North Korea Uses Newtown Shootings to Denounce America

In an ongoing propaganda effort, North Korea uses calamity in the U.S. to highlight the supposed low quality of life there

North Korea’s official propaganda organ, Rodong Sinmun, ran a report on January 5th that uses the Newtown shootings that recently occurred in Connecticut to criticise the American  way of life.

The report, entitled “Corrupt Society,” depicts the United States as a lawless society where “Americans are reluctant to appear in pubic, fearing when and where they would be shot.” In addition, the report implicitly makes note of the ongoing gun debate currently happening in the U.S, by arguing that Obama “locks the door after the horse is gone from the stable.”
