Two Contradictory Sentiments

I know I promised myself that I would no longer read the Korean Times, however; I just can't help myself sometimes.  I just wanted to share these two opposing sentiments in the Korea Times today.

1.  From an editorial rationalization of the paper's articles (Link to the article: http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/opinon/2009/12/137_56883.html)

"We believe that allegations that our newspaper is being unfair in its coverage of cases involving foreigners are less than just. Besides, this newspaper takes pride in serving its foreign residents and visitors as an important segment of its readership, making these allegations even more untenable."

2. The last paragraph of an article about the implementation of a teacher's union at a hagwon in Incheon.  The article was pretty complementary until the last sentence. (Link to the article: http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/12/117_56894.html)

"A total of 22,905 foreign nationals are here on E-2 English teaching visas as of Oct. 31 this year, according to the Ministry of Justice. Of them, 134 overstayed their visa, the ministry said."

(After an uncharacteristically complementary article, I  liked how they returned to their raison de etre: illegal English teachers)

If anyone wishes further demonstration of the professionalism of this so called newspaper, one need only direct their attention to the supplied email address provided at the end of the article: foolsdie@koreatimes.co.kr

Fools may not die, but I certainly hope that they don't sell too many newspapers (or at the very least the newspaper are doing something utilitarian; mainly lining bird cages)

Cheers,
Adam
