The mainstream media cozies up to North Korea

Source: 15 Media Outlets that Colluded with North Korea to Romanticize Their Slave State

Now that normal Americans have completely written off the disgraced institution of the American media, these amoral news outlets have been forced to pander to the only audience they have left — the far-left.

This is why, over the weekend, we witnessed almost every major news outlet prostitute itself to offer North Korea’s Hitler the kind of positive press coverage President Trump would never receive, even if he rescued our economy and decimated the Islamic State (oh, wait, he did).

Yep, over the weekend, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, ABC, NBC, PBS, even the Wall Street Journal… these big media outlets (and more) colluded with murderous North Korean tyrants to normalize their slave state, to romanticize a murderous regime that comes complete with concentration camps, public executions in the thousands, and actual slaves.

Yep, over the weekend, the same media outlets that see only evil in Trump’s every utterance, colluded with a North Korea that regularly threatens our nuclear annihilation (and is aggressively seeking the means to do so), that starves and tortures its own people by the millions, and is in reality a massive prison camp disguised as a country.

Oh, and North Korea kills Americans … slowly … they die soon after they are returned home.

No one should have to explain to anyone with anything approaching moral literacy why there is no difference between North Korea and the Nazis — except for the tragic fact that communist North Korea has existed about 50 years longer than the socialist Third Reich.

More than anything else, though, in order to sustain their statist terror, what these murderous regimes count on is propaganda, and not just internal propaganda, but the complicity of western media outlets to put a shiny, happy face on their gangsterism — to normalize, even glamorize them.

Throughout our own history, the American media have all-too often done exactly that. Monstrous tyrants such as Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Mao Tse-tung, Yasser Arafat, and Ho Chi Minh, have all enjoyed rock star coverage from our media.

Driven by the statist impulses that animate too many on the political left, and their own seething hatred for everyone on the political right, our media has always been willing to idealize and homogenize the enemy of their enemy (conservatives) — even if that enemy engages in mass-slaughter and refuses even basic humans rights to billions.

What you will see below is 100 percent real. Because this stuff is so shocking and amoral, we double-checked to ensure no forgeries slipped through. Oddly enough, there are plenty of forgeries flying around on social media, but none of that satire could top the grotesquerie of our media’s actual propaganda in favor of North Korea.

As you will also see below, much of the media’s collusion with North Korean is driven by this disgraced institution’s uncontrollable hatred of President Trump, his daughter Ivanka, Vice President Pence, and America itself.

Finally, keep in mind that King Jong Un’s sister runs [concentration camps], that those North Korean cheerleaders are all slaves, and that this is exactly the kind of coverage this evil regime was hoping for…

Pretty sure the press and the liberals of the world cheered on Hitler in the 1936 Olympics.

This is a no brainer, the North Korean regime hates Trump, therefore they are morally good and praise worthy...

A link going to the story itself rather than a small reproduction of the page.

They are probably just trying to appease him since California/Hawaii would be his first targets.

The story is that the media back then was naive and ignorant about who Hitler really was, but I'm not sure I really believe that. I wonder, in 80-years, will historians be making the same excuse for today's fawning coverage of the murderous North Korean regime? "They didn't know any better!"

[Mountain Man]

'The media’s bizarre swoon over the crisp black suits, aristocratic poise, and “deadly side-eye” of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un’s sister Kim Yo-jong was stunning and offensive to sane people everywhere, but it is not difficult to understand. The media hate President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and will reflexively make common cause with anyone who can make them look bad. Along those lines, CNN ran a Trump and Pence-bashing piece on Monday morning sourced entirely to “a senior diplomatic source close to North Korea.”

'In other words, CNN ran North Korean propaganda as a straight-up news story, without reservations or a single word of criticism.'

I have heard that Kim yo Jong is possibly more dangerous than her brother. Honestly fawning over her seems like fawning over thrysmachus.

Let's have a look at some of those "actual examples".

Breitbart points to CNN as an example. Here is a quote from that particular article:

But as North Korea's brutal dictator, Kim's brother has ruled with an iron fist since coming to power, operating Nazi-style prison camps, repressing political opposition and even executing senior officers and his own family members in an effort to consolidate power.http://edition.cnn.com/2018/02/10/as...cs1126AMVODtop

And from The New York Times:

Others said they were horrified by the notion that Ms. Kim could lull South Koreans, or anyone else, into forgetting the North’s repression and human rights abuses.

