Benazir Bhutto and the bloggers
While it is obviously not a good thing and is newsworthy that former Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto was murdered by Islamic terrorists, I have just one thing to mention about the story.
Bloggers all over the net are blogging this story like they care and they are fully informed about Benazir Bhutto’s career and politics. Meanwhile a search of archives at a few A-list blogs (that shall remain nameless) show not one post mentioning this woman before she was killed.
Actually, more than a few. I checked at 12 of the blogs I think are A-listers, three of which are far left, two of which are far right. Not a single one of them has ever mentioned this woman prior to her murder.
Remember that when you read these long diatribes about who she was and what her death means to the region, terrorism and Pakistan’s future.
