They have a track record of this. Why did they throw the paragraph in there about rumors on the internet of a Japanese conspiracy? They did because there is an audience for this conspiracy theory in Korea. Instead of focusing the article on marginalizing the ultra-Korean nationalists who published the map they put a blurb in their about a Japanese conspiracy theory. Oh My News likes to think of themselves as a legitimate news outlet when they are really just a tabloid. But it's a tabloid that gets government funding. That is what I have a problem with.

Typical expat tactics. This is what you have a problem with: "Then who posted the original false maps, which caused such an outrage? Why did the maps become such a hit on Chinese BBSs? Some Koreans criticize the extreme perspectives of hoan-bba, a new term to indicate extreme nationalists, for causing these misunderstandings. On the other hand, some notes from Korean language bulletin boards and Chinese language ones guess that Japanese might have posted the maps with the purpose of stoking conflicts between Korea and China." The editor is just reporting what the bloggers in Korean and Chinese sites are guessing at. He's not saying it was "the evil Japs who did it". He's saying "they are blaming this on some Japanese". Even English as a second language person like myself understand what the difference is - which leads me to believe you're doing this deliberately to mislead and cause more hatred of Koreans and to portray yourselves as victims. It was some Chinese bloggers who first noticed the blatantly fake maps and blamed it on the Japanese. Of course, there is no proof that it was a Japanese who wanted to see Chinese and Koreans fighting. But we do know for sure somebody doctored the map to make Koreans look bad. So who do you think it was, and why? GI? Do you have any haunch? My bet is on a bitter expat who wants to see Koreans be hated by everyone. They're always posing as crazy Koreans on the english language blogs. Typical, taking an article and putting it out of context to prove how wacky Koreans are. Typical expat tactics.
