So, what do those North Koreans think of us, anyway?
NK-News.net offers a searchable database of articles from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the official press outlet of North Korea (otherwise known as the People's Democratic Republic of Korea: DPRK).
The official KCNA archive lacks a search engine. So the nice guys at NK-News (who live in San Francisco and are not associated with the KCNA or DPRK), have developed a search engine for the KCNA archive, which will pull up whatever terms you're looking for in KCNA articles dating back to 1996.
Lest you think that Al Franken, Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter are the height of demagoguery, they are feather-weights in comparison to the lambasting, fire-breathing voice of the DPRK channeled through the KCNA.
Do one of the suggested searches for "human scum"... my particular favorite result is "KCNA Blasts Hwang Jang Yop's Hysteric Remarks", where this Hwang Jang Yop fellow is described as, well, human scum! (A term also reserved for Donald Rumsfeld - who alternately is described as a "political dwarf"...) Later in the article Hwang Jang Yop is referred to as an "ugly looking man". In the DPRK, this is the propaganda, er, news that's fit to print...
In the US, we may complain about Fox News, but at least we have 1,000 alternatives... in the DPRK, you'll listen to the KCNA and like it. Or else.
DPRK - government or cult? You decide:
