When is the American media going to mention South Korea had a bit to do with any summit??

South Korea and Moon and the SK election last year is being ignored by the media which as
always considers only the American point of view. South Korea is being purposely ignored in order to inflate the American role which was just rhetoric, not action.

Come on, America, and your navel-gazing media, get your head out of the sand for once and realize you do NOT control the world.

It really is disgusting to say Trump had anything to do with any Korean summit when ALL the work was done by the SK voters who demanded exactly this! Think the American mod-terms are important? The South Korea election last year was a sea change.

Decades of Warhawks military leaders have been either replaced or brought to heel...by the voters. Remember who invited North Korea to the Olympics...which itself was a major breakthrough? It was not Trump! It was not America's ambassador to South Korea, because that guy resigned in disgust. And still no ambassador. That is kind of relevant to mention, am I right?

Think the American media will ever mention any of that?

Our Media is looking for the next bleeder to lead with. Controversy or perceived controversy sells. Facts don't make the cut off in media Production meetings.
