There have actually been quite a few pro-U.S. rallies in the past two weeks, none of them getting much press in either S. Korean or international press. The one mentioned here was actually far larger than any of the anti-U.S. street rallies plastered throughout our media. There were also rallies taking place at military bases, a rally sponsored by war veterans, and some combined pro-U.S./pro-Japan rallies. This was surprising to me, as our media seems to portray us as an evil presence in the region.

Yeah, you sure wouldn't see it in the Korean papers. God forbid. Even the pro-government rags like Korea Herald don't cover it. It's scary how little press any pro-U.S. stuff gets--I wonder why AFN doesn't cover it!?!? You'd think they'd be ecstatic to have something besides 'The new berets are in!' and my favorite, 'Special Alert--Don't knock over Coke machines!!'
