The Spin
Narrative A
Given that legacy media has sided with South Korea's deep state, one tends to believe that Yoon is indeed the bad guy that dragged his country into severe political turmoil — rather than the local China-funded Democratic Party, which has sought to seize the presidency without an election. Koreans are waking up to these lies and lawfare.
Narrative B
Yoon and his diehard supporters are stretching the limits of common sense and rationality as they cast doubt on the rule of law in South Korea and act as if the unconstitutional martial law decree wasn't enough for him to be impeached and arrested. It's about time for political leaders to counter these radical voices.
