And if ya can't trust KCNA, who can you trust?
SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea's state media said on Thursday that recent news reports about its leader Kim Jong-il's health were false, in their first direct comment on the reclusive ruler's suspected illness. U.S. and South Korean officials said last month Kim may have suffered a stroke in August, raising questions about leadership in Asia's only communist dynasty and who was making decisions about its nuclear arsenal.
"The army and people of the DPRK (North Korea) hold the prestige of their top leader dearer than their lives and will never tolerate any act of defaming it," the North's official KCNA news agency.
Wonder if we'll be reading a phrase like that in the Times in the not too distant future?
KCNA called the Japanese newspaper report "a whopping lie."
...by human scum, no doubt.
"What merits serious attention is that the two newspapers had temerity to let loose sheer sophism intended to hurt the dignity of the DPRK while talking about the 'abnormal health condition' of the top leader of the DPRK," KCNA said, calling the publications "reptile papers."
Human scum publish reptile papers. Film at eleven...
