You can print any sort of trash in the Herald or the Times for that matter.
Pretty sure that most Western media (the mainstream) has a little higher standard. For starters they'd probably ask to see the actual news links/reports that support the writer's assertions. |

This shows your own racist attitude toward whites. A bit hypocritical if you ask me. |
Uh...it is because of the color of your face. I worked at a hagwon with two russians and a swede - all teaching English. When a 'black' (american) guy came to interview for the job the director refused to even interview him. |

Absolutely agree. However, how is the article in question 'trash'? Myth dude, you're the most predictable person on this forum. Before you read any thread I swear that you have your apologist response rrrready to go. If anything approaches 'trash' it would be your contributions to most threads on this forum. Honestly, if you've nothing positive to contribute besides snide knock downs please go away. Find another hobby. Read a book. Take a nap. Anything. Just go away. |

Despite Urban Myth's snide commentary, exposing this nasty aspect of Korean 'culture' to the light of the international media can be done. Here is an article that appeared on the front page of the International Herald Tribune just yesterday. It wasn't buried on ''page 48 next to news about the upcoming bake sale'' as Urban Myth insists any such article must be. It was on the front page of a major international daily. We can expose Korean racism in the international media. We just need to ignore apologists and naysayers like Urban Myth. He has nothing to contribute.
Here's the article from the front page of the International Herald Tribune.

He was fluent in Korean and had a Master's from Kyunghee university in Korea, as well as a BA in Education (English) from University of Cincinatti. I interviewed him anyway and recommended that we hire him, but the director still said no... |

I never said the article was trash. I was criticizing the journalistic quality of KOREAN reporting as it relates to those two papers ...how is that being an apologist? I simply pointed that if one were to submit such an article to a Western media organization, they'd probably ask to see the supporting news articles that the writer cites in his article.

A major international daily?
The IHT has a circulation of about 242,073
Compare that with TIME which has 3.4 million a week.
Or Newsweek which is around 3.1 million a week
Or even The Economist which is over 1.3 million per week.
But thanks. You made me smile. |

You think that getting an article onto the front page of an international paper with 242,000 readers is insignificant? I'll tell you what, it's a darn good start. Any reasonable commentator would agree. Only you think that a readership of 242,000 persons is insignificant. But that's your unique charm, isn't it. Anyway, I find that arguing with you is counter-productive. This is my last comment on anything that you 'contribute' to this thread. Continue posting if you wish, but I believe that most readers will agree that you have nothing sensible or worthwhile to contribute to this thread at all. |

The IHT paper was actually featuring an article written and published in the New York Times. The NYTs is the third largest newspaper in the U.S., with just over 1 million in circulation. As is evident in this case, a story in the NYTs is not only important for its own circulation numbers, but for the exposure and possible circulation by secondary news sources as well.
But thanks. You made me laugh. |

Only he was talking about the IHT being a major international daily and not the New York Times. Try to keep up.

Well, I hope you don't choke. The New York Times is a major newspaper whose articles are often picked up by other news services and wires well beyond its name. This is already the case with IHT and others.
So, for you to then narrow your argument by focusing on IHT's circulation completely misses the point.
Couldn't expect less of you if I tried.  |
