Drawing attention to the fact that news reports released by media of south Korea and the U.S. on the situation on the peninsula do not help correctly grasp what is truth, the article added that this is because they do not properly introduce the north.

Media of south Korea and U.S. are faithfully playing the role of a weapon attacking the north, it charged, and continued:

The above-said media are shifting all the blames for the crisis on the peninsula onto the north.

They accuse the north of a satellite launch, without taking into consideration at all the fact that such launch pertains to sovereignty under international law.

Over the last half century since satellite launch began, it was only the north that was subject to international sanctions for its satellite launch.

Space industry is directly linked with the future of a state and its economic development. To deter advance into space is little short of blocking the state's development and threatening the right to exist.

The U.S. examined the use of nukes during the Korean War and since the middle of the 1950s it has pushed forward a military strategy, drills, etc. presupposing the use of nukes on the peninsula, and posed a threat to the north.

At present, too, the U.S. is demanding the north side drop its nuclear weapons, making its provision of a nuclear umbrella to the south side an established fact. This lacks persuasive power.

South Korean media do not seriously deal with this point.

They almost fully speak for the U.S. as regards the north's satellite launch and nuclear test, the UN "sanctions against the north," Key Resolve maneuvers, the north's nullification of the Armistice Agreement, etc.

As regards the Kaesong Industrial Zone, some media and political camp of the south asserted that the north has gained a fabulous amount of foreign currency and that money is being diverted to the purpose of the north's nuclear test, etc.

Some media recently floated the story that the north is sparking off a crisis with the KIZ, its alleged source of money, left in tact.

The KIZ may be explained from various angles. It is the military aspect of the KIZ that the south Korean conservative forces never mention when referring to the KIZ.

The conservative forces' mum about this point is little short of making a mockery of the KIZ.

Most media of the south only release news reports about the north's "provocations" without clarifying at all what is the core of the crisis on the peninsula and what is a fundamental solution to it.

Even against the backdrop of the world's strong criticism the south's media are free to release reports terming the U.S. a perfect military patron of south Korea but describing the north as a diehard "enemy."

They are busy reporting about ceaseless drills of U.S. sophisticated weapons from the U.S. eyes. They play the role of hyping the effect of the U.S. "demonstration of forces" against the north.

Media of the south are bound to the "Security Law" suppressing the freedom of thinking.
