Geo News is not at all a moderate News Channel. After Musharraf came into Power in 99, every citizen of Pakistan is the victim that there was no campaign for freedom of media, not a single journalist protested against the Government to free the media. Musharraf took the initiative himself and allowed private television channels to air the news. Now Geo is projecting the image that freedom of media is not given by Musharraf and it is being taken after a long tiring struggle.
Geo is unable to show the evidence of this and do only LIP SERVICE as their chief anchorpersons like Hamir Meer, Dr. Shahid Masood and Kamran Khan do in their respective shows? All these anchorpersons have started to project themselves as they are at the level of President. They mostly call most of the as they are their close-friends. Even they don’t feel it their responsibility to call Ministers and even President of Pakistan in some respectful manner. Geo has started to feel itself as the strongest entity in the Country.
