Geo TV, one of the biggest news channels in Pakistan, once again binged on misleading reporting with another gaffe in a story against Sindh government.
The error was highlighted on social media by a user who posted the image of news published by Geo TV beside the image of the same story by SAMAA TV.
The news was about the decision of the local government to charge Rs 1 levy from private beverage companies which was published by Geo TV as a decision to take Rs 1 levy from the citizens for using underground water.
