PTI has claimed that different TV channels aired fake news of Imran Khan’s marriage, while 14 channels have submitted the written apology so far. ARY and Dawn News were also accused ofairing wrong news about Prime Minister’s health.
Maryam Nawaz claimed that Channel 24 run inappropriate news with wrong pictures, while Geo, SAMAA, Roz and other TV channels were also accused by many politicians for airing fake news. Geo has to pay Rs200,000penalty in this regard.

PEMRA to treat all private television channels equally Business Recorder on August 3 reported that Imran Zafar Laghari chaired a meeting of the Sub-Committee of National Assembly Standing Committee on Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage and directed PEMRA to treat all private television channels equally to ensure media freedom.

The News and Jang on August 1 published news reports that PEMRA officials said the channel had been placed back to its original position of July 27 on authority’s order.
Jang newspaper on August 1 published two articles, one article was written by Dr. Amir Liaquat Hussainwith the title “Tum Jug Jug Geo… Magar Hamei Tou Jeene Do!!”, while another article was written by Syed Anwar Qadwai on the topic “Azadi-e-Izhaar Kay Raaste Band Na Karei”. Both the writers discussed the issue of moving Geo channel to the last numbers.
The writers in their articles favored one point of view and totally supported Geo News channel.
Protest held against vulgarity shown on a private channel
Pakistan Yekjehti Council Sindh organized a protest demonstration under the supervision of President Qari Sajjad Tanoli outside PEMRA office Karachi against the vulgarity shown ona private television channel.
While addressing the protesters,Tanoli said Pakistan was made in the name of Islam; therefore, vulgarity and obscenity will not be accepted.
This news story was covered by Dunya newspaper on August 6. The writer of the story has not mentioned the name of news channel as the paper has just mentioned a private television channel.
Hence, the writer has omitted important fact relevant to the story that is not mentioning the name of the channel against which the protest was held.
CII criticizes TV shows
Pakistan Today and Dunya on August 5 reported that Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) Chairman Maulana Muhammad Khan Sheerani said that the council had taken a serious note of a TV show in which abandoned children and newborns were presented to the participants like gifts or ordinary items.
He further said, “Television channels have been violating PEMRA rules for several days, but it did not take any action on its own”.In these news reports, both the newspapers have not mentioned the names of television shows, hence the writers omitted facts.
