@no-quarter said in North Korea:
@Crucial evidence for what? That he praised Trump? I don't think the article really tried to make a point, just seemed to be reporting on what was happening.
The "talks" are pretty unlikely to be very fruitful, and Trump has indicated as much, but it's better than nothing.
Considering there are 5 reporters, two writers and an editor listed it's a bit poor that the headline and statement aren't even backed up with a quote. Would have been simple to do.
I only made a post about the stupidity of @Salacious-Crumb s assertion about the media and deliberately didn't comment further because I thought the article was a bit light and hardly worthy of exclamation.
I would be happy if Trump is doing good things in this area. Happier still if he didn't undermine that good work while sitting on the crapper with phone in hand.

@Crucial fair enough, articles that lack direct quotes are a massive bugbear of mine as well. Almost as bad as "anonymous sources". He's quoted in other stories though, pouring a bit of water on the opinion that Trump is undermining South Korea with his response to Kim Jong Un's threats.
My biggest gripe with the media is the lines between fact-based reporting and opinion pieces are very blurred now, and opinions are often being presented as fact. They generally all report the news but you do have to be wary of the bias of the organisation. In this case the articles I have read have been mostly just reporting what is happening, so as you say, nothing to see here.

All of these headlines from left-leaning media outlets are pretty fucking insane. They're basically running propoganda on behalf of the brutal NK regime.
We get it, you guys hate Trump and Pence, but normalising and even glamorising Kim Jong-un's family is taking things waaaaay to far. This woman oversees hundreds of thousands of people starving in labor camps being worked to death.
Oh but that smile!

Yeah wtf is with that? She is literally the deputy director of the Propaganda and Agitation Department. It's like they want to destroy the tiny speck of credibility they had left.

@salacious-crumb Must have run out of money to test them, or are sanctions actually working?

What do they want in return? First there was being nice to South Korea and talk of reconciliation, now this. Very suspicious

The warmongers are getting royally pisssed-off.
Trump agrees to meet with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, South Korea says
WASHINGTON — President Trump will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by May for high-level talks over the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, a South Korean official said outside the White House Thursday.
The extraordinary and unexpected opening came through shuttle diplomacy by a South Korean delegation arriving in Washington Thursday. Trump heralded the development as a "major announcement" after speaking with the South Korean president.
Kim has agreed to a suspend missile tests while the talks go on, and there was no insistence that the United States and South Korea suspend joint military exercises.
"I explained to President Trump that his leadership, and his maximum pressure policy, along with international solidarity, brought us to this juncture," South Korean national security adviser Chung Eui-yong told reporters after meeting with Trump at the White House. [...]

Nobel Peace Prize? I mean Obama got one for... winning an election.
But in all seriousness. I just watched CNN for the laughs. It was brilliant watching them talk about this through gritted teeth and anguished expressions.
Trump is just winning on nearly all fronts. Taxes, ISIS, North Korea, immigration.
So.Much.Fun watching the Trump haters look more and more foolish. -

I think all politicians are arrogant dickheads. Some just try harder to hide it.
I would choose an effective arrogant dickhead over an ineffective arrogant dickheadThis is just getting more and more amusing as people slowly realize they have been brainwashed by the MSM

Fair call. For me he Trumps them all in those stakes.
I don't think many of the people I know have been brainwashed. There is conspiracy theory thread though.

Got it. You ignore actual real results because you think Trump is a poopy bum.....yeah that doesn't sound like you have been influenced by a MSM that is dedicated to saying how much of a poopy bum Trump is....

@baron-silas-greenback I never said he wasn't achieving things. I just think he is a bell end.
Lots of successful people aren't very likable. It has nothing to do with MSM, I can watch Fox or CNN and see the same clip of Trump making a cock of himself.

This.
I have nothing but contempt for most politicians from all sides. The difference between them and Trump is that Trump makes no attempt to hide what he is. To me that's preferable over the perverse facade you see with most politicians and their attempts to fool enough people into believing they're doing something but not actually doing anything. Rather an effective fuckstick than a silvertongued incompetent.
