Without laughing at the mainstream media’s ironies, without crying over Geo’s fate, let us understand. Geo’s closure will, at least symbolically, undermine hard won democratic liberties and civil society will suffer a defeat at Khaki hands. Therefore, supporting Geo against the Khaki censorship is not merely an abstract principled position, it is also strategically vital. Let us re-iterate our support for Geo’s right to stay on air and at the same time hold our noses to express our disgust for Geo’s editorial line.
