The passage discusses the changing political landscape in Pakistan and how commentators and journalists are impacted by it. It highlights how, despite initial support for the PML-N government led by Shehbaz Sharif, many have now found themselves forced to rationalize their stance and stay relevant to the majority of Pakistanis who support the PTI and Imran Khan. The article suggests that the intense polarization in Pakistani politics has made it difficult for commentators to remain neutral and has forced many to align themselves with a political party or leader. It also suggests that this trend may continue, with individuals scrambling to switch to the Khan camp, and highlights the role of the military in shaping media discourse and securing jobs for journalists.
