Title: The Media's Love of North Korea
Post by: Scout26 on February 11, 2018, 02:01:54 PM
Scanning through Twitchy, it seems as if the MSM is totally in love is Kim's sister and her merry band of coordinated cheerleaders.

ABC, NBC, CNN, Reuters.  All the while ignoring the fact that if they get so much as a one move wrong that Mom, Dad, Brothers, Sisters, and extended family will be killed in vile and gruesome ways and/or sent to camps.

I'm so glad I don't have TV.

Case in point, perhaps: https://www.yahoo.com/news/column-nk-cheerleaders-campy-little-creepy-too-105846772.html

Totally synchronized "fans" in matching outfits -- and matching (permanent) smiles.

The US News media appreciates their betters in the propaganda game.

I thought there still was a war on. Just "demilitarized."  Somehow.

The war is currently being fought by dueling PR departments.

" even if some of their songs have been modified so to not offend at the Olympics."
I wonder what this is referring too.

It's sadly funny (not ha ha funny) that the media is swooning over sis. She is literally the head of NK propoganda, and her whole job right now is to make NK look like the best place in the world to live. The US MSM is buying it hook, line, and sinker and making NK seem like the US and the US seem like NK. Are any foreign news agencies doing the same thing? I haven't seen.

Anyway, some thoughts from former Norks:

This is the most 2017 story of 2017.

Oh. Wait.

You know, this kind of stuff makes it clear to me why the muslim countries think we are a bunch of easy marks, as well.

Because about half our country (and a larger proportion of the rest of the western world) IS.

Same old story.  If President Trump is against anything or anybody, most of the media will be for the anything or anybody.

Whatever Trump does or says is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
