yestoday i was watching geo and they were advising people not to go pakistan, i think they are obsessed with everything anti-pak.

allama iqbal was against free media, and we can see why now, our media is controlled by cia and jews for the objectives of spreading disinformation about pakistan being a failed state, taliban taking over, nuclear bombs in mullahs hands etc.

Suhaib

Why are you imposing your illiteracy on Allama Iqbal. Free media is the guarantee of our liberty.

By the way we love Geo. It stood by the nation when it was needed for justice.

Soon he would say Allama Iqbal was against Geo and you know why?

suhaib replied on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 05:43 PM 

go and read ibless ke majlis e shura, iqbal was clearly against democracy and free media and called it a circus. go and open your eyes.

Suhaib, even if Allama Iqbal was against MEDIA... You dont need a brainer to recognize the difference between the media of 1920's and 2009. There was no TV, only one or two Radio stations which were also under the influence of the Govt of that time and few newspapers. How can you possibly compare the two.

Iqbal's thought were probably right for his age but now we are living in an age of Information technology...we have mobile phones (sms media), internet, 100+ TV channels both international and local, numerous radio channels so on and so forth.

Your comment reminds me of a advertising campaign run a few years ago on National Savings certificates...the ad slogan was "Quaid e Azam advised people to invest in National Savings, therefore every Pakistani should invest in them" but what everyone forgets is that we live in an age of phone banking, internet banking and ppl have so many investment choices from local bourses to international, from manufacturing to trading...therefore you cant compare the two... I hope you understand

Geo is very bad. Supporting one party (pmln)and scared from altaf hussain and extremists.
media should be neutral .

RP replied on Thursday, March 19, 2009 09:08 AM 

I guess Iqbal may be refering to you when he mentioned Iblees.

Actually Iblees wants to make people powerless and a slave to mullahs instead of making them powerful.

Shakeel replied on Thursday, March 19, 2009 09:21 AM 

RP your attitude same like a kochwan .

RP replied on Thursday, March 19, 2009 11:49 AM 

I am very happy to be called a Kochwan as there is nothing wrong in this profession.

I certainly cant lef off the hook those Mulla Fazlu Shaitan type politicians who use religion to snatch people's freedom and justice.

yes! there are some certain concerns about Pakistani media,freedom is not bad it must be given and should prevail for every body, whereas media concern there should be some border line between freedom and blackmailing.
Media job is to give you news not comments and verdicts. Unfortunately Pakistani media some times seems out of control and propogating against Pakistan interests (my feeling.
There are lot of channels available national and international but it seldom seen that media is propogating against them governments and countries, while pakistan media .....

Previously, Geo was promoting Indian Movies, while still they are speaking after India, & there politicians, geo said (some time back in 2007) they have proofs about the corruption of Zardari, but when he came into power, they start saying, it isn't proven so he is not a corrupt.. Sometimes they seems like they are hypocrite, & sometimes it seems like they are trying to find the truth.. & sometimes it seems like they only want the fame.. Yesterday, Kamran khan was taking interview of Salman Taseer, & he said something i forgot, and very next headline on geo was, PPP wants.... I have pointed this number of times..

When i look at the religion wise, then of course they are on the wrong side.. Most of the times i call Geo as Jew.. Khair those who thinks, this is Information technology age, and nothing can remain hidden... no one can change people mind then think again.. Media never hide something, but can create a huge issue out of nothing, or can low down a issue which really need to be listen. Just for example, 9/11 is a proven fact that, US government was involved in it, while the taliban had nothing to do with this.. still US managed to put in 90% of the people minds that those terrorist who are in Afghanistan can do anything in America.. Just because of BBC, CNN, & the Fox.
