So I'm reading this bunch of garbage--
http://populargusts.blogspot.com/2010/07/sbs-radio-interviews-aess-lee-eun-ung.html
And as I see softball after softball question being lobbed, once again, to the AES douchebag, I started wondering: does Korea have ANY journalists who ask substantial, provocative questions?
I actually have a reporter friend who does indie field production work for KBS. A story should told me when I first met her really shocked me. She was at a press conference where they were interviewing that...I believe it was...Daegu serial killer. Everyone at the conference was asking inane sh!t, to the point where the killer is just ignoring them. Then she goes "Did you orgasm when you killed the girls?". Everyone in the conference looked at her like she shat on the rug, but the Killer looked at her and said "*beep* you". A few days later she got a call saying that the guy would only do an interview with her. I've always thought it was a good anecdote about Korean journalism. |

Ironically, neither Bill O or Keith O are reporters, they are COMMENTATORS. Bill O is particularly known for getting dramatic and then not apologizing when he is wrong. |

Lol, I know that Olbermann and O'reilly are terrible examples, but I"m just looking for ANY Korean reporter who has any actual passion for fact checking at all. My girlfriend works in Korean media as do several of my friends and it seems to me that it's a big fat "no". They all just take everything at face-value. The AES guy isn't the problem. The Korean media is the problem. |

| It's their culture. An interviewer must ensure the interviewee doesn't lose face, so no challanging questions are asked. That's Korea (and some other Asian countries too). |

Bill did a helluvajob on "A Current Affair" back in the 90s, when he only had to sell powderpuff stories as gospel, like squirrels waterskiing behind toy boats....
keith couldnt even make it as a sports reporter/ anchor. when he had to tell about John Kruk's testicle cancer, he couldn't keep a straight face through all of Sportscenter... responded the same way when Clinton got a BJer...  |
