Here we have a senior editor for the Washington Post providing propaganda fodder for the Chinese. When I lived in the States the Post was a daily read. I became increasingly disgusted with the obvious bias displayed towards the intentions of the United States in general and President Bush in particular. So this man’s views as expressed here explains at least where the Post is coming from. America=bad, oppressive freedom hating regimes=”democracy means different things to different people.” Yeah, right.
Living here on the Korean peninsula has been interesting. I have talked to Koreans who are very skeptical of China’s intentions. And with good reason given their history. Many Koreans believe that China intends to dominate the world and they have the patience and resources to achieve that goal. With apologists like the Washington Post leading the way, they may take comfort in the perception that we lack the will to defend our way of life. I hope they are wrong about that.
Vigilance is in order. We have enemies within and without our borders.

Yes it explains a lot about you and how utterly skewed you have become in your perceptions. You obviously read the story with a pre-formed bias. You are trashing it because the eidtor didn’t engage in blatant in your face “We are the rulers of the world” flag waving rhetoric. Hey, wise up. Flag waving rhetoric would never have been published. You have to be aware that people overseas mock the idea that Bush wants to spread democracy when he supports Paksitan and Saudi Arabia and totally ignores Africa. This editor fielded that question pretty good by saying America does support spareding democracy but that this doesn’t always mean the same thing to everyone. You don’t have to look any further than The Wide Awakes to realize that. Some of the commentors over there think democracy is a bad word. Making this guy’s interview even more difficult is the fact that the Post has been doing a lot of coverage lately on the Chineese/Taiwan situation and not favorably for China. He managed to get across just how free America is with respect to the media and the dissemination of information to the American public. He noted that it was more difficult under this administration and since 9/11 but then that happens to be true. He even honestly said he thought the paper was more liberal than the majority of America. If anything this article is a pro American propaganda piece!
