CINA

Mistake, Ignorance or Persuasion?

The Hankyoreh is, according to Wikipedia, "a leftist daily newspaper in South Korea". But since some days you can find on its English online edition an (Google)advertisement for Scientology (Church of Scientology International/CSI):

In Germany CSI is seen as a totalitarian organization and is under observation by national security organizations due, among other reasons, to suspicion of violating the human rights of its members granted by the German Constitution..
In France, a parliamentary report classified Scientology as a dangerous cult..
Finally many critics describe CSI simply as a fascistic organization!

So why Hankyoreh is promoting CSI? Just because of a "mistake" or ignorance, resulted by its greed/effort to make some extra profit? Or is this an expression of a specific (political/"religious") persuasion?(*)

* Either way.. Apparently no problem(^^) for the self-proclaimed "left"! Just remember the "breedy" cooperation between NK's ruling gang (the Kim-Dynasty) with the S. Korean (hardcore anti-communist) Unification Church (see also "Pyeonghwa Motors")...
