Leaked north korean documentary exposes western propaganda.
- draq 14y agoHow do you imagine a world without "propaganda"? Mine would be one without this documentary.
- tagada 14y agoIt's scary how you're true!
- stefantalpalaru 14y agoIt's propaganda about propaganda and it seems targeted at westerners. Too many sensitive subjects for Dear Leader's flock.
- calciphus 14y agoLet's take a moment here and wonder a "documentary team" in a country with the kind of dictatorial control that North Korea has would have access to so much American TV footage. "Leaked"? You mean "released by the North Korean government"?
- ChuckMcM 14y agoIf you read the back story the translator believes exactly that, which is to say that the DPRK created it for westerners. What is interesting is that the website its on has completely bought into the message. They say things like "And jesus, is it on the f&k*g money." That suggests that it was targeted exactly to the sort of non-critical thinker/reader that the site "superchief" represents, and by all indications manages to hit on all of the sensitive spots. That is the point of propaganda, and whether it is anti-Semitic white supremacist crap or DPRK crap it requires that the person reading it check their assumptions at the door.
- bediger4000 14y agoThe definition of "reality tee vee" given: shows about "talentless narcissists who like to talk about themselves and go shopping". This is the kind of material that has endeared North Korea to propaganda cognoscenti everywhere.
