In an article late Friday, the AP actually "explains" what the North Koreans really want when they announce that they are back at war with South Korea and the United States and threaten to use nuclear weapons to attack "enemy" targets like Los Angeles. Ready for this gem? What the North Koreans really want, says the AP, is negotiations leading to a permanent peace treaty. Actually, says the AP, the armistice agreement that was in place for the last 60 years was too "tenuous", so the NKs want a permanent treaty.
This nonsense was not written by some young stringer; the reporter is none other than the chief of the AP bureau in Korea. Really, according to the AP the agreement that last for sixty years was too fragile, so the North Koreans, peace loving folks that they are, really want a permanent treaty. And what better way to move towards a permanent treaty than to threaten nuclear war.
I often discuss the idiocy of mainstream news organizations like the AP. This latest article, however, is the single most moronic report I have ever seen in the media. One would think that the reporter would be just too embarrassed to write such slop. I guess nothing is so stupid as to reach that level.
