Progressive paper feeds on starved baby.

It's a good thing those parents let that 3-month-old starve to death while they fed their own internet addiction, because otherwise the Hankyoreh wouldn't have had any material for their cartoon on Friday:


It explains:
President Lee Myung-bak, right, and Prime Minster Chung Un-chan are busy indulging their Internet gaming addiction of how to manage the state, while the baby representing regional and national fiscal soundness appears to be starving to death from neglect.

Their cartoons are often out there and needlessly complex. The paper had noble beginnings, though nowadays it is often more extreme than the powers it claims to rally against.

They did the same thing with the "Navi".

Treating readers and the Korean people like children is no way to gain respect as major paper.

It certainly is not. Not when everyone knows the way to gain respect as a major paper is to suck up to the Japanese and military dictators!

I'm not saying Chosun Ilbo is a great example, either.
