Thanks to the 10,000 league for putting together this frankly hilarious look at the anti-North Korean propaganda industry. And it really is an industry. People living in western Europe and North America are bombarded with stories about North Korea – often centred around rumour, mysterious ‘intelligence’ sources, or the south Korean and US governments. A typical example is a story published this year by Yonhap news agency (a south Korean news company) claiming that south Korea had ‘captured a spy drone’ from the north. The ‘drone’ was examined by the south Korean military and, upon closer inspection, was revealed to be the door of a portable toilet and not, after all, a piece of sophisticated military hardware. 1: Spy drone Reported by Yonhap (rt): https://goo.gl/u053cr Photo superimposing done by Yonhap (rt): https://goo.gl/JgjxMc 2: Unicorns Reported by the guardian: http://goo.gl/JymczK Retracted by the guardian: http://goo.gl/J08ZPa Explain the time you met the DPRK ambassador: https://goo.gl/vO041k 3: 120 dog: Reported by Independent: http://goo.gl/9FMQoj Retracted by independent: http://goo.gl/r6Bzhx Click here for an explanation on the ‘120 dog’ story by Keith Bennet of the CPGB-ML: https://goo.gl/qdmoeu 4: Execution for watching foreign films Reported by Independent: http://goo.gl/A5v6j8 Pyongyang 13th International film festival: https://goo.gl/mS4b6j Comrade Kim Goes Flying: http://comradekimgoesflying.com/ 5: Executed girlfriend Reported by South Korean newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, business insider, Huffington Post, and the Telegraph.
