Beat this Daily Mail

>> Thursday 14 January 2010

I honestly thought that the Daily Mail bought us the worlds worst, most nationalistic conservative bullshit but I think the Korean Times may have surpassed all odds today.
The earthquake in Haiti has obviously devestated the nation, with nearly 100,000 dead they have instead chosen to focus of the 7 Koreans that are missing. Seriously? They are not people? What the fuck?! They don't even mention the other thousands missing.
Argh! It annoys me so much. I hate crayy journalism and the Korean Times should win an award for it. The article is below. Does it give you rage too?


7 Koreans Missing in Haiti's Earthquake
By Kim Sue-youngStaff ReporterSeven South Koreans remain missing after the powerful magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti, foreign ministry officials said Wednesday. "The ministry tried to confirm the safety of about 70 South Koreans there but seven of them have not been reached yet," an official said.At least four of the seven still missing were said to have been staying at a hotel that collapsed in the quake Tuesday, he said. The earthquake was followed by a tsunami and two powerful aftershocks of magnitudes 5.9 and 5.5.The ministry said that there have been no South Korean casualties reported so far."We are making preparations to send a diplomat from a nearby country if any casualties are confirmed," the official said, asking to remain anonymous.Haiti's presidential palace and numerous other government buildings, many hotels and the headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping mission were severely damaged in the quake, according to news reports. Communications to the island, the most impoverished in the Western hemisphere, were also cut, they said. A diplomat working with Haiti out of the South Korean Embassy in the Dominican Republic said severed power and communication lines were slowing efforts to confirm the whereabouts of the missing South Koreans, according to Yonhap News."We are having difficulty trying to gather information as the communication network has gone down," Lee Eon-woo, the consul in the Dominican Republic, told Yonhap on the phone.
