S. Korean Conservative Media Ill-famed for Misinformation

Pyongyang, January 21 (KCNA) -- Conservative media of south Korea have come under criticism and derision by the public at home and abroad for their intensified slanders against the DPRK after it suffered the great loss to the nation.

Chinese paper Huan Qiu Shibao on Friday carried an article by its correspondent in south Korea, which said:

Media of south Korea are making much ado about various sorts of misinformation. Among them is a gossip that China will help build a nuclear power plant for the DPRK.

Choongang Ilbo on Thursday reported two pieces of news aimed at China. One is that China is making preparations to build a nuclear power plant in the Rason Economic Trade Zone of the DPRK. The other is that China may offer an aid of food amounting to hundreds of thousands of tons to keep stability in the DPRK.

Yonhap News on Thursday continued to slander the DPRK. It reported that the DPRK is now suffering from "shortage of power and drinking water" and the price of goods is "skyrocketing" there. -0-

S. Korea′s Conservative Media Flailed for Anti-DPRK Campaign

Pyongyang. January 21 (KCNA) -- Some media organs of south Korea are now dancing to the tune of the Lee Myung Bak regime's anti-DPRK rhetoric. As regards the fact, KCNA had an interview with an officer of the Korean People's Army (KPA), Jang Il Guk, and Ri Pok Sun, a department director of the C.C., the Journalists Union of Korea.

Question: The ultra-rightist conservative media of south Korea, including KBS, Tong-A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo, are misrepresenting the situation of the DPRK and even slandering its supreme leadership. How do you think about this?

Jang Il Guk: KBS is misleading public opinion in favor of the south Korean regime, but nobody will be deceived by its misinformation.

Our servicepersons, with defending the headquarters of the revolution as their main mission, are determined to smash KBS taking the lead in the anti-DPRK campaign.

Anyone who dares slander the supreme leadership of the DPRK will be a target of our revolutionary forces, wherever they are.

If their ceaseless provocations lead to a war, what the DPRK will achieve is national reunification and what it will lose is the Military Demarcation Line dividing the country into two parts.

Ri Pok Sun: Objectivity and impartiality are vital to media activities. But the conservative media of south Korea only fawn on the power.

It is shameful for them to ignore their mission and duty and serve the group of traitors denounced by the people.

The media of the Korean nation are obliged to conduct patriotic activities encouraging all the Koreans to make efforts for the country's independent reunification.

Doing treacherous acts, daunted by pressure, will lead to self-destruction.

The conservative media of south Korea deserve nationwide condemnation for their hack activities going against the trend of the times and the aspiration of the nation and fanning confrontation between the fellow countrymen. -0-
