Korea is indeed morally superior than America. American media also tends to preshape voter turnout and voter choice by clearly biased, propaganda-ish tv programs, especially concentrated during November. I recall, PBS, NPR news were running wild on broadcasts relating to Warren G. Harding, US isolationism, etc during election time. this poll black out, blog black out, etc proves that Korea is morally superior. I think I'll drink for that. those of you who think BBK was a fixed deal by Gum-chal. I say, no way. Roh still sits in the blue house. If anything, Gum-chal would have done everything possible to convict, Lee, force a fight between Chung and Lee Hoi Chang, and go full force with Lee Hoi Chang's weakness of all weaknesses. Several. Both his sons never went to goon dae still, and people did deliver boxes of cash to him. But, Korea is so morally superior, that even Gum-chal has decided not to convict Lee without evidence. There was no evidence. It was a con-man's libel and slander against a business man. Kim won't leave Korea anytime soon. It's pretty much a given that head positions in Gum-chal will be replaced with Lee's chosen ones. Yet, these morally superior men did the right thing. Indeed, future President Lee, would you believe it if the Book-Joseon Gum-chal announced Lee Myung Bak not guilty, Senior Chung? poll black out?
