October 15, 2009 by usinkoreaCNN Praises UK Government for Giving Drugs to Junkies
By Carolyn Plocher | October 14, 2009 – 17:03AEngland can’t afford to help Alzheimer’s patients pay for their medicine, but it can offer free shooting galleries to heroin addicts.On Oct. 14 CNN’s “American Morning” aired a segment about the controversial program that “gives heroin to heroin addicts at the taxpayers’ expense.” Correspondent Paula Newton declared, “A safe, steady supply of heroin is apparently just what the doctor ordered … As radical as it is, for some it is really working.” She also said that the British government’s decision to dole out 97 percent pure heroin – “better than anything sold on the street” – “takes heroin off the streets.”
I wrote in a post that gained a lot of comments about how I liked the HBO series The Wire, but I got annoyed the season they slightly advocated the legalization of drugs and trusting the same government who can’t win the war on drugs against cartels to win the battle of cleaning up the drug business by legalizing it.
In that long post, I said I didn’t see how legalization of such highly addictive drugs could not lead to exactly what we see above in the UK.
– The easier the drugs are to get, and the more people willing to try them once they are legitimized. And the more people who try it means the more people who end up using it habitually and then addictively.
And then what? You either make the drugs free to them or you watch them rob the world blind — just as they do now…but worse….

October 10, 2009 by usinkoreaI’m going to give up blogging here (my primary internet effort) for a long while…
…Since things calmed down in South Korea on the anti-US front several years ago – quiet as far as you could see from afar — the blog has been focused more and more on the American news media and bias, and I can’t find the value any more in keeping up with something so — obvious — and so ignored by the court jesters of American society…
The last presidential election pushed the envelop so far — or pulled the rubberband so taunt – it snapped…..
And now, Pres. Obama, 8 months on the job and with no global background or major human rights accomplishments before getting the White House, gets the Nobel Peace Prize…
….That’ s enough….
I could live with the biblical demonization of Pres. Bush by the world community and the US media (who always feels inferior to the Euro-world…), but this? This glorification of a man with such a sparse background as Obama? and with such items like Rev. Wright and Saul Alinsky as key cornerstone’s of his past?
— And these people are plainly too ignorant to even realize how blind and ridiculous they are — no matter how many polls they witness where the bulk of the American population can see it in them…
….And I’m out….
It just isn’t worth watching or pointing out any more.
………The idiot court jesters are in charge of “the world community nations”….

ABC, CBS and NBC all led Friday night with the “surprise” pick of President Barack Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize after less than a year in office and acknowledged the choice was meant as a slap at former President George W. Bush, but that didn’t prevent the network journalists from touting the honor of the selection and, in one case, worrying about how critics will use the award against him. “He has been in office nine months,” ABC anchor Charles Gibson observed as ABC plastered glowing praise on screen: “The Nobel committee citation seemed to take note of that, saying, ‘only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope.’” Katie Couric exclaimed: “Talk about an October surprise!” Despite the obvious politicization of the award, NBC’s Brian Williams championed how it’s “one of the last remaining towering honors on Earth.” Williams also fretted over how Obama’s advisers will deal with “knowing that critics of the White House will use this, oddly, as a tool against him.” On CBS, Jeff Greenfield saw vindication for Obama after losing the Olympic bid

