[Pakistani shaheens]

Kuj Sheher De Lok Vi Zaalim San

He is ban because, he talked about the sitting judges and their families on live Tv.
At last Lahore high court senior judge took sou moto action, and impose ban on him,
He is not ban because he crticise only one sigment of Politicians! and in 99% of his program mes are only on those politicians, who not suit's our establishment.

you need to read up. why do you ask others to do your homework.

or you really are making a statement hidden as a question.

2nd one.

why was he put on the ECL ? just cuz he comes on TV and says something gov doesn't agree with ?

By balanced I meant being fair. You criticize the government, good, but you cant leave the opposition alone. Here by opposition I mean PTI, when you bring out the corruption and violence of just the ruling party or their unofficial allies you also need to show the wrongdoings of oppostion. We know things have happened in KPK. He should have done programs on them too. Thats where he wasnt fair or balanced.

so...?

if someone is not what YOU call "fair" or "balanced", you put a ban on him and put him on the ECL ?

freedom of speech vary from the national security ... Hamid mir is disgrace to Pakistan unlike Mubasir ...
if freedom of speech is so important the concept of national security is lost forever ... have you ever see any journalist visit Guantanmo bay jail ? freedom is good but only if it remains in limits ..

Guantanamo bay has been covered by US media to death....And journalists have visited guantanamo bay....it has been all over cnn, bbc, fox, etc etc....

where were you sleeping?

One more nail in the coffin of Pakistan's ''democracy''......

I do believe in independent and fair journalism, and free media. But this is not free media, this is paid media. I can pay the news networks heavy amounts and get whatever trash i want. While, banning Mubashir Lucman will not stop the problem, perhaps, it will deter others.

If you read my previous posts I've condemned the ban, was explaining what a balanced journalist in my view is to Irfan baloch

 

[A.Rafay]

The question here is even more fundamental than that. Why should the right to free speech be infringed to begin with?

Only a fool would believe that theres freedom of speech in Pakistan!

why shouldn't someone be allowed to say what ever they want on their channel?

lets say I'm a rich guy and I have a certain opinion, if I setup my own TV channel that shows my point of view, is that wrong?

Freedoms are fought for, no one gives them to you with an omelette.

Because national/international television can create problems that one cannot see beforehand. Try pissing off CIA/US Government in the US Media? How many times have we heard about the detailed failure of CIA/NSA on 9/11?

There were very public hearings on the 9/11 failures that are part of the record, widely covered by major media.

many times....There's even a russian state owned channel (in direct control of russian gov.) operating in USA and worldwide without a problem....it's called Russia Today....

And millions in america are watching it....even US administration acknowledges its popularity and even see it as a threat. So what do they do? Do they ban it? Nope, it's still running and they show not only 9/11 stuff but anti-CIA, anti-NSA and pro wiki-leaks shows etc etc...

And PressTV and Al-Jazeera, plus all the stuff on an open an uncensored Internet.

So were you for or against the ban on Geo? Your present claims are contrary to your past record. Can you please clarify?

there are still some privacy issues....all that NSA tracking and now they've managed to find a way around Tor as well....Tor is not completely compromised, thought its not completely anonymous anymore....

but still, no comparison with pakistan, where you say one anti-gov slogan on TV and you're on ECL...do the same on the street and you're shot....pathetic...
