Will media fawn all over him too?
Via Free Beacon:
The North Korean regime is sending to the Olympic Closing Ceremonies a delegation of senior officials led by a terrorist widely believed to be responsible for orchestrating the sinking of a South Korean navy vessel that killed 46, a move that has drawn sharp protest from the Trump administration in conversations with the Washington Free Beacon.
North Korean official Kim Yong Chol, vice chair of the Communist hermit nation’s Party Central Committee, is scheduled to lead the delegation to South Korea in what is being viewed by senior U.S. administration officials as yet another provocation by North Korea’s hardline regime.
Despite Chol’s scheduled appearance, the international media—including prominent American outlets—have remained relatively quiet about the news, instead providing North Korea with fawning coverage during the Olympics. This included scores of reports praising the nuclear-ambitious nation’s efforts at so-called diplomacy.
The decision to send Chol—who is sanctioned by both the United States and South Korea for his alleged role in destroying the navy ship and other provocative moves—has drawn a sharp response from senior Trump administration officials, who slammed media outlets for buying into the North Korean regime’s massive propaganda machine, which they say has been working over time during the Olympic games this winter.
