RETHINKING: Before Thanksgiving, North Korean Obsession

Dear Friends:

A day before the Thanksgiving Holiday, the American newspapers are full of international news, the majority of them related to North Korea.

In the domestic side, the big issue is the sexual misconduct of politicians, journalists and celebrities. It seems an epidemic without a clear end.

Today, Wall Street Journal is launching a suggestive question: “Will Romney run for Senate?” It is important to remark that after a period of “silence”, the name of the former Republican candidate for the presidency is returning to the headlines.

Other relevant news from yesterday evening in different newspapers was the resignation of Meg Whitman as CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Normally, this kind of news is not important when journalists and newspapers have a lot of talk about politics or economy. In the last days, there is nothing really important from the White House and Congress.

Our journalists are more interested in how the North Korean live and their internal problems than our own problems. By the way, in Twitter, somebody wrote about the North Korean women who are soldiers and the rape problems in the army of that country. (But in the Communist countries nobody talks about sexual misconduct of the leaders.)

I would like to share with you my comments about some news this morning in the blog sector of WSJ.
