Slow News Day
Bhutto was killed yesterday. The media outlets have been full of all kinds of analysis and comment. Why? There’s nothing else to write about.
Government’s not doing anything (which is, in broad terms, a good thing). It’s not really the time of year for a sex scandal. There have been no natural disasters today. It’s all a little slow, which is to be expected at this time of year. The BBC are even making news of something that the BBC created, and even then only because they handed Today over to guest editors because the knew nobody would be listening. Desperate.
Knowing nothing about Pakistan, I guess I shall remain silent until something more interesting comes to light.
To be honest I reckon that the death of Bhutto was enough.
Unfortunately just like you I lack the knowledge and expertise to pontificate upon the exact context and likely consequences.
