Grossly Apologetic: CBC drops the "big picture" ball(as usual)

You must read this "scathing" 2003 report on the dark D.P.R.K from our government media...

"The state-run media call him a brilliant politician and paint him as a frugal workaholic."

Why would they not say the CITIZENS of his country think this of him. Oh, and also... the CBC IS "state-run" media.

"In 1994 he brokered a deal that saw the U.S., Japan and South Korea pumping billions of dollars in foreign aid into his country in exchange for the cessation of his nuclear program." 1994. That stupid deal sure seems like really fucking bad politics NOW... doesn't it? You can't grant evil a REWARD for being evil, Clinton. At least things are changing for the better.

"Others see him as ruthless and selfish, basking in opulence while his poverty-stricken nation suffers one hardship after another. Natural disasters, compounded by poor governance, have caused a famine in the country that aid workers say has killed more than two million people over the last decade."

Others? OTHERS!!! Were natural disasters compounded by poor governance, or is it the other way around? I think nature was the least of the problems facing the average North Korean...

I wish I could believe the CBC belongs to this "other" group of people...
