Close Down GEO and Everything Will be Fine

By Gul Raiz • Dec 21st, 2009 • Category: Politics • 9 Comments

Honestly, if you don’t watch GEO Television, everything seems so routine and normal in the country and you don’t get bouts of frustration and agony and you don’t shudder that Pakistan will be no more in coming some weeks or the country won’t be engulfed in the civil war and we will be cutting each other’s throat.

When all this GEO Terrorism started during the era of Musharraf, many of us didn’t believe and listen to the saner elements who warned us about the propaganda and the lies being churned out  by some anchors and the media owners. In the flow, we lost certainty and stability and now as this government tries to fight the same issues in their own way, once again the same media group wants to dictate the terms and policy matters.

All these Shahid Masoods, Hamid Mirs, Shaheen Sehbais, Saleh Zafirs of this world were putting huge fear among the nation for some months that the December was coming and the 7th December will be cutoff date for the present regime. That date has long past. Even the expiry of NRO has passed. Even the verdict of NRO has come out. Nothing has changed on national horizon, while the same anchors are still croaking and giving new dates. Now Akram Sheikh  in the program of Shahid Masood has given two weeks for the change.

Government should get a heart and just close down this propaganda machine of GEO. Nobody in the masses will shed a tear for them.

  1. And Now GUL RIAZ

    ahh u kinda forget your name i though and there about to be more

  2. Bury your head in sand and everything is fine. Or as we say in Pushto when a bird is cornered by a cat the bird closes her eyes and thinks the cat disappeared. It wont repel the guilty verdict in the swiss case though.

  3. Why not close all other chanels, except PTV? Everything will be fine, or so you think!

  4. Gul you say
    Government should get a heart and just close down this propaganda machine of GEO. Nobody in the masses will shed a tear for them.

    I can modify your this sentences in many ways
    Government should get a heart a and try to do something real for public other than worst load shedding, huge fuel prices, creating shortages of food items. corruption backups, mess with Supreme court orders etc.Trust me if they would avoid 50% of such blunders Nobody in the masses will hear the voice of Geo.
    or another form of modification
    Government should get a heart and just close down this corruption machines of NRO people. Nobody in the masses will shed a tear of crocodiles for them if removed from offices.It is only PPP that is piling its blunders just to protect its unelected politically disable team.

    Government should get a big big heart and just close down this propaganda machines of fauzia whaib and Dr aishiq awan who comes on almost 7 to 8 channels daily other than GEO .
    Nobody in the masses will shed a tear for them if removed from office or it might improve some dying standard of PPP.In this deadly trap mostly woven by such people, PPP is ghastly losing its credibility.

    So it doesn’t matter for people of Pakistan that Geo close down or work as such as all are suffering due to mismanagement of this team not because of GEO.

  5. Gul, you are an idiot sir.

  6. Why ban the channel?!!? Let them continue their work, they are paid for this. There is nothing new as the same PPP whitch-hunting is on, through judiciary (liike ZAB), media and establishment. All this has clearly vindicated now that PPP is still the only anti-establishment party. Keep it up PPP.

  7. Pahlay tou apnaee aap sae nazaraen milyiya
    Phir chahaee hum par shouk sae tohmand lagayee

    Geo is a private channel, trying to cash in at Nations cost, and in that way its hearting the country more then its helping. 60 years of corruption and no governess will not change overnight. Thanks to Musharaff who gave voice to voiceless media after 55 years.
    Few of the big names or so called Journalist in jang group are working for enemies of Pakistan.

  8. Mr Gul U really deserve a big Thanku from nation as u have come up with a simple solution to their miseries.STOP WATCHING GEO.I wont say anything else.One can only mourn ur brains.

  9. I totally agree with Gul Riaz. I have no malice against Geo TV but I think that it is high time that Geo Channel should start looking at what they are doing with Pakistan. As there is a saying “It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country”. But some time they forget their duties as far as Pakistan is concern. What Geo does most of time is, they really shun Pakistan’s interest while reporting and especially its programs look like amphitheater. Anchors on Geo TV are well known agents of CIA and other democratic forces. They should realize their duties and work for Pakistan rather promoting Indian culture and Indian interests. It would be better if government takes them seriously.
