The front pages of the online versions of the Hankyoreh Shinmun and the Chosun Ilbo, captured yesterday afternoon. Read into this what you will.
See thekorean’s post here for more context.

When I read of these things, I am not surprised.
Much surveillance took place but was it really worth it?
Meanwhile, the Gallup poll of Koreans through telephones shows South Korea is 87th in the world in freedom of press, along with China’s 89th. This is another potential time bomb story for those interested, to use in this election year. The suppression of freedom of speech of press must be so bad, if the level is similar to China’s. Four out of ten Koreans answered South Korea has no freedom of press. Oh right, South Korea is a dictatorship, I forgot.
Well, Chosun is now saying that RMH did it too… without mentioning that those surveillance were ordered as part of corruption investigation/internal affairs and targeting 공무원s and cops.
You know, I bitch about Fox News almost constantly… but I really should broaden my perspective.
The Chosun Ilbo editorial staff is so LAME and could easily work for party organs in Beijing, considering the depth to which they will excuse the bad nature of those they are closely associated with.
These are probably the same guys that think prostitution is okay so long as their wife doesn’t do it. They have little or no ethics as far as I am concerned.
R.Elgin, sure. But you don’t also find the charges, lame?
I’m not surprised that you do.
