N.Korea says CNN execution image fabricated
Sat Nov 26, 8:53 AM ET

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea on Saturday called a recent CNN program depicting a public execution in the communist state a "sheer fabrication" and dismissed it as a ratings ploy by the U.S.-based broadcaster.



North Korea takes any criticism of its internal affairs sensitively and brands it a part of U.S. conspiracy to topple the government of its leader, Kim Jong-il.

CNN earlier this month broadcast a documentary, "Undercover in the Secret State," which among other images showed a grainy clip of what it called a public execution by firing squad of a man accused of helping a refugee cross into neighboring China.

"The video tape is full of sheer lies negating the popular and class nature and the democratic principle of the DPRK's laws and tarnishing its image from A to Z," the North's official KCNA news agency said in a commentary.

DPRK is short for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Many South Koreans probably think the same thing.

My money is on South Korea doing everything in its power to block out any other country's news media from entering North Korea once it falls. They don't want the truth to come out. It just looks bad.

You don't actually believe the report by North Korea do you?
