(London) The BBC in England airs a current affairs program at 2230hrs every weekday evening. Called 'Newsnight' they discuss the major issues of the day. This evening they opened with North Korea and they started by getting a former British Ambassador to North Korea (Who left 3 years before Kim Jong-un took control in Dec 2011) to relate to the camera, what a nice family man the dictator of North Korea is. Here, don't take my word for it, here's the actual film clip:

Then the BBC brings out Laura Rosenberger who used to be foreign affairs officer on the State Department’s Korea desk. Who whilst trying to explain Nort Korea recent history is prompted time and time again by the presenter to say that actually GWB and Trump are to blame for the North Korean Nuke stand off. Whilst leaving out that actually , the previous Obama administration is more to blame than anything else.

Of late the BBC has been castigated for its leftwing bias, and people go out of their way to defend it, But whitewashing a megalomaniac short fat dictator armed with nukes and has said he is happy to use them as a affable family man. I'm sure his Uncle whom he had shot with an anti-aircraft gun, or his brother who was jabbed with nerve agent might not have agreed with the above synopsis.
