The group says it is pursuing objectivity to ensure an unbiased choice for voters, and is taking a close look at mainstream broadcasts, six daily newspapers and political talk shows from four TV programming channels. “(From March 15-17) The Korea Broadcasting Service (KBS) reported on 17 North Korean threats over three days, which is triple that of © Korea Risk Group.
