1. [+58, -10] America's an advanced country for a reason... If this had happened in Korea, nothing would've been done about it...

2. [+42, -6] Reminds me of how our own country's Channel A said that it was fortunate that the deaths were Chinese and not Korean... I'm still so endlessly embarrassed by that

3. [+35, -3] What drugs do you have to be on to be able to say something like that on the news

4. [+12, -6] What happened with Channel A?

5. [+12, -4] Farewell ㅋㅋ

Article: Channel A receives a warning for 'fortunate that the deaths were Chinese' statement

1. [+151, -13] Don't just give them a warning, make it so that they can never be news anchors again. I don't care if it's a cable channel, how can an anchor say something like that?

2. [+119, -15] How did he even become an anchor??? This is why he's only working on cable (and not public broadcast)

3. [+11, -4] That guy had to have been crazy

5. [+5, -3] I thought he'd be fired, they're going to keep him? I don't watch cable anyway, so...

6. [+4, -0] Really, only a warning? The president even had to apologize because of what he said. Shouldn't he be fired?
