he New York Post is the 13th-oldest newspaper published in the United States and is generally acknowledged[citation needed] as the oldest to have been published continuously as a daily, although – as is the case with most other papers – its publication has been periodically interrupted by labor actions.[2] Since 1993, it has been owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, which had owned it previously from 1976 to 1988. It is the seventh-largest newspaper in the U.S. by circulation.[3] Its editorial offices are located at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, in New York City, New York. The Post is known for its right-wing orientation and sensationalist headlines.

This is epic. Just defend the point. Why dig on the source that to from wiki ????
Read almost all the posts by Chineses friends. Guies you have to comment on article and defend it.
Why are you showing Korean curuption ??? If you want to do that open a new thread. But atleast prove that this is wrong news by facts and counter news. Not by attacking.
Plus Mr. Fairansunbias : all world media is enclined to Right-wing from 1900. So it's not a news. But they just don't print anything. They have to back their claim. Or anyone can sue them

Everyone knows Lee Myung Bak is a corrupt man, but his corruption accusations predates his swearing into office, not the direct bribe-takings/embezzlement kind of corruption. Lee Myung Bak made his money by using confidential information to buy land on the cheap before the development project is announced, and lobbied things to go his way as a private businessman like moving a final location of a subway station right in front of land he owned.

If is a pretty different kind of corruption as he was using insider information to enrich himself as a private businessman before his political career, not as a government official taking bribes and embezzling money. Improper use of his authority as major and president is something that even his harshest critics could not uncover.



President Roh was innocent, he decided to take the hit for his wife who took $300K for unknown reason. He did this to stop the investigation against his wife(and the prosecution stopped investigation against her in the aftermath), not because he was corrupt.


- Yi Seungman : Not corrupt. He resigned because of his intention to run for 3rd term.
- Park Jong Hee : Not corrupt. His daughter leads the presidential race today because of the extremely positive image inherited from his father who was considered a selfless patriot who left his children $300K when he was assassinated.
- Jun Do Hwan : Corrupt <= Took $300 million, Court took back $200 million to date
- Noh Tae Woo : Corrupt <= Took $300 million, Court took back $250 million to date
- Kim Young Sam : Not corrupt. It was his son selling his father's name.
- Kim Dae Joong : Corrupt.
- Roh Moo Hyun : Not corrupt.
- Lee Myung Bak : Not corrupt as a politician. The corruption allegations predates his time in office and he is accused of betting on insider information as a private business.

So why does Lee Myung Bak have no corruption allegations while in office? Because of the extensive monitoring system by political parties and the press. The opposition parties constantly dig dirt on the other party's members, so it is difficult to be corrupt while in office as the other guys are constantly looking for any dirt. Likewise the conservative press dig dirt on left-wing politicians, and the leftwing press dig dirt on the conservative politicians.

I find it surprising that a "Korean" can't spell Park Chung Hee correctly, and call Syngman Rhee, Syngman Yi, despite his actual last name being Lee which is closer to the English Rhee. I also find it surprising that you don't know Park Chung Hee was a Japanese general named Takagi Masao who was a key player in the killing of Koreans.

This is interesting because no real Korean would call Syngman Rhee, Syngman Yi.

I find it interesting that you say "no Koreans say Park is corrupt" when there's a book written by the Korean Yi Pyong Chon that says the exact opposite.

I don't expect anything from the CCP. I expect Chinese public to rise up like 1989 and overthrow communists to find their liberties and freedom.

Suggestion: You should pay more attention to your north brothers and sisters.

I think keeping mistresses and concubines is part of the Chinese tradition and culture. The more the powerful and rich a man is, the more the concubines he can keep. Its not really looked down upon in China, but its considered a status symbol for the man for having pretty and large number of concubines and a source of livelihood for the concubine and her family and a matter of prestige too if her master is powerful man.
Only in recent times has the Chinese government made illegal for government official the keeping of the mistresses/concubines. This has nothing to do with morality, but to control corruption. Keeping mistresses is very expensive and the government officials have to indulge in corruption to obtain the necessary funds. It was very obvious that any government official who kept mistresses was also most likely to be corrupt.

He is not an Indian you dumb turd eating Bangladeshi. I understand your paranoia about Indians seeing as how we use your pole vaulters for target practice but get a grip man!

That must have been one hell of a pole vaulting from India to Muslim majority Indonesia. You should have been on the Indian Olympic team. You could win the only Gold medal for India.

Why are Indians ashamed of their own country ? Such a shame.
