There are so many mixed emotions about this video.
Geo is being shut down, the first thing that comes to mind is " what?"
the second thing that comes to mind is "why"
and lastly some say " thank god"
while others think how unfortunate.
Geo till fight all the way to bring news to the public in their view they were exposing the reality which exists in our government and society and country , but at what cost? the cost that it was decided for them to be shut down? so many jobs jeopardized?
How many homes must have not been able to eat 2 proper meals during this era? or how many people must have had a hard time giving their siblings or children school fees, who accounts to that? everyday when you passed their office there were people standing with candles, and then the thought occurs to you and you realize what has happened. there is not one channel currently running, there are several channels reporting current news, and so what if one news is anti government? is it that resourceful that the government feels threatened by it?
I whole heatedly disagree with the action taken against geo and am glad it is restored, although i am not a regular watcher of that channel and i do not give it my first preference but when i look back and think about how many people were at a loss, producers, directors, anchors, pe ons, runners, set designers and so many more, i am dismayed by the judgement the government took and feel they failed this decision.

Well written. However I feel after all those presentation made in the class your point of view must have shifted a little. But nonetheless its your opinion and i respect that.
