He writes a column on what he thinks are the 5 greatest shots in Masters history. 5. JACK NICKLAUS IN 1986 No list of great shots at Augusta National should exclude Jack Nicklaus, a six-time champion. His 30 on the back nine in 1986, which carried him to his sixth green jacket, was the most famous charge of all. If there was a signature moment, it happened on the par-3 16th. Nicklaus was coming off an eagle when he walked over to the 16th tee, which was playing about 175

In just amazes me how many times that media outlets fall for articles coming from The Onion as being real news: The online version of China’s Communist Party newspaper has hailed a report by The Onion naming North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as the “Sexiest Man Alive” – apparently unaware it is satire. The People’s Daily ran a 55-page photo spread on its website Tuesday in a tribute to the round-faced leader, under the headline “North Korea’s top leader named The Onion’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2012.” Quoting The

It wasn’t hard to tell that Lee contributed this bit: In downtown Pyongyang, university student Kim Kwang Jin was sanguine about the news.”I’m not too disappointed. There was always the chance of failure,” he

In response to the latest such case, the Defense Press Corps, composed of 25 outlets, is scheduled to hold a meeting Tuesday. The latest case involves The Korea Times’ report on the April 13 front-page interview article with U.S. Army Maj. Gen. John A. Macdonald, titled, “Korea, US closer on

I highly recommend that everyone go over to One Free Korea and read his ongoing coverage about how the AP has compromised what journalistic ethics they had to open a news bureau in North Korea that is now publishing North Korean propaganda in America’s newspapers.  As One Free Korea correctly states the AP is now not even crediting who wrote the articles and took the photographs from North Korea any longer likely because they are actual Kim regime journalists that did the work: Has anyone else noticed that the AP’s

The Korea Times is now involving the ROK Drop in their sensationalized journalism activities with their recent article about my posting on the increase in USFK crime: The number of U.S. soldiers found guilty in Korean courts of committing crimes has jumped more than 2.5 times over the past five years, according to an analysis of court results posted on the website of the United States Forces Korea (USFK). The analysis shows that only 48 U.S. servicemen were convicted in courts here in 2007, but the number soared to 66