MSNBC’s Shuster Slams: Obama Nobel Speech Makes Limbaugh Look ‘Un-American’
By Scott Whitlock | October 9, 2009 – 16:44MSNBC’s David Shuster on Friday slammed conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh and RNC Chairman Michael Steele as “un-American” and “extreme” for criticizing Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize win. The liberal co-host of News Live applauded the President’s speech on the award and asserted, “…It makes the harsh comments from Michael Steele, from Rush Limbaugh, the rest, seem even more extreme and, as some would argue, un-American.” (Audio available here.)
Arguing that Obama came across as humble for stating that he’s not worthy to be in the same category as some of the other nominees, Shuster told co-anchor Tamron Hall that the remarks “made some of the conservatives look silly.”
These are the people who are the face of America to the world – our media —- the court jesters — convincing Europe especially that they really understand what is American society…
Dear David,
Pres. Obama saying he isn’t worthy of the award — echoes the critics of the choice…
The World Has Lost Its Noodle…
October 9, 2009 by usinkoreaFacts and Numbers of the Nobel Peace Prize
As described in Nobel’s will, one part was dedicated to “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
That’s it. I’ve had enough. The world has truly become an utter joke of itself. I have 2/3rds a mind to stop paying attention altogether. This is beyond ridiculous….
…and it has nothing to do with partisan politics – from my end:
What has this man done in the 8 months since he took office to advance world peace? What peace has he created? This is ridiculous. They are awarding the man the Nobel Peace Prize for simply being elected President of the United States —- the world community has officially become a court jester’s domain – it has finally proven beyond doubt to me it isn’t worth taking seriously at all…
What did Kim Dae-Jung do to win the Nobel Peace Prize? Well, he did give the world’s worst dictatorship, that had just starved 3,000,000 of its people to death, a ton of money it badly needed — to buy the historic NK-SK Summit – which did help then Pres. Kim get the NPP ——- But I never thought the Nobel cmte should revoke it. Why? Because Kim Dae-Jung did much in his lifetime to forward the cause of democracy and human rights in South Korean society…
Yasser Arafat? That was one where I noticed a good bit that the Nobel cmte was full of poo… It should have at least waited a few years before giving Arafat the award given HIS past history. At least the deal with Sadat held up in general. Arafat??? — Then, the seriously considered giving both Pres. Kim Dae-Jung the award along with Kim Jong-Il – like the did with Arafat and the Israeli leader at the time —- and I realized the Nobel cmte was still much full of poo…
Now, after giving this award to Pres. Obama before he has done a thing to advance peace in the world —- makes me loose respect for the Nobel people altogether. They will have to earn it in the future, and just one or two correct awards won’t do it. This awarding to Pres. Obama is so over the top — so obviously nothing but petty pseudo-politics on the part of the cmte – so focused on this moment in time – with no merits worth mentioning of itself – and so utterly bereft of any prior work toward world peace and freedom on the part of the young, Democrat politican — the Nobel people have made themselves a laughing stock — if the world around it were not so willing to make themselves fools as well…
This is unbelievable for anybody with a brain not crammed up his posterior…
What has Pres. Obama done in 8 months to deserve such a “prestigious” award? What did he do in his career before that? — Nothing. He is a liberal Democrat American politician who has had a short term in his state legislature and a short term as Senator and a very, very short time in office as president…
Did he close Gitmo? Did he pull out of Iraq? Did he pull out of Afghanistan? — Things the world demonized Pres. Bush for getting into. And only the willfully blind can hide from this fact:
More people have been freed from tyranny in Afghanistan and Iraq thanks to Pres. Bush’s actions than anything Pres. Obama has yet to do…
If the Nobel cmte believes that US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are a form of tyranny – and Gitmo too —- then — what? Those troops are still there and are not boarding ships home anytime soon. Gitmo is supposed to be closed, but they don’t have tickets in hand….So why give Pres. Obama the Nobel Prize before he has actually accomplished a dang thing in office — because his past is just one of another typical American politician….
The committee “attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.” But it also mentioned the UN, climate change and the “strengthening” of democracy and human rights.
Horseshit…
If the Nobel guy who started all this had an integrity at all, he is spinning in his grave so fast, we should attach some mechanics to him and generate power off it, because this one has ruined this world for years and years to come…..The Nobel Peace Price for being a young liberal Democrat who won the White House……..A joke…
And Then There is This…
October 8, 2009 by usinkoreaCNN ‘Fact Checks’ SNL Obama Skit, Airs ‘Daily Show’ Internationally
By Matthew Balan | October 7, 2009 – 19:32The Situation Room on CNN’s “fact checking” of Saturday Night Live’s skit from October 3, which made fun of President Obama as a “do-nothing,” has generated criticism, according to the TVNewser blog on Wednesday. Meanwhile, CNN’s sister network, CNN International, has been airing a “global edition” of Comedy Central’s Daily Show since 2002, a program which has apparently received less scrutiny.
TVNewser’s Kevin Allocca highlighted the criticism the “fact check” report filed by CNN correspondent Kareen Wynter in an article titled “CNN’s SNL ‘Fact Check’ Generates Backlash.” Allocca cited the Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto (who labeled the “fact check” a “bizarre exercise.”), the Baltimore Sun’s David Zurawik (“Fact checking a comedy sketch — I will say no more.”),
How far can they sink? How much of a clear partisan institution can they make themselves and still lie to themselves?
They are so into protecting Obama – they fact-check a comedy skit that says bad things about him?
Well, I guess at least we aren’t seeing Obama sending out the CIA or Secret Service to put guns to their head to become a propaganda arm of his administration — this isn’t Hugo Chavez….whom they seem to like a lot too….
At What Point is This Too Much?

