Richard Holbrooke says ‘Geo TV is anti-US’
Updated at: 2350 PST, Thursday, June 04, 2009
KARACHI: US special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke Thursday said the US is committed to providing every possible help to the affectees of military operation in Pakistan.

Talking to media during his visit to a relief camp in Mardan, Swat, Holbrooke said: “President Barack Obama has sent me to help the people flocking out of the conflict zones.”

“We have brought with us 200 million dollars aid, we have been standing by Pakistan in a steadfast manner,” he said.

Drawing attention of Geo’s correspondent on the occasion, Richard Holbrooke said that Geo TV should ensure coverage of what the US is doing for Pakistan.

“Geo has broadcast a number of anti-US reports, now you (media) should make people aware of the fact that the US is standing by Pakistan,” he said.

Geo TV’s reaction to these comments is that Geo TV is neither anti-US nor pro-US, it only tries its best to present the actual facts to its viewers.

Geo TV only presents the viewpoints of different schools of thought keeping in view the facts. It has always been Geo’s policy to bring before the viewers the views of people belonging to all the sections of society.

These people hold various views regarding the policies being pursued by the US. Some support the US polices while others are critical of them and there still others who are impartial.

Geo TV is Pakistan’s most popular channel which has won the trust of the people.

Geo’s effort has always been to create an opportunity for the people think and question.

The social contract of Geo TV is available on www.geo.tv/asool which always welcomes feedback.

These stupid Americans can never mind their own damn business. Go fix your own media outlets and then talk about others.

Poor and rather blatant attempt to give GEO credibility amongst the Pakistani masses...If anything GEO is a propaganda tool of american agenda in the region...it has received funding and collaborated with some of the most anti muslim and pakistani entities in US...

I always thought Geo TV is anti-Pakistani and always has been. I think he must be watching the wrong channel.

I agree with one of the posters above.


This is B.S..

GEO T.V is pro-U.S, but it has pushed the boundaries on occasion and lost credibility, this is a attempt to give GEO credibility amongst Pakistanis

Correct me if I am wrong but I have read somewhere that an american was also involved in the setup/creation of GEO. If thats the case then its just a publicity stunt.

[suhaib]

yeh right, thats why voice of america has totaly raped the channel and in return they have raped pakistan.
what a way to gain some sympathy for your own channels.

In 2008 PAK elections GEO TV was using same software to show the results.. and few months earlier FOX CNN etc were using almost the same thing for their elections.

Back to the same old US of A.

We this, we that, we bring this, we give that!!

What they seldom actually (and what they actually mean) say is we take this, we take that, we give this because we want that.
