South Korea Japan news media bias in the USA

Published on Mar 6, 2014

In the March 2, 2014 edition of The Dallas Morning News appeared an article reprinted from The New York Times titled "S. Korea assails Japan over wartime brothels."

The article is rooted in Japan Bashing, pure and simple. No pretext in this article to just report news without exposing extreme anti-Japanese bias.

The article covered in part South Korean President Park's comments during a nationally televised speech. The article quotes President Park's critical comments about Japan not being in touch with history. Should not President Park do the same about her country's history?

President Park Geun-hye, her father Park Chung-hee joined the Japanese Imperial Army and rose to become a distinguished officer. Is that the history President Park would like to discuss? How about the history when during the Korean War (1950 -- 1953) South Korean military and police executed 100,000 to 200,000 South Korean civilians fearing they were communist or communist sympathizers? Is that the history President Park would like to discuss?

Further in the article the author wrote in reference to Japanese Prime Minister Abe ".....trying to glorify his country's World War II history....." Huh? Is Japan trying to glorify World War Two, a war they lost, the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the subsequent occupation by the United States? Yep that reads like a history Japan would love to glorify.

The article is an exercise in ignorance, and Japan Bashing. It is interesting to note The New York Times journalist who wrote the article is a gentleman named "Choe Sang-hun." He was born in South Korea and his national leanings are apparent in the article. That is what the bias news media does in the USA. Want an article on the dispute between South Korea and Japan; get a South Korean journalist to write about it. You see a problem there? That would be equivalent to having a California environmentalist write an article evaluating the Environmental Protection Agency. Much like asking the fox to guard the hen house.

Thanks for coming to our site.

This site is run by me Japanese and members who join in with the intent of the site.

AS most people know,  Japan bears a lot of political and historical problems with China and North-South Korea.  Our country has  tried to deal with them in serious manner as possible. But they don't seem to take a change for better. Why?

We think it is because Japanese people don't talk much in the occasion of   international   discussion. This might  caused   that  Japan has been often misunderstood by the the rest of the world. Come to think of it, such Japanese incommunicative nature is probably because the country has kept a special kind of culture that tends to consider self-promotion deeds or criticism of others as an undignified behavior. It might be a traces of samurai ethics or something.  So I   made this site to try to clear up misconceptions as much as possible.

This is a place to post on the Japanese side of the story about international politics, history, territorial issues, cultures, and other big topics associated with relations between Japan and other countries in dispute.We will post here briefs of articles that world or Japanese media published, or old documents and maps, or readers' contributions.. anything that could support the side of Japan,   You can send me your discours in English (with a picture when　 possible) from Mail Form at "Contact"   Thank you.
