Chojoongdong
Chojoongdong ( ko, 조중동, ), abbreviated as CJD, is a pejorative term which refers to three highly circulated conservative newspapers in South Korea. The word is an acronym of the ''Chosun'', '' Joong-ang'' and ''Dong-a Ilbo'' newspapers, and the grouping is seen as forming the basis of South Korea's conservative media. The term was used by ''The Hankyoreh'' editor Jung Yeonju ( ko, 정연주) in October 2000. Korean liberals criticize Chojoongdong primarily because of their conservative-biased editorial stances and doing business in a collusive and surreptitious manner. Since 2008, some critics of CJD have claimed that there is a close relationship between CJD and the Lee Myung-bak government. As of 2010, the market share of ''Chosun'', ''Joong-ang'' and ''Dong-a Ilbo'' is 24.3%, 21.8%, and 18.3%, respectively. Nearly 58% of printed newspaper subscribers in South Korea read one of the three daily news. In December 2011, ''Chosun Ilbo'' opened their own cable news network. C ...

Conservatism In South Korea
Conservatism () in South Korea is chiefly associated with the People Power Party (South Korea). Traditional South Korean conservatism is a political and social philosophy characterized by Korean culture traditions originating from Confucianism. South Korean conservative parties largely believe in the following; a developmental state, pro-business, opposition to labor unions, strong national defense, anti-communism, pro-communitarianism, pro-US-KR relations and recently free trade and neoliberalism. Starting from the dictatorship of Syngman Rhee, South Korean conservatism has been influenced from the military dictatorships of Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan. In domestic policy, South Korean conservatism has a strong elitist streak and promotes rapid modernization and social stability. However, since the mid-to-late 2010s, conservatives with populist tendencies have become more prominent in the public sphere. Unlike conservatives in the United States, conservatives in South Kor ...

Partido Da Imprensa Golpista
''Partido da Imprensa Golpista'' (''PiG'', en, Pro-coup Press Party) is a term used by left-wing Brazilian websurfers since 2007 to characterize an alleged attitude of the Brazilian mass media towards President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva during the 2006 presidential election. The term was popularized by journalist Paulo Henrique Amorim in his blog. Whenever he uses the term, Amorim writes it with an "i" in lowercase as a pun with the name of the web portal where he was a journalist before he was dismissed on March 18, 2008, which he describes as a process of "ideological cleansing". The term is also used by journalists Luiz Carlos Azenha and Rodrigo Vianna on their blogs, which also helped to spread its popularity. The term gained notoriety when it was first used in the Brazilian Congress in a speech by Pernambuco Congressman Fernando Ferro, a member of the Workers' Party. He said that film director and Rede Globo commentator Arnaldo Jabor should run for "President of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Boycott
A boycott is an act of nonviolent, voluntary abstention from a product, person, organization, or country as an expression of protest. It is usually for moral, social, political, or environmental reasons. The purpose of a boycott is to inflict some economic loss on the target, or to indicate a moral outrage, to try to compel the target to alter an objectionable behavior. The word is named after Captain Charles Boycott, agent of an absentee landlord in Ireland, against whom the tactic was successfully employed after a suggestion by Irish nationalist leader Charles Stewart Parnell and his Irish Land League in 1880. Sometimes, a boycott can be a form of consumer activism, sometimes called moral purchasing. When a similar practice is legislated by a national government, it is known as a sanction. Frequently, however, the threat of boycotting a business is an empty threat, with no significant effect on sales. Etymology The word ''boycott'' entered the English language during the ...
