Despite all the evidence that North Korea is a communist hellhole which no sane person would ever want to live in, somehow U.S. Olympic commentators are naively intrigued by the totalitarian regime. Naturally, the South Koreans are baffled by this startling fascination ~ South Koreans Found American Media’s Infatuation With Kim Jong Un’s Sister ‘Mind-Boggling’

A variety of media outlets drew criticism for writing warmly about Kim Yo Jong, a director of propaganda for the rogue country, with several stories noting she smiled a lot as part of a “charm offensive.” She is North Korea’s propaganda and agitation director, playing a key role in the cult of personality around her brother’s dictatorship.
 
Despite this and North Korea’s abysmal human rights record, CNN declared Kim Yo Jong was “stealing the show” at the Olympics, and Reuters penned a piece quoting analysts as saying North Korea was going for a “diplomacy gold medal.” The New Republic‘s Jeet Heer called the North Korean charm offensive “surprisingly successful.”

Our mainstreams’ should be ashamed of their ignorance and complete lack of historical perspective. They clearly missed this important chapter in American -and world – history. As historian Victor Davis Hanson asserts in this Prager University video, the Korean War “deserves to be remembered and studied with pride” ~

 
Maybe before they embarrass themselves on the international stage again, our progressive mainstream media types should open a world history book.

The activists had gathered in South Korea’s capital on Sunday to voice their discontent about North Korea’s participation in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
