    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.

    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.
