When I heard the news that the former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld passed away, I remembered meeting him in Washington 10 years ago. In October 2011, I visited the former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld‘s office in Washington, DC to discuss various issues, including ROK-US relations.

One obstacle to productive public debate in the United States is the media’s tendency to engage in “false imbalance” when reporting on economic policies. No, I don’t mean “false balance.” False imbalance refers instead to the temptation to disparage policies that are in fact reasonable attempts to balance competing objectives. We have recently seen examples of this in US health care reform, as well as fiscal and monetary policy. The problem of false balance i
