it's crazy how many permutations of speculative articles the media has written when in reality they simply don't know anything

    I think that's an incidental side-benefit.

    The most common use of media by the western propaganda machine is to try and influence people INSIDE target countries, in order to try and dismantle that country. Since they have no means to create media inside it though and very little information their capabilities are degraded to this haphazard approach that involves guesswork and hope. They would prefer to create a Radio Free NorthKorea but obviously can't.

    In the long-long term it also forms the basis of trying to flip target individuals to the side of liberalism. They think she might one day be powerful, if they can lib her now then they can lib the country later.

      It's the reason why they CAN say all that stuff. If it was easy to discredit they wouldn't say it because they'd just lose credibility.

      These are not sold in the DPRK. Even if they were they're too stupid to convince someone who lives there, and most people wouldn't even be able to read them since I don't think most North Koreans have a good level of English understanding.

        I know. But the CIA knows that those in the upper government are reading international media.
