You started a good topic, how the media in the U.S talk about CIA or FBI. We all know or agree with this, the media don't start any sort of demeaning and humiliating war against those organizations. The intelligence agencies are given the very high level in the society. Any sort of news or story runs in the media after their approval. There is one such case in which a newspaper leak out CIA informant in the White House and that journalist has to be imprisoned by the court of law. Is there any court of law in Pakistan who can prosecute Geo News?
You cannot pick and choose where to emulate USA and where not to. To get the sort of respect agencies get here will also need an effective democratic government, strict rule of law, an open and engaged society and a vibrant and independent media. Create those first and respect for the agencies will follow too.
They humiliated and demeaned a higher functionary of the state. If Geo would be in the U.S it was banned by this time and all its owners would be imprisoned.
Reporting on one of the biggest functionary of the state like this is a crime.
Humiliated? How? A story being run has relevant photos and graphic shown on screen as standard practice. Showing a photo of the DG-ISI was entirely appropriate while the allegations made by the victim were being broadcast. How is that a crime?
