    No media organization in the world runs unregulated. CNN, BBC or any other news channels “give it a break” when it comes to issues that affect “national integrity and security”.

    Pakistani channels went beyond their limit and instead of reporting the event as-it-is, they always added “more” to it.

    Most probably that was because of “commercial” greed or “political” elemens in the channel.

    Instead of “abusing” domestic political events and instead of making joint programmes with indian media, Geo should have addressed Pakistan’s national interests. How many times did GEO cover “KASHMIR” issues????????

    GEO! stop making money for jung group! work for the truth and national interests!

    Now stop bashing the General and be honest to your country and its citizens! They a’int got any money for you!

    I K NOW U WONT PUBLISH THIS AS IT IS AGAINST U !!!!!!!!!!!!
