		<description>I don??t understand why some people considered LAT piece as NK propaganda. Demick??s article is a report (not an editorial or opinion piece). Journalist report doesn??t propose any thesis or argument; it should be an objective report (simple as it is). Journalist is not supposed to reveal his or her view in their pieces. Journalist is just a deliverer. Managing editor makes all the decision. If readers thought that the piece were a propaganda, that??s fine. However, some people like Hugh Hewitt slightly overreacted. He reminds me of some lousy Korean netizens. I was often attacked by netizens (thanks to my part-time work). I??d love to take constructive criticism. But the criticism often went over the top (like personal attack), and it hurt. (I am a strong woman though.) 

Although Ms. Demick didn??t mention the businessman??s name, she and LAT people may know the name. But they couldn??t print his name on the newspapers for protecting the man??s privacy and security. I think that Ms. Demick did a great job. She shows me what professional journalism is all about. But that's me.</description>

		<description>"...the only acceptable alternative is to swallow the well-coordinated HewittFoxNewsOReillyPowerlineWSJNationalReviewWeeklyStandard filter..." 

Damn how did you know my online reading list?  Not my usual daily sequence but maybe I should consider adjusting, if this one is the "party line".  

"Don??t all good Americans aspire to be like the President? You need an RNC-certified re-education, Marmot. Thank god you??re outside the US of A, so as not to infect others with your dangerous individualism and non-filtered philosophy..."

My RNC certificate is hanging on the wall even as we speak.  Occasionally I pause, and my face turns upward to it worshipfully; my eyes glow with a renewed ardor of patriotic fervor, casting a beneficial light throughout the room (Ok it's really just the glow from the monitor). 

Do I detect the least little bit of lingering resentment over the results of the last election, H-joke? Console yourself, you haven't had to hear endless repetitions of the popular vote margin (like we had to after 2000).  Maybe it's because we can't enunciate clearly through all the drool.  Not to worry, there's still a song in my heart and a smile on my face for all I meet (when I do my daily goose-step exercise).</description>

		<description>"Interesting question. I guess I should retort by asking why its the LATs responsibility to ?橫filter?? news for its readers? Personally, I prefer to take in all the crap and filter it myself."

because that's what newspapers do.  they don't print everything that happens everywhere at any time because each issue would be a thousand pages long.  the la times, if it's going to be considered a responsible forum of journalism, prints things that are newsworthy and accurate.  how is a nork "businessman" parroting the party line of dear leader either?  does ms. demick feel the norks are misunderstood?  are they unfairly demonized and need her to provide a mouthpiece for their positions?

there is no dialogue in this article, no exchange of ideas.  what is ms. demick's role?  is that what a journalist does - are they a simple transcriber?  of course not.  in this case, they would frame the interview to give it context, to try to illuminate some truth.  where is that?  demick instead obscures truth by allowing this "businessman" to parrot nork propaganda without even the simplest of rebukes.  what does this infer to a reader?  does the la times feel that providing context for this interview would be redundant?</description>

He doesn't need to. He has much better sources than they do.</description>

		<description>"I guess I should retort by asking why its the LATs responsibility to ?橫filter?? news for its readers?"

George Dubya is on record as saying that he doesn't read newspapers, but rather has his inner circle filter it out for him.  Don't all good Americans aspire to be like the President?  You need an RNC-certified re-education, Marmot.  Thank god you're outside the US of A, so as not to infect others with your dangerous individualism and non-filtered philosophy.

"Personally, I prefer to take in all the crap and filter it myself."

That kind of thinking threatens the cabal who spend their considerable time and resources mounting wave after wave of blog attacks on the so-called liberal filter.  Understand that the only acceptable alternative is to swallow the well-coordinated HewittFoxNewsOReillyPowerlineWSJNationalReviewWeeklyStandard filter.

Formulating your own filter does them no good in the grand scheme of information control and distribution, as it will only encourage others and perhaps lead to a diversity of opinion that this country can't afford in a time of war.  If you're not regurgitating their talking points and participating in the circle jerk of links to repetitive agreement and nodding of heads, you're not the cog in the machine of useful fools that you could be.

Okay, I lay the conspiratorial stuff on thick, but the machine I speak of has already collected a few scalps with its well-coordinated attack dogs.  Some legitimate (Rather), others not (Eason).  If you haven't read through the list of links on Hewitt's posts, you need to do so.

There are numerous references to adding Demick to the list of victims of right-wing blogs, creating a groundswell of outrage, and making sure the communist learns her lesson.

Steve Lovelady's quote about "salivating morons who make up the lynch mob" seems to me to be quite relevant in this case.

Let us see who emerges from the fracas with drool-stains and who does not.</description>

		<description>why is ms. demick being a messenger of north korean propagada and calling it journalism? when did the la times become the unfiltered mouthpiece for nork businessmen?

Interesting question.  I guess I should retort by asking why its the LATs responsibility to "filter" news for its readers?  Personally, I prefer to take in all the crap and filter it myself.</description>
