Well, Geo is Lot Better Than Indian TV Channels

Well, Geo is Lot Better Than Indian TV Channels is a post from: ProPakistani

In the past, we have heartedly bashed Geo TV, for the reasons we thought were right. But you will have to believe me that Indian Media has turned out to be the best (obviously lot better than Geo) at falsifying the facts and bending them for their own good.

Preparing the nation for today's Semi Final between India and Pakistan, India media has left no stone unturned to belittle Pakistani team, and for this they are bluntly altering the facts to add spice to their shows.

Check following screen shot for example:

According this show, Pakistan has played a total of 26 matched in India against India, out of which India won 17 matches and Pakistan managed to win 9 matches. Well, this is not true.

Check think link on WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_versus_Pakistan_cricket_rivalry

india pakistan cricket Well, Geo is Lot Better Than Indian TV Channels

It says:

ODI matches summary

Total 119 Matches: 46 won by India, 69 won by Pakistan. No result 4

26 matches in India: 9 won by India, 17 won by Pakistan.

27 matches in Pakistan: 11 won by India, 14 won by Pakistan. No result 2.

66 matches on neutral grounds: 26 won by India. 38 won by Pakistan. No result 2

This is one example of Jugglery; there are dozens of other incidents where India Media is playing with the facts.

Have a look at following video, and note the commentary, does it make any sense to you? Does this channel deserve its existence on the planet? I doubt it.
