Pakistani Student letter to GEO NEWS

[Pioneerfirst]

GEO is always supporting terrorists indirectly.All its talkshows specially Hamid Mir's one always talk about negatives of Pakistan state and Govt.In this way they are supporting terrorist morally.
Imagine,they can record the statement of TTP bomb attack claims but have never asked why they are do this or discouraged them by asking tough questions as they ask to other Govt officials.

Same people will ridicule same channel if opposite happens, same student will rant why channel is not focussing on real issues Pakistan is facing today. Pakistanis are not concerned about profound effect of negativity on their people's psyches, they are more concerned about hiding whats happening in Pakistan to outside world. Some people are just not ready to accept that sanctuaries of terrorism exist in Pakistan, hence you get desperate and need to resort to such cheap shots on media.

Geo is the most Shirarti channel of Pakistan. The best thing to do is to stop watching it if you don't like it. There are dozen other channels.

BTW, has anyone noticed the frequency of India TV programs on GEO and similar channels. The pathetic channels can't even make their own programs and buy stuff from outside.

Look at the underlined word, which means that either some of you want to hide the fact that he is a Pakistani or you are angry that the truth was out.

and to the topic, this is not only in Pakistan, Media is playing a bad role all over the world in every developing nation. Only in a very few countries like Israel the media is good.

No it doesn't mean that. You are thinking too much!
It is a simple question. Don't derail the thread.

Every morning, I wish to know whats the latest going on in my country. I want to hear fresh news about development and progress of my nation which gives me motivation to work hard. If I were to get a glimpse of this fresh news, my day would be beautiful, encouraging and happier. So I switch to many national and international news channels on my laptop and TV. One of the most popular ones, is GEO TV.

As soon as I type "www.geo.tv" in my firefox, I get a bluish color cast page with links and links and links all over. Some news are national and some international. The header says "GEO Television Network, JEETAY RAHO". This two words are common in Pakistan when your loved ones keep a hand on your head and say "Jeetay Raho" as a well wish. But when I read it on your website, it sounded like a curse. Why? Because whenever I log on to the website for news, I get a sack full of bloody conspiracies, bombings, corruption, drugs, murder, failure, accident and much more. Okay Okay yeah yeah I know this all happens.. well what about the other aspect of the story? What about the latest technologies emerging in Pakistan? What about the giant software and hardware development companies? What about researches going on in Universities? What about the great construction works ? What about the amazing natural beauties our country has? What about the unity and culture of our people? What about all the other sports activities free of corruption happening everyday all over the place? How about a documentry about AQ Khan? What about a documentry on the Founder of the nation? How about showing some of the most successfull uncorrupted engineers of Pakistan serving abroad? How about interviewing thousands of Pakistanis working in huge oil companies such as Schlumberger and Microsoft? What about showing the real picture of how morals and ethics are taught in our madrassas? How about showing the amazing thirst for education in our youth all over the place? And the list goes on...

Instead you show and portray all the negative issues going on in the country while it is under a lot of foreign pressure. You continously show looped CCTV footage of bomb blasts and blood shed. You show stupid speeches and comments given by foolish people such as Meera or Farooq Sattar and repeat it over and over again, to be shown all over the world. Your journalists have no ethics or manners and your anchors talk vulgar. Your programs are based on useless discussions. You started GEO DOST to encourage youth all over the coutry to send you videos of rights and wrongs going on in the country, but did you ever show the RIGHTS? Instead you show every tids and bits of nonsense that every nation does have to a certain extent, but you guys just throw it over and over again. You never defend our great sportsmen but always blame them or focus on people critisizing them. There is always chaos that you spread amongst people. But, I do give you the credit for one thing: Most often you cover great stories which are beneficial for humanity all over the world. Such as "3 dears ran away from the Lahore zoo", "PIA Flights got delayed" and "Women gives birth during traffic jam". Amazing!

Not only that you spread hoplessness and chaos, but you also have lost your own identity. The TV Dramas and entertainment programs that you show are all based and copied from Indian media who doesn't have anything to do with Islam or even their own religions. Your dramas are becoming vulgar day by day. Instead of showing the youth the right way of living, working, and getting civilized, you teach them how to make girl friends and how to get addicted to drugs. Nudity is spreading like slow poison all over your face. You have removed all aspects of culture and religion from your media. A large number of your dramas deviate youth from religion and ethics.

