Finally, Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman kicks Dr Shahid Masood out of Geo TV
Local Friday, June 4th, 2010It is never too late.
In view of the falling ratings of Geo TV’s once popular program Meray Mutabiq, particularly in view of its one-point agenda campaign against the democratic government in Pakistan, Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman, the CEO of Geo TV today dismissed Dr Shahid Masood from Geo TV.
Dr Shahid Masood has been stopped from conducting his talkshow Meray Mutabiq.
It may be noted that only yesterday Dr Masood was ridiculed in Pakistan’s parliament by the head of parliamentary committee on accountability (Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan) and a legal notice was served on him for recovery of Rs5.1 million which he had to pay as per his contract before leaving the PTV.
Although Dr Shahid Masood has disgracefully accepted a job offer at ARY digital, however, he has assured his new employers that he will refrain from his usual baseless defamatory propaganda against the democratic government. He has also assured that he will refrain from eulogizing acts of jihadi and sectarian terrorism in Pakistan and will stop being a Taliban apologist.
If history is any guide, this man’s assurances cannot be trusted.
Imagine what a horrible feeling it is to find out that Dr. Shahid Masood is your new boss.
And this response, actually prayer, by Farhad: God help Kashif Abbasi!

Is resignation of Shahid Masood a result of Geo-govt deal???
Dr Shahid Masood left Geo and rejoined ARY group. I think he did well. But I am unable to understand what’s wrong with few people. Why they are worried on this? It was ARY which gave Dr Masood an identification and then both of them became vital for each other. Now they’ve reunited after a gap.
But what’s a pity with Geo. What has gone wrong with the channel, which keeps portraying it the biggest among all, after Dr Shahid Masood left it? It shows that he was the only person in that channel who was fighting for the truth against the government.
Why so-called anti-govt anchors Kamran Khan, Hamid Mir, Saleem Safi and Iftikhar Ahmed are silent now and why they are praising this government? Why they abruptly changed their track? I am sure that the government and the Geo have settled down their affairs and a deal has been signed between the two. It is the reason they have stopped criticizing the government and started chanting “all is well”!
And everyone knows Aftab Iqbal that he is Zardari’s longtime praiser and Geo has hired him to keep praising the government from its platform.
They were the people who were kept repeating “jab taaj uchalay jaen gay” and other such stuff. And now?? Alas, it’s the real face of the Geo that the nation has come to know after all.
Geo is falling in peoples’ eyes. I knew that the Geo has settled its affairs with the government against millions of rupees. The column of Ahmed Riaz, the ex-director of FIA, was published in the Jang on the same day Dr Masood resigned from Geo. This column is telling all the inside story that the Geo is against taking a U-turn from its past position. Now their aim is to praise and support this government.
But who says there is democracy in Pakistan.
I totally agreed ,there is no democracy in Pakistan.This is a open fraud with the people of pakistan who always chose these blood sucking politicians.Regarding Dr.shahid maqsood i think he is a genuine and patriotic anchor. The recent coop between zardari and Nawaz sharif on Fake degrees issue compelled Geo to get rid of Dr.shahid maqsood.
Dr, Shahid Masood
Dhobi Ka Kuta na ghar ka na ghat ka. Media is alaways supposed to be watch dog rather tan attack dog. Masood should learn a lesson and journalism as well.
Pakistan has become a failed state. We cannot run the affairs of the state in this 21st centuray.
ARY Digital is owned and RUN by BRAINLESS MONKEYS!
