The AP Loves Propaganda

The North Korean government can't feed its people or provide electricity, but boy does it have some nifty stamps.

Of course, my mortal enemies over at the Associated Press somehow neglected to report on that little part about the power outages, even though their competitors over at Reuters didn't seem to have any problems finding out about it.

One wonders why the AP whines so often about how "expensive" it is to bring the news to its readers in the modern era, when it doesn't seem to be all that adept at actually finding news to report.

Unless one considers repeating dictatorial government propaganda as "news gathering," that is.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:

The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