Good gravey. This is textbook definition of propaganda: a source that is supposed to be informative strickly using emotion as the primary conveyer of the information with the intent that the emotions will sell the ideas better than reasoning or non-emotive/manipulated presentations will.
I wonder if I will ever stop wondering if the American media can sink any lower…..???….
American Media Bias – Yes, it is that easy to see…

American Media Piles On Bush Olympic Humiliation…
October 3, 2009 by usinkoreaShocked TV Journalists Absolve Obama, Insist IOC Rebuke Won’t Hurt President
By Brent Baker | October 2, 2009 – 21:22
The broadcast evening networks all led Friday night not with the jump in the unemployment rate to 9.8%, but with the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) rejection of Chicago’s bid, stories which reflected the premise Chicago lost “despite” or “in spite” of the “star-studded U.S. appeal from Oprah to the Obamas,” while ABC’s Charles Gibson absolved President Barack Obama by pressing for confirmation of “some anti-American sentiment here?” and whether “this is seen as a poke in the eye to the President himself or…to the U.S.?”

Newsweek Political Correspondent: Losing Olympics Good for Obama
By Noel Sheppard | October 2, 2009 – 14:53It goes without saying the Obama-loving media will be in full damage control mode this weekend trying to spin Friday’s announcement that Chicago will not be the host of the 2016 Olympics, but this one has to take the cake:
Losing the Olympics Bid Is Good for Obama
Such was the headline of an article posted at Newsweek’s “The Gaggle” blog Friday.
The author, Katie Connolly, is a political correspondent for Newsweek, and she actually elaborated on this premise (h/t Hot Air):
Pres. Bush Insults Nations With Neo-Colonialism…
October 3, 2009 by usinkoreaCOPENHAGEN, Oct. 2 — Before first lady Michelle Obama set off for this Danish capital to lead the charge for Chicago’s valiant — but ultimately unsuccessful — bid for the 2016 Olympics, she joked that the last-minute lobbying effort would be “a battle.” “We’re going to win,” Obama said. “Take no prisoners.”
The world lamented the naked arrogance and aggression of America’s neo-con new president as he flew personally to Europe to force the international Olympic committee to bow to American pressure…
The phrase, “Take no prisoners” was ridiculed across Europe, and abroad, as nakedly cowboyish and typically American – and they did not mean that as a compliment…
Editorialists around the world were particularly enraged by the arrogance of the Mrs. Bush:
At a G-20 dinner in Pittsburgh, she teased Brazil’s first lady, Marisa Leticia da Silva, that when the time came for the last-ditch arguments for the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming to Chicago — over competitors Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Madrid — the “gloves are off.”
The fact that the world community rebuked President Bush’s naked neo-colonialism with a humiliating rejection of the US bid to gain the Olympics was not lost on the world’s news media – including in the United States. CNN, MSNBC, the NY Times, Washington Post, and all major media outlets reported that the slap in the face to Bush was a major set back to his already deteriorated global image:
The final death-match competition for the 2016 Olympics came down to emotional one-upmanship. Who could share the most moving story? Which country could strike at the core of the Olympic ideal about one big, happy world in friendly and uplifting sportsmanship? The first lady did not bring home a victory, but she was her team’s most valuable player.
“I had the privilege of being with Mrs. Obama for a day and a half and she was incredibly effective,” says USOC International Vice President Bob Ctvrtlik, a former Olympian. “She was truly elegant, articulate and persuasive. The emotions I saw in those meetings were not conjured up.”
“I found Michelle Obama brilliant. She was emotional, her story really hit home — the openness about her father and the strength of the Paralympic Games,” said Erwin Roth, who has been involved with the Olympics since Lake Placid in 1980 and has written a history of the Games.
The liberal world media was particularly upset with how the Bushes talked exclusively about their personal lives as a means to sell America’s “claim” to host the Olympic games. They said it showed just how egotistical and arrogant were the First Couple’s sense of entitlement…
He, too, made his pitch personal, talking about the aspects of Chicago that attracted him more than 25 years ago — the city’s diverse cultures, the Midwestern welcoming spirit. But the first lady launched the most powerful emotional strikes.
— I gave up on this crap after this…
The president of the US, during a time of economic crisis — and in the face of news direct from military leaders that we are losing the Afghan War — goes directly to pressure the Olympic cmte to give Chicago the Olympics —- fails to win —– and is still described as if butter wouldn’t melt in his or his wife’s mouth…
The media sucks…
