They didn’t.
And, ironically, they had to be informed of the failure by the Western journalists that they invited.
Did Kozmik dispute that, either before your post or after it?
I await the apology from ralph124c, when he realizes that his ideas on the matter were 180 degrees removed from reality, and he was 100% wrong.
<crickets>
Let me say something regarding Bush clearing food aid to North Korea. I never really had a problem with it. He was trying his goddamn hardest to use a carrot and stick approach. You behave, we’ll help with the famine. You don’t, no sandwiches. Those are pretty much the only tools we got in diplomatic relations with that crazy-ass nation. We can pressure China a tad to be a bit harder, but China’s kinda fucked. Tightening the screws on North Korea means more refugees flowing across the border into China. They don’t want that. What nation would?
Where ralpg124c is wrong, is that Obama doesn’t even seem to be trying. He won’t come out and say it, but his position really seems to be “fuck 'em, I got other things to deal with”.
n/m I meant to hit “edit” and I hit “quote”. whoops.
Sell them some Arkansas rice. Kids will eat and rice farmers here can pay their taxes.
Looks like his plan to appear unassuming worked.
They spent all their money on missiles. :smack:
Kim Jong Un:*** Launch? I said Lunch!***
dammit.
Kozmic, Why do you think they call them “editions”? It’s because they change and update the paper as news unfolds before the press run is finished. Geez.
In this edition there is no story on the front page (it’s on page A13) about the North Korea rocket fail; however, in this edition there is a story on the front page about the North Korea rocket fail. Why?
The editors had the story for both editions. For some inexplicable reason, it seems the editors decided that for the Late Edition (or New York Edition) the story would be on the front page but that for the National Edition, the story would not be on the front page but on page A13. Again, why?
This is really tedious. You obviously know nothing about newspaper publishing especially about national newspapters.
Not all editions are printed at the same time. One editiona will get printed, changes are made and then the next edition will be printed. When a paper like the NY Times is printing a million copies or more a day there is a time lag. The last edition to be printed is the New York Late Edition. This is most apparant for sport scores and results. There are different deadlines for different editions.
Obviously the NY Times was able to update the story for the later ecitions.
Get a clue.
Did you know that the Sunday NY Times is available on NYC newstands on Satureday evening? If you are a subscriber to the print edition of the Times in NYC you get half of the Sunday paper delivered to you on Saturday morning. If you wait until Sunday morning you can get a Late edition on the newsstand that is far more current than what you might have bought on Saturday night.
Do you get it? Not all editions come off the press at the same time and they don’t customize editioral based on editions. They customize it for breaking news, sports scores and advertisers who might want to run ads in the New York editon and not the National edition or vise versa.
Don’t be so thick.
I don’t live in New York City so…
Ok.
Ok.
Ok. So that explains why the New York Edition is also called the Late Edition.
That does not explain why in the Late Edition the (updated) story is on the front page but in the National Edition the story is not on the front page. Again, they had the same story for both editons. The story became front page news during the time lag. :dubious:
Ok.
I was hoping for a pin-wheel & a flag. Any chance the reporters will be bringing home any of those light-up glow sticks? They’re the Best.