“That’s the face of the Kim family, which wouldn’t even flinch when tens of thousands of people died for it,” one Twitter user wrote. “I see the arrogance and ruthlessness that one cannot find in people who grew up in a free society.” https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/11/w...imes&smtyp=cur

From the same article:

But they drew a sharp line between the athletes and citizens of North Korea, on one hand, and the dignitaries sitting in the stands representing Kim Jong-un’s regime on the other.

“I think Kim Jong-un is really a bad person and a villain,” said Park Keon-ho, 24, a computer science student at Korea University of Technology and Education. “But I love North Koreans. I think North Koreans and South Koreans were all together as one family, and we come from the same root.”

From The Washington Post

If the outside world is puzzled by this regime that threatens nuclear war and deprives its people of food and information, just imagine how strange North Korea seems to those in the South. They speak the same language, share the same myths, love the same food. Yet the leaders are so foreign. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/11/w...imes&smtyp=cur

From the same article:

Indeed, CSIS’s Terry warned against being sucked in by Kim’s good-cop routine. “Kim Yo Jong is totalitarianism with a human face,” she said. “She is acting as a goodwill ambassador for a country that has earned no goodwill.”

From CNN's coverage:

[Sparko]

From CNN's coverage:

Yeah let's ACTUALLY read the article, not just YOUR snippet.

(CNN)If "diplomatic dance" were an event at the Winter Olympics, Kim Jong Un's younger sister would be favored to win gold.
With a smile, a handshake and a warm message in South Korea's presidential guest book, Kim Yo Jong has struck a chord with the public just one day into the PyeongChang Games.

"I hope Pyongyang and Seoul get closer in our people's hearts and move forward the future of prosperous unification," she said in her guest book message, referring to the capitals of North and South Korea.
Seen by some as her brother's answer to American first daughter Ivanka Trump, Kim, 30, is not only a powerful member of Kim Jong Un's kitchen cabinet but also a foil to the perception of North Korea as antiquated and militaristic.

But as North Korea's brutal dictator, Kim's brother has ruled with an iron fist since coming to power, operating Nazi-style prison camps, repressing political opposition and even executing senior officers and his own family members in an effort to consolidate power.

In Pyeongchang, her presence is a major story line for reporters and the buzz on the street, with some in South Korea curious and accepting, while others are skeptical, if not downright cynical.
"Her being here is not that bad, but I feel North Korea has shown up to the Olympics without paying," said Yoon Jun-young, 23, indicating that the nation hasn't made any political concessions to mirror its participation on the international sporting stage.
Kate Yoo, 21, who like Yoon spoke to CNN during Saturday's hockey match between Switzerland and the unified Korean team, said she doesn't think it's "the best thing to have her here, although maybe part of having one of the Kim dynasty over is like a safeguard, then they won't attack."

Other than that small aside which you quoted, the entire article is CNN gushing all over her. Just like Breitbart said.

I'm with Charles. It appears that the Brietbart author just looked at Twitter headlines without reading the articles. More examples:

Twitter headline (Reuters): "North Korea judged winner of diplomatic gold at Olympics"
Article: "That is the assessment of a former South Korean government minister and political experts who say the North has used the Games to drive a wedge between South Korea and its U.S. ally and to potentially ease pressure on its sanctions-crippled state."

Twitter headline (ThinkProgress): "Despite Mike Pence’s sabotage, North Korea’s ‘charm offensive’ appears to be working"
Article: "And while the vice president seems to be dodging diplomatic engagement, the U.S.’s disarmament envoy at the U.N. accused North Korea of a 'charm offensive' that is 'frankly fooling no one.'"

Twitter headline (The New Yorker): "The Mesmerizing Spectacle of North Korea’s “Army of Beauties” cheerleaders 📣 at the Winter Olympics"
Article: "It will be absurd, in Pyeongchang, to watch one of the world’s most repressive, totalitarian nations attempt to deploy two hundred and thirty smiling women as a diplomatic shield."

This is what you should expect if you insulate yourself in propaganda: taking everything they say at face value when even minimal effort would prove them wrong. Ironic considering the subject matter.

Wow those were really short articles PM. Thanks for posting them here so we can read the context.

They are all linked to in the OP Breitbart article. Are you commenting on the thread without having read the article it's about?

I read the articles. I noticed you just did like charles and selected a sentence out of context that said what you wanted to say while accusing Breitbart of doing the exact same thing! And not only that but you selectively avoided doing the same to the main articles and chose some oddball ones like New Yorker and ThinkProgress.

You are just as bad as you accuse Brietbart of being. Shame on you.
