N. and S. Korea firing artillery at each other

Unlike North Korea, Belarus, the former Soviet Union, or China, we have a free and open press. The press is free to report or not report on what it likes.

The vast majority of the readership could care less what the DPRK does, unless it’s killing people or saber rattling.

The US does wargames and exercises constantly. The paper doesn’t report those either.

So yes, for the vast majority of wargames that may be conducted in the DPRK, they are non-news events.

I begin to get the impression you have no idea how a military functions. This is not a surprise.

I’m not buying your argument. My default Western news source is BBC News; hardly a day goes by without a highly critical “news” article about North Korea. Most recently, I read an article entirely dedicated to unsupported rumor-mongering about alleged DPRK nuclear facilities. Given that the BBC seems to enjoy spreading anti-socialist propaganda, you really expect me to believe that it chooses to ignore the low-hanging fruit of near-border military exercises? Even when it takes ecstatic joy in reporting every single South Korean military exercise that takes place? Just take a look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=south%20korea%20military%20exercise

Do you still wish to argue that military exercises are non-news? Very ignorant of you, my friend.
