POV[edit]

Look, I'm no fan of the Kim dynasty, but bias is bias, and it's got no place in an encyclopedia. Take the following statement:

"Broadcasting in North Korea is tightly controlled by the state and is used as a propaganda arm of the ruling Korean Workers' Party."

I could swap "the United States" for "North Korea," and "corporate elites" for "Korean Workers' Party," and it would be every bit as factually accurate, but it wouldn't last 30 seconds in Communications in the United States or Media of the United States or any similar article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.105.246.237 (talk) 21:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can't just swap out nouns and expect the statements be factually accurate. The Reason it says that Broadcasting is tightly controlled by the state (Korean Workers' Party) is because it is. Look at Media of North Korea, It quotes the North Korean Constitution on the role of the press is to "serve the aims of strengthening the dictatorship of the proletariat, bolstering the political unity and ideological conformity of the people and rallying them behind the Party and the Great Leader in the cause of revolution." If that doesn't sound like the definition of a press that is designed only to propagate propaganda then I don't know what is.
