But this isn't about freedom or democracy. This is about foreign investment. The wealthy New Yorkers who subscribe to the times care about foreign investment, not freedom or democracy.

The NY Times is read across the country, because it's one of the few high quality newspapers left.

While I have never been to the US and the UK, the NYT and the Guardian are two places I occasionally stumble to, to find out what's going on in the world. Well, you don't have to be a New Yorker to read the NYT, and neither is its focus.

No, you just have to be left leaning for those news outlets to grab your attention. I also read them occasionally but pretty much avoid the NYT now or just read through the lines.

The theory here being that the NYT is running a story about the DPRK because they hope to profit off investment in North Korea?

I'm neither wealthy nor a New Yorker and I subscribe... . I care about democracy and freedom too.
