What is wrong with the content?

무엇이 잘못되었나요?

It describes that the United States has inaugurated Syngman Rhee, who is favorable to the United States, as the South Korean leader(president), as if he were an American informant, but the fact is that Syngman Rhee was the president elected by voting in Korea’s first National Assembly known as the constitutional Assembly.

미국이 미국에 호의적인 이승만을 남한의 리더(대통령)로 취임시켰다고 서술하며 마치 미국의 앞잡이처럼 서술하는데, 이승만은 초대 국회에서 투표로 선출된 대통령입니다.

If so, how should it be properly explained?
