Pakistan's top media organisation exposed badly!

[Hadi Rizvi]

Shocking. Depressing. Sad

These are the 3 words I could find to describe the content of what I saw below:
I know its too long but even if you just watch Shahzaib Khanzada's clips then you'll get an idea of what I'm gonna discuss

Since when did we stoop so low?
Are these beings qualified to be called humans after such shocking betrayal of trust?
Is this the truth about journalism in Pakistan?
Are we right to call ourselves sane when we've sat these traitors at the highest levels of power?

I want every PPer, or atleast every Pakistani PPer, to give their reaction on this.

Geo is a total sellout. i have gt them when they were doing the live coverage rallies for ex-CJ Iftikhar chaudhry. they gve him 24/7 focus and even giving the reports about what hes eating and what hes sh1tting etc etc.
In the end everyone knw that musharraf was right about him.

Nothing new here bro there is a reason why most Geo/Jang journos are called lifafa sahafis. The way they defend the crooks they should change their channel name to PMLN News or PTV News 2.

The most surprising part was how Saad Rafiq asked him what to reply? I knew our politicians were dirty but a current minister saying this to a renowned journalist is just......argh....maybe I'm new to this but I'm very very shocked.

And to think I used to be a fan of this Khanzada guy before he joined this garbage channel

 

[notAgainPlease]

Summary please ? Its too long to watch, what happened ?

Just watch Shahzaib's clips only and you'll get it.

Since you have experience, tell me this.

Is Hasan Nisar as dirty as these lifafa journalists, cuz I'm a huge Hasan Nisar fan.

Sadly it's a normal now in our media planted and paid shows. Talat was once the biggest name of our media industry and see what he did to his career in last few years acting as shah se zyada shah ka wafadar

Nah so far Hassan Nisar, kashif Abbasi and Nadeem Malik etc are of the only few left in our industry without this lifafa tag. You can disagree with his views but it's hard to label him as lifafa. I disagree with Hamid Mir on many points but he is also not that bad.

For GEO the survival of the Sharifs is a matter of life or death. If the Nooras go down, they will be destroyed so they act as a party political broadcast for the Nooras. I dont watch GEO or read the Jang because they are dishonest.

 

[Black Zero]

Only 79 minutes short clip.
I am not sure if even Hadi has watched it.

 

[Yaasir]

Geo / Jang are complete sell outs. I refuse to watch Geo.

 

[sjahmed23]

GEO used to be my favorite pakistani channel growing up

I've watched the whole episode mate.

 

[sshakir411]

I only saw the first 32 seconds of the video and I could not get past Liaquat Bhai's Nike golf hat. Why is he even wearing that lol?

Anyways, I don't know much about internal Pakistan politics. Reading the posts I can only guess but I'm not surprised that people who get tv time are actually sellouts. Media is a tool used to influence society. It has become imperative to never rely on individuals or organizations to get our information.

No surprises there as far as Jang Group is concerned.

Dr sahib is defending the judiciary system and Army, but he has some personal issue with this media group as well, so everyone is using the power of microphone to it’s maximum.

 

[Waseem]

Yes i watched a few clips and must say very disappointed with Shahzaib Khanzada who was one of only few decent Geo anchors other than Hasan Nisar and hamid Mir.

Still this is nothing compared to trash you come across on twitter from the Geo journalists like Murtaza Shah (Geo UK rep), Umar Cheema, Ahmed Noorani (apparently his twitter account has been closed), Marvi Sirmed, Imtiaz Alam etc

Geo/Jang owner not long ago said "Forget about Journalism, this is just business for me" so just imagine how that mentality has trickle down effect on average worker.

Absolutely! Not a fan of Aamir Liaqat at all, he even said it that this is just a payback for his personal issues with the channel but what he leaked is all real and says a lot about channel that has been hired by Sharifs.
