Syed Talat Hussain

In 2022, Syed Talat Hussain who had been a vocal critic of the previous PTI government and Imran Khan faced many problems during the PTI ruling period. He was taken off air by Geo News among many other things to cause him problems due to his reporting.

In April 2018, Hussain said in a tweet that the day Geo was unable to "allow space for balanced journalism" there would be "no reason for me to continue to appear on their platform." His tweet came after Geo TV, part of Pakistan's largest commercial media group, Jang Group of Newspapers, was taken off the air in many parts of the country. The ban only ended a month later after talks between the military and the network's chiefs, who pledged to change the network's coverage. Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa held a briefing with a group of journalists in which he described Geo TV as "subversive" and warned the channel that it would face consequences for crossing "red lines" by challenging the military.

He has held key positions of director, News & Current Affairs with Pakistan Television Corporation, Prime Television (UK) and Telebiz. Talat was director of news at Aaj TV and also writes occasionally for Daily Express, an Urdu newspaper, since July 2008.