Media is the strongest tool of a nation. It changes the way people think. When the jews took over America's economy, one of their leaders said "Give me the media and I will give you the people". This is the true power of media. But when it falls under false hands, or gets controlled, it can result in disasters such as your channel. When I had haircuts as a kid, I never thought of whether blade of the razor should be new for every person who comes in the barber shop. No one thought of it. After some time there was an informational advert on all channels which showed how disease can spread if the same blade is used for more than one person. All of a sudden, there was a change all over the country and now even the tiniest of barber shops follow this rule. Not only the barbers but the people. It was the same average Pakistani who you say is corrupt or narrowminded or backward. But you see, this is how media, if properly directed, can improve the standard of living for a common man. It can change mentalities. But you guys are far from this. I have no objection with people who call you controlled or insane. Because even if you are not puppets, YOU DO ACT LIKE ONE! Every country has rights and wrongs going on, but it's the responsibility of Media to defend the image. Ever thought of what you guys are really doing? Or sitting in your big offices, travelling back and forth in your luxurious cars has blinded your eyes from whats going on. Are you really deaf and dumb as mentioned in the Holy Book or you just like acting so? Do you have any control on what you are doing? Isn't it your responsibility to consolidate the nation? To bring focus on similarities rather than differences? I truly pity on your condition.

This is not an appeal as I know you must have received thousands of similar emails and may be you wont even look at this one. Its just that being a Pakistani and being a student, I wanted to raise my voice and say, what I think, is in the hearts of our people. I am proud to be a Muslim and a Pakistani no matter what you do or show. Your childish acts only affect the weak and even they know deep down in their hearts about your hidden agendas.

Remember that you will fall and its only a matter of time.

Long Live Islam and Pakistan! May ALLAH save us from Evil and help us all. Ameen!

sorry sir whenever people are getting in large numbers in streets we cant blind ourselves and start promoting funny and so called good things this thing will increase our promblems not decrease it

 

[Zarvan]

The same channel who also claim every time "TTP accept responsibility" (our sources). After many hours similar news will come on the rest of media ...

The same channel who also talking about AMAN KE ASHAAN (Bullshit)

I think Aman ki ASHA GADARO ki Bhasha but sir when bomb blasts are taking place in your country you don't report other things because people are getting killed on streets and you have to save him so more than 90 percent of reporting will be of these things what GEO should do is stop being the slave of india and should stop promoting their culture

 

[emoriphious]

Geo TV is " Jew TV "

 

[MuZammiL Dr. s[1]n]

Is this the same channel who proved that Ajmal Kasab is Pakistani?

yes bro. , you are right

 

[Jango]

i have been saying this for a long time!!!, the media in our country always potrays the bad stuff, i am not saying that they should not display things like corruption of officials or other things, all i am trying to say is that media should also encourage a bit of positive things, like the guy of the google taxi, or a potrayal of the tourist attractions in pakistan etc.

 

[mymeaningislion]

dear friends..... thanks to the starter of this thread i my self believe.....that when u are in trouble instead of shouting and blaming keep your head cool as shouting and weaning is not the solution and yes we have terrorism but promoting negative image which our so called media does creates frustration often leads to root of mistrust and anarchy that eventually leads to destabilization.........gentlemen i suggest specially to youth that we have to stay on our toes, ready ,.......and we have to play a vital role in building and safe guarding this country by spreading awareness among people......not that our media negatively portraits...... try to create harmony with people who are suppressed through cast system and class as well.....i myself reject all this cast system and i am just a human being and Muslim living in Pakistan....... work for better society ..follow teachings of Islam... and reject each and every thing that is against our Islamic moral values.....

society is not dependent on economy rather on values and ethics that it possess and undertakes............

 

[W.11]

the channel who showed 'ajmal kasab village'

the boy is right geo is out of its mind, i mean why are they showing things in their drama which serve as spoilers to our children, nudity etc, this is really disturbing trend in our media, good old days of pak saab ptv are gone, our media has become napak media

GEO is always supporting terrorists indirectly.All its talkshows specially Hamid Mir's one always talk about negatives of Pakistan state and Govt.In this way they are supporting terrorist morally.
Imagine,they can record the statement of TTP bomb attack claims but have never asked why they are do this or discouraged them by asking tough questions as they ask to other Govt officials.

the journalists come on to the tv and be themselves, its not one channel supporting the views of some journalists, get some education, there are also people like asma jhangir, pervez hoodbhoy and india famous najam sethi on geo tv

dear don't speak in clouds of hatred..... why do you think that we pakistanis dont want peace and every thing we do is wrong? and how u conclude that india has nothing to do with destabalization in pakistan...... dear instead of being negative think neutrally.......and if you want to analyze try to put your self in others boot..... and as far as our media is concern i have done some specific investigation and have found shocking results as most of journalists serving in GEO have very humble back ground but now they possess property and business worth millions with a period between 2 to 3 years... they have foreign bank accounts....... as soon as i complete it i will share it and it will clearly show how your and american govt fund and respond to GEO channel.......
