Nicholas Kristof Repeats North Korean Propaganda on Social Media
2017-09-30
[FREEBEACON] New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
columnist Nicholas Kristof on Friday echoed North Korean propaganda that says droves of its citizens are signing up to join the military after President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's speech before the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
General Assembly last week.

Kristof wrote on Instagram that "every kid" at a high school in North Korea "supposedly signed up to join the army after the Trump speech to the U.N," referring to Trump's address on Sept. 19 when he said the U.S. will "totally destroy North Korea" if forced to defend itself or its allies.

"They said they'll keep studying until war breaks out, which some say could happen any time," Kristof continued. "It's all part of a mass ideological mobilization‐yet here the kids are still practicing their singing. At a factory, the manager likewise told me that all 1,500 employees had signed up for the army in Monday, yet they were still at work."

#2  Er... Isn't every kid in high school required to do a stint in the military in North Korea? Not to mention the military gets first (or second after Kim and the party) dibs on food?
My guess is that there is some sort of incentive involved. "Extra rations if you join now! Even up to half rations!".

#1  It's good to know the NYT hasn't changed a bit in 80 years. How many North Koreans eggs were broken to make Kristoff's omelette?
