Holy shit.
One dodgy article in Newsweek, and fifteen people have died.
I know,the whole "oh shit we are sorry fake article" nonsense is probaby just some major cover up by the US government in order to save their own ass. (Funny thing is, they actually think we believe them.) Its not like they put much emphasis on free speech or journalistic freedom. (Case in point- I just put on Fox News, and they are harping on about the bloody Micheal Jackson trial. I mean, get over it. For the love of god get over it.)
But still, its scary how much influence the media can have in moulding public opinion. People have DIED for gods sake.
Makes me rethink the whole journalism as a career thing. Do i want that responsibility? Or am i just too scared to do something that will actually have an impact on someone or something?

well there are so many problems with the whole scenario
and maybe the 15 people died because its the sociopolitical situation in afghanistan that is to blame, not the article?
and journalism in pakistan is sadly ineffectual and extremely low paying :/
