Washington Times president meets with Kim Jong-Il!

[From the diaries -- Hunter]

Yesterday, from the North Korean state propaganda service (http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm), reports of the Republican cult meeting personally with the dictator:

Pyongyang, August 16 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il Tuesday received Joo Dong Mun, president of the Washington Times Corporation, on a visit to Pyongyang. On the occasion the president offered his congratulations to Kim Jong Il on the 60th anniversary of Korea's liberation.

Kim Jong Il welcomed the Pyongyang visit of the president, had a cordial talk with him and posed for a photograph with him.

You can read more here on the Times (http://iapprovethismessiah.com/2005/08/welcome-krso-and-air-america-listeners.html) as an unusual channel to the North -- where Tony Blankley cranks out editorials downstairs savaging Clintonian diplomacy, while the people upstairs secretly do business with Kim in the name of fighting Satan, even drafting the Republican mouthpiece into their quest.

Interestingly, the Stalinist news wire scooped the Times itself, which hasn't explained the visit in its pages (http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=%22washington+times%22+%22north+korea%22&btnG=Search+News).

On an unrelated but amusing note, the North Korean news service is the only entity other than Christopher Hitchens that uses the phrase "sinister piffle," according to Google.
The Conservative newspaper, The Washington Times, is helping to run North Korea's propaganda machine. Isn't THAT interesting?!

Conservatives blasted Al-Jazeera, because their leader had several discreet meetings with Iraqi officials, years ago, (despite the fact that Al-Jazeera has traditionally opposed Hussein, before the war, and the Iraqi Ministry of Information denounced them as liars).

So.. What do you think of the Washington Times doing this? Selling their souls to the devil.

Dude, the Washington Times was started by the Moonies. Rev. Sun Young Moon still partly bankrolls the publication as far as I know. They're going to be whacky when it comes to Korea.

Moonie claims he is jesus. Don't paint him, his paper or anyone that works there as a republican.

It isn't just "wacky."

So far as I'm concerned, the Washington Times is colloborating with terrorists.

I looked for news on North Korea from http://www.washingtontimes.com/

And... Strangely-enough... All of their news seems to have a Pro-North Korean slant. :eek:

It looks just like the propaganda on the Chinese government's official newspaper.
