Korea and the Media

The mainstream media continues its bias against North Korea. For some irrational reason North Koreans get their panties in a bunch every time we fly nuclear equipped stealth bombers near their tiny island nation. the New York Times dutifully reports:

After suffering from the American carpet-bombing during the 1950-53 Korean War, North Korea remains particularly sensitive about American bombers.

Those Koreans can really hold a grudge, huh? We haven't carpet-bombed North Korea in ages and yet they still get all jittery every time we fly a nuclear equipped stealth bomber over the peninsula. It's clearly only a training mission so that when we do decide to carpet-bomb North Korea in the future we'll get it right.

Seriously, though, it's simply infuriating how the media dutifully reports that everything the US does is a defensive move, while everything North Korea does is clearly aggressive. The Obama administration is clearly doing everything he can to provoke North Korea, but it's ok because he's not George W. Bush.
