conduct diplomacy on behalf of somebody who's being held against their will or, even more ridiculous, for him to directly challenge the North Korean regime while he's in the country?
This is the fucking problem with the American media. They'll go after a guy like Rodman, who has no real power or influence and whom nobody takes seriously, but they won't say boo to any of the politicians with real power who come on their shows and lie through their teeth because they're afraid of losing access.
I'm sorry, but I'm tired of watching people take shots at Rodman. If you watch the Vice documentary about his first trip to North Korea, you see that there is some utility to him going over there. Rodman and these basketball players are the first real Americans that the North Koreans have seen up close, and the message that he's tried to express in public over there, albeit clumsily, is that Americans are friends to the North Korean people, which stands in stark contrast to all of the state sponsored propaganda.
I seriously don't know what else you could expect from somebody like Rodman.
