Geo News snuffed. Once again.

It seems that we are once more returning to the bad old days on Nvember 2007 when emergency was imposed by then President Musharraf and the star of our mushrooming group of TV channels was ordered to shut down. In an ironic twist of events, today, cable operators were threatened and told to shut down Geo TV. This has now taken place in Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Lahore and Islamabad. The full story can be seen here.Ask anyone in Pakistan and they'll tell you one of the reasons that the PPP came into government was because of their promises to restore democracy, the judiciary and to make the media independent. In fact, non of these have taken place. The judiciary is still beholden to the corupt, inefficient government, and yet again, the media has been shut down while the lawyers movement is brutally suppressed and atrocities are committed. At the same time, the economy is so far down the toilet that it probably can't even see the toilet roll and Pakistan's standing in international forums has fallen greatly.

It seems that the government of "President" Zardari IS definitely corrupt, inefficient and self-serving (big surprise there). Anyway, what I really don't get is why that bastard refuses to liberate the judiciary. Hes probably afraid that the BILLIONS of dollars hes embezzled will be discovered.

OK, now only a kind and merciful God with a highly developed sense of irony will save this country from going to the dogs (characterized by Asif Zardari).
