Rocket-Man

The Economist (www.economist.com) se esta convirtiendo en una revista de comedia. Todo aquello que no le gusta, que le parece incorrecto, lo presenta como lo "grotesco" y hace una bajada de linea constante. Ya hemos visto como presentaba a Bolivia, veamos ahora como presenta a Korea del Sur:

..."With its medieval economy and eccentric leader, the Hermit Kingdom often seems more tragi-comic than threatening. By many measures, North Korea is not even the most terrifying country in Asia; that dubious honour belongs to Pakistan (see leader and survey). Evil though Mr Kim undoubtedly is, the chief dangers his regime poses to outsiders are often accidental: that one of its rockets will unintentionally hit Japan, or that North Korea's economy will collapse (something that terrifies both China and South Korea). Mr Kim claimed that his previous launch—of a Taepodong missile over Japan in 1998—put into orbit a satellite which then warbled patriotic tunes back from space. In fact, although that rocket flew farther than this week's ones, its final stage plopped into the Pacific"...

Esta clase de argumentos me suena a ese q hacia Homero Simpsons cuando decia: Pero si era tan inteligente, por que se murio?. Y mas aun, esta clase de frases:..."North Korea is not even the most terrifying country in Asia; that dubious honour belongs to Pakistan"... parecen sacadas de Married with children.
