Daily NK is a recipient of funding from multiple institutions and private donors, including the National Endowment for Democracy,
lmao, lol
extremely reliable propaganda you’ve got here
I’ll take it over the literal slop of propaganda that comes out of NK, it’s definitely more reliable than that at the least.
oh and just as a quick addendum, i feel compelled to point out that the daily nk is literal propaganda slop. that is its actual purpose!
The organization is part of a consortium with the Unification Media Group, which is a South Korea–based non-profit organization that produces and delivers radio content into North Korea via short-wave radio broadcasts.
like it’s not even pretending to be subtle. even the fucking wiki page admits it.
Where are you seeing NK media? lol
I’ll take it over the literal slop of propaganda that comes out of NK, it’s definitely more reliable than that at the least.
lol, we’ve upset the libs who have to hate our designated enemies
I guarantee you have not read a single piece of actual propaganda from Korea in your entire life.
Like what?
i’m sure you would, but that doesn’t really say anything about the veracity of the claims presented. it just tells us where your biases lay. did you know that under SK’s National Security Act it’s functionally illegal to say anything positive about the north? like, this is a real verified law that we know exists and does (more or less) what the article says the north is doing. meanwhile the article gives us gems like
According to a Daily NK source in North Hamgyong province recently, four people in their twenties were arrested in Chongjin by local state security officers for talking like South Koreans.
wow, extremely verifiable! the daily nk is run out of seoul, takes CIA cutout (NED) money, and relies exclusively on anonymous sources, so it simply must be believed.
a question for you to ponder: if i asked all the people who most hated you and wished to see you dead what their opinion on you was, and then formed my opinions exclusively on their word, would you consider that fair? would you consider it “definitely […] reliable”? you don’t need to answer, but do give it some thought.
Could you even FIND any “NK” propaganda if you tried, or are you just considering anything outside the US imperial propaganda sphere (the biggest and most pervasive in history) to be “enemy propaganda”? Seriously, I want to know where in the english_speaking internet you think people are even encountering northern perspectives at all. Because this seems to me like the laziest, most ridiculous “no u”.

It came to me in a dream
Every time I see this picture she looks more and more like a robot with a rubber face
no they don’t
Ohh, this wake the bear.
We take our fake news comm very seriously and ask that all fake news be contained within
This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas.
The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.
"Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-fucker,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”
“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofabitchh deny it.”
It’s insane how eager they are to go to bat for NK
Why won’t someone defend the NK when they’re literally fighting for their freedom? They’re literally blockaded by the US and threatened with invasion drills every single year, not to mention that the US literally occupies the south with military bases.
it’s more wild how eager libs are to insist that a small, relatively poor country that has no real relevance to most people’s lives is some kind of wacky hermit kingdom where you can be executed by artillery strike for having the wrong haircut, every city is made of cardboard for propaganda purposes, and people have to push the trains along the tracks
especially when all of this is presented with no evidence, is often directly contradictory, and makes absolutely no sense if you think about it for more than five minutes

Lift the economic sanctions and the yearly invasion drills before talking gringo garbage.
