    “The JoongAng reporter had criticized the ministry’s way of running the press center, saying the government applies a double standard by opening press centers when it needs to publicize policies while deciding to shut down briefing rooms when media reports are critical.”

    Just as I had predicted in another thread. Can’t stand the heat, kick the reporters out of the kitchen.

    So that’s why there’s been a police/agitator traffic jam outside the Hilton every afternoon for the past week. Shoot ‘em all for slwoowing down traffic.

    Heard the norks took their marbles and left because the South didn’t immediately cave on their demand for rice…at least that much is promising.
