I'm surprised to see a few member's reply here at this thread, especially @
nuclearpak. I admit that our media as a whole is corrupt and should be handled properly. But if any media channel in Pakistan needs to be man handled, then its GEO for sure. ARY News is way more mature and patriotic as compared to Geo TV. Almost 90% of anti Pakistan or anti Army/ISI propaganda is done only at GEO.
I guess you guys have missed the story behind this case on ARY. BLA attacked Jinnah Residency in Ziarat and Geo + Jang Group pinched entire blame at ISI. PML-N kept their silence on the issue because they are allies of BLA in Baluchistan Govt and are always been their sympathizers, whether its BLA or Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.
But then BLA published video of Jinnah Residency attack claiming responsibility of the attack. As expected, PML-N didn't utter a word about BLA and SC didn't take any notice about the incident. It was ONLY ARY News who aired that attack video from BLA, exposing BLA, PML-N and SC. As a result they got furious on ARY, PEMRA issued show cause notice to ARY News, threatening them about cancellation of their license. Then SC took Sou Motto of ARY News airing the video. And then Baloch Govt filed an FIR against Owner and CEO, that too under bloody Anti-Terrorist Act, which are serious charges with severe punishments.
Now think rationally for once, all they did was airing BLA attack video. You can say that the video may not be appropriate to be shown at TV channel, but that video is already all over the world via internet so what's the problem airing it? And then see the chain of reactions against ARY News as a result. How on earth they can charge ARY News under Anti Terrorist Act for merely airing a video??
Cheap Justis didn't take Sou Motto against BLA attacking Jinnah Residency, but took notice of ARY News airing video on their channel..
