Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- The Citizens Federation for Democratic Media of south Korea issued a statement on March 27 denouncing the present "government" and the ruling party for their undisguised moves to put broadcasting services and other media under their control.
The statement accused the Lee "government" of letting a large number of his confidants hold responsible posts at Yonhap TV News and other media organizations and their related institutions. It deplored that the media persons of conscience are fired for chiding the "government" policies and even thrown behind bars.
The statement declared the organization would struggle against the authorities' moves to grant even the right to manage broadcasting services to the conservative media and big businesses under the pretext of increasing employment in a bid to put them under their control.
