    Pretty sure the press and the liberals of the world cheered on Hitler in the 1936 Olympics.

      This is a no brainer, the North Korean regime hates Trump, therefore they are morally good and praise worthy...

        A link going to the story itself rather than a small reproduction of the page.

          They are probably just trying to appease him since California/Hawaii would be his first targets.

            The story is that the media back then was naive and ignorant about who Hitler really was, but I'm not sure I really believe that. I wonder, in 80-years, will historians be making the same excuse for today's fawning coverage of the murderous North Korean regime? "They didn't know any better!"

                I have heard that Kim yo Jong is possibly more dangerous than her brother. Honestly fawning over her seems like fawning over thrysmachus.

                  Let's have a look at some of those "actual examples".

                  Breitbart points to CNN as an example. Here is a quote from that particular article:

                  But as North Korea's brutal dictator, Kim's brother has ruled with an iron fist since coming to power, operating Nazi-style prison camps, repressing political opposition and even executing senior officers and his own family members in an effort to consolidate power.http://edition.cnn.com/2018/02/10/as...cs1126AMVODtop
                  And from The New York Times:

                  From the same article:

                  From The Washington Post

                  If the outside world is puzzled by this regime that threatens nuclear war and deprives its people of food and information, just imagine how strange North Korea seems to those in the South. They speak the same language, share the same myths, love the same food. Yet the leaders are so foreign. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/11/w...imes&smtyp=cur

                      Yeah let's ACTUALLY read the article, not just YOUR snippet.


                      (CNN)If "diplomatic dance" were an event at the Winter Olympics, Kim Jong Un's younger sister would be favored to win gold.
                      With a smile, a handshake and a warm message in South Korea's presidential guest book, Kim Yo Jong has struck a chord with the public just one day into the PyeongChang Games.

                      "I hope Pyongyang and Seoul get closer in our people's hearts and move forward the future of prosperous unification," she said in her guest book message, referring to the capitals of North and South Korea.
                      Seen by some as her brother's answer to American first daughter Ivanka Trump, Kim, 30, is not only a powerful member of Kim Jong Un's kitchen cabinet but also a foil to the perception of North Korea as antiquated and militaristic.

                      But as North Korea's brutal dictator, Kim's brother has ruled with an iron fist since coming to power, operating Nazi-style prison camps, repressing political opposition and even executing senior officers and his own family members in an effort to consolidate power.

                      In Pyeongchang, her presence is a major story line for reporters and the buzz on the street, with some in South Korea curious and accepting, while others are skeptical, if not downright cynical.
                      "Her being here is not that bad, but I feel North Korea has shown up to the Olympics without paying," said Yoon Jun-young, 23, indicating that the nation hasn't made any political concessions to mirror its participation on the international sporting stage.
                      Kate Yoo, 21, who like Yoon spoke to CNN during Saturday's hockey match between Switzerland and the unified Korean team, said she doesn't think it's "the best thing to have her here, although maybe part of having one of the Kim dynasty over is like a safeguard, then they won't attack."


                      Other than that small aside which you quoted, the entire article is CNN gushing all over her. Just like Breitbart said.

                            They are all linked to in the OP Breitbart article. Are you commenting on the thread without having read the article it's about?

                              I read the articles. I noticed you just did like charles and selected a sentence out of context that said what you wanted to say while accusing Breitbart of doing the exact same thing! And not only that but you selectively avoided doing the same to the main articles and chose some oddball ones like New Yorker and ThinkProgress.

                              You are just as bad as you accuse Brietbart of being. Shame on you.
