Forbes - Why Is This Man Banned For Life From Pakistani TV?

[VCheng]

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...

I was referring to censorship, of which there is none. You are referring to a totally different issue, which also has known work-around.

Pakistan still has a ban on YouTube, ferchrissakes!

Pakistani judiciary is one of the most corrupt institutions in Pakistan. It has always been the judiciary that have given the dictators free hand, now they are giving free hands to terrorists which were captured by Police, Rangers and the Armed Forces. Someone needs to deal with this corrupt institution, the people in there thinks they are above the law.

This judiciary is a fraud. They can take Sou motu against an actress carrying Alcohol but millions of Pakistanis have been waiting for justice for decades. What a pathetic joke.

It censors media which ironically witnessed greater freedom of speech under Gen Musharaf.

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

There was more coverage of the OBL raid, than the 9/11.

And yes, i do follow US News very very closely.

But there was fair and extensive coverage of the 9/11 fiasco too.

I don't agree with Bans on GEO either.

Shameless hypocrisy is a well-known national trait, top to bottom. Nothing new here.

Ok man whatever floats your boat.

Apparently that was sarcasm, so it's ok.

No, it is not okay. We must fix this.

It is sad to see our own antics such as these make Pakistan a laughingstock in the world's eyes. This fools no one but ourselves. And there are very few left who would even speak out, for this delusion is nationwide. Those who do are attacked and ridiculed with overt or covert support by those who really should know better.

The lukman guy is arrogant and stupid .. and power had gone to is head. I dont know why news achors are semi celebrities in pakistan.. who give everyday sermons to pakistanis.
But I dont think anybody can ban a journalist... you can ban a program.. or a channel .. or if there is specific criminal activity, you can even jail the person.
But banning to host a show is a attack on free press (although the guy more or less deserves to be banned..thats not the point).

Does that include you or you are immuned to the 'hypocrisy'?

 

[Irfan Baloch]

And if the subject matter relates to the military's actions above the law? As I said before, being selective in such matters destroys one's credibility, totally and utterly.

babu .. you bring that matter to the court. if a court hearing is about the alleged rigging in a certain election the would you bring up the charges of Haj corruption in front of the judge or bring up the charges against Gen Baig for bribing Nawaz Sherif? the Judge will have you kicked out of the court and put a hefty fine for going bonkers.

I apply the same standards to myself first before holding others to them too.

So how did that work out in the Missing Persons Case? The military behaves as if above them all.

When you literally give maa behan ki gaali live on TV and then give threats and dare to take action against him as if he is immune from all the ills. One day enough will be enough

I dislike this guy not because he used to hate one party and then suddenly fell in love with it over night and now official spokesman of that party but the simple fact that the only purpose he is serving on TV is to give live threats, abuse and represent one political party.

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

The present conviction is just as valid or invalid as the one forced upon HM and Geo. The same system, the same results, the same validity.
