False-flag ops of a different kind!

'...another 'GEO' official disclosed to an officer of a European diplomatic mission that they [GEO TV] had taken themselves off the air in order to blame the political party, and garner support for the station.'

The confession in para 11

When the Group Editor of Geo was queried by the US embassy staff he said that they know that many of their reporters have political agendas, are paid by ISI, military intelligence, Jamaat-e-Islami, or other interests but that they prefer not to fire or reprimand these reporters.

'"GEO" sees its behavior [reporting rumors, innuendo, and unsubstantiated allegations] as win-win with sensationalism and hate speech generating ratings and any attempt by authorities to rein it in allowing them to exploit their circumstance by claiming censorship.'

Americans had raised the issue with govt of Pak at different levels including with President Zardari. But then ran out of their patience and decided to terminate their BBG contract with GEO TV for VOA programming.

'"Jang Group" recently has increased its criticism of the USG and its policies, has engaged in anti-Semitic behavior and has specifically targeted the Ahmadi religious minority group in a television program that resulted in the death of two Ahmadis.'
