PPP comes out against Geo.

[VCheng]

yes and freedom of expression must not be used to lie.

That is where the rules come in, but it must be clear that expressing a difference of views and opinions is not lying, it is only disagreement. Lies, if alleged, must be proven by evidence with due process, and only then corrective actions taken as needed.

ofcourse, I perfectly understand propaganda. its a right, and not a lie.

There is nothing better to stop propaganda by counter-propaganda. That is how the game is played.

ofcourse, but again the media houses must not forget rules of the game, nor loose up on ethics.

That is the job of PEMRA to enforce the rules fairly.

 

[Slav Defence]

Freedom of speech is permitted, abuse of freedom is not. Freedom never means absence of law but rather it is unanimous agreement of a society on boundaries and punishment for breaching them.

Geo has grown taller than it could sustain.. I will be happy to see it getting into a size which it can manage itself and we are talking about 0.0 meters tall.

Guess what, geo seems to have more enemies than friends!

true. and boycott is also a right of anyone. demanding ban is not.

I dont suppose this has anything to do with Geo's tiff with Imran Khan that has developed recently. We all have our holy cows that we go all out to defend with single pictures. Apparently, Geo put together a rather interesting montage of Imran Khan being a politician; which involves being hypocritical on his stands and statements. Since then, PTI fan base has gone bezerk.

Ironically, the clip geo showed of Khursheed Shah had him commenting on false accusations on Geo by Imran Khan.. but that is the idea of spin doctoring the news.

Personal boycotts are just fine. But boycotts that fail should also be understood about what they imply.

As long as the montage is factually correct, it should raise though-provoking questions, not protests.

we should ban geo and get this over with....

meaning thereby ?

 

[JanjaWeed]

Reminds me of that classic say...behti ganga mein haath dhona. Public mood is against Geo and every political party wants to earn mileage out of it. Doesn't matter what their stand was in the past. Talking against Geo has two advantages at the moment... You will be in the good books of PA & gain public sympathy too. Why would a political party wants to miss out on this unique opportunity?

 

[VCheng]

If Geo remains as the top viewer's choice, then it clearly shows that the tall claims made about the nation being offended by its recent coverage were all false.

That is the best way people can make themselves heard. I have no problem with that.
