Media Platforms Are Not Innocent Either
The charge that Hashmi “used” Geo News for narrative laundering deserves scrutiny—not because it is entirely false, but because it is selectively applied.
Pakistani media routinely platforms one-sided outrage. The issue is not which channel aired a defense. The issue is why institutional collapse becomes a shouting match instead of a reckoning.
Karachi Is Not a Monolith
Some voices defended Hashmi fiercely, calling out what they see as propaganda and silencing tactics. Others condemned him outright, arguing that his language crossed from critique into contempt.
Both reactions exist. Simultaneously. Loudly.
That is Karachi.
To flatten this city into a single verdict—“Karachi rejects”—is to misunderstand it entirely.
