer and the only one thing which i hate most they ( GEO ) propagate and want to dilute Indian culture in Pakistanti Nation. Pakistan has own identity and we completly different from Indians whcih was the main cause of Indo-Pak sepration. Apart from some gainful and knowledgeful programme like Capital Talk and Mere Mutabiq, I hate rest of other programmes which you have been metioned earlier in your coulm. I strongly condemn person's disgrace like ( Inzamam and other players ) funny programme and Geo must have to stop such type of stupid programmes.

Absolutely, it's a shame how they made fun of Inzamam with their moronic cartoons. I'd disagree with you on capital talk and mere mutabik though. They're good if one's looking for gossip or cynicism but in all honestly, they are one dimensional, they lack objectivity, are biased, and above all, incite more pessimism than our politicians could muster. The shows on AAJ TV (Live with Talat & Bolta Pakistan) are more analytical than what GEO has to offer. PS: GEO has followed suit (read: ripped off) with Left Right as an answer for Bolta Pakistan.
I heard that GEO was kicked out of Dubai Media City and they now have moved their HQ to Pakistan. |

Yeah you all are right, GEO and other news channel in the name of freedom of media, crossing thier limits and make the news tidy. If we talk about the news channel like BBC, CNN, they are also free, infact freedom of media was initiate from these channel, but they never ever make fun of thier politicians and celebrities.
I also hate, especially Geo for thier makking fun of the celebrities. |

It's been widely reported (or speculated, for that matter) k iske karta dharta kuch aur hi hien. What disgusts me is k yeh media kese ghunda gardi kerta hai. Aaj inko koi criticize kare, kal yeh usko hi news mein ragar dete hien.
