South Korea's Sensational Journalism

Irresponsible Journalism: When words Kill
How print journalism reigns over media forms
I should probably be increasingly alarmed by the continued lack of professional journalistic standards that the Korean media so often displays. However, after coming across the latest article with a sensational headline, in The Korea Times, I could only crack a smile and say, “business as usual.”
This one reads: Obama Has Bad Impression of Korea.
Looks like they're going for the jugular. By clicking the link above you will have access to the full article. You may also note that Obama does not, in fact, have a "bad impression" of Korea. He is simply against the currents terms of the KORUS-FTA that the Bush administration is hoping to push through Congress. It is no secret that the current agreement is heavily balanced in South Korea's favor. An example Obama repeatedly uses is the fact that, under the current agreement, South Korea will have extraordinary access to the American automotive market, while the USA will be limited to exporting a few thousand vehicles to South Korea every year.
Business as usual indeed. This is a good example of how vast amounts of misinformation was disseminated throughout the web so quickly concerning the safety of American beef.
