Land of lemmings

Letter August 19, 2011
These problems are not just limited to Pakistan. People have the tendency to follow blindly throughout the world.

ISLAMABAD: George Fulton’s article of August 18 titled “Denial, delusion and Dr Liaquat” was very good but I am sure that these problems are not just limited to Pakistani society. People have the tendency to follow blindly throughout the world. Take Fox News as an example — a major percentage of Americans watch it regularly and take whatever it reports as ‘news’ to be hard facts. And then you have “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report”, and several websites, which have shown how Fox distorts the news to suit a particular agenda, and that people still watch and follow it without hesitation.
