The statement said:

The ultra-right conservative media including Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo are malignantly defiling the dignity and system of the DPRK and fanning up a war fever, toeing the policies of their U.S. and Japanese masters and the puppet conservative groups who orchestrated the unprecedented hideous anti-DPRK farce. Moreover, they are busy labeling progressive media and the righteous pro-reunification patriotic figures demanding a probe into the truth behind the warship case as "enemy-benefiting elements" and "pro-north leftists" in a bid to mislead public opinion at home and abroad.

These behaviors are nothing but disgraceful ones contrary to the mission of media and a blatant violation and challenge to the agreement reached among media organizations in the north and the south to conduct positive media activities to contribute to national unity and reunification.

A media organization forsaken by the public for ignoring the spirit of the era can never speak for justice and truth even though it has a pen or mike in hand, the statement noted, and went on:

It is as clear as noonday which way the media forsaken by the public will go while shutting its eyes to justice and pursuing instead injustice as a waiting maid to serve the authorities in pursuit of its own luxury.

The results of the recent "elections to local self-governing bodies" constitute a telling blow dealt by the south Korean people at the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors and, at the same time, an expression of extreme disillusionment and anger at the conservative media which zealously backed the fascist dictatorship and the moves to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen.

No matter how hard the conservative media may work to falsify truth, misrepresent justice and make a mockery of the public mind-set, it can never hold in check the dynamic march of all the Koreans for independence and reunification under the banner of "By our nation itself".

The south Korean conservative media had better bear deep in mind that only a miserable end awaits them as they turn their faces away from the public mind-set, oblivious of the calls of the era and history.
