KCNA Commentary Snipes at Asahi Shimbun's Smear Propaganda

Pyongyang, June 9 (KCNA) -- Yoshihiro Makino, Seoul Bureau chief of Asahi Shimbun, in a recent article dared impair the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and hurl mud at it once again. The article, authored by the notorious reptile journalist, is run through with lies told by the scum of society, and it was carried by the Tokyo head office of the newspaper. The Korean people are hardly repressing their anger at the tricky propaganda conducted by the conservative journalists and media of Japan. Makino and Asahi Shimbun's smear propaganda are not the first time. They have already earned an ill fame for speaking ill of the dignity and social system of the DPRK and its economy and people's livelihood. The reckless act of Makino and Asahi Shimbun is just a last-ditch effort to chill the atmosphere of national reconciliation and detente created on the Korean peninsula. It is also part of the anti-DPRK acts being committed under the manipulation of the Abe cult fretting about the tendency to "passing Japan". Just two months ago, Asahi Shimbun, commenting on the frequent anti-DPRK remarks by the Abe regime, said "the regime is concerned of being isolated in the hot wind of north Korea-centered diplomacy sweeping Northeast Asia" and talked about "Japanese people's concern about their country which was left alone". Clear is the conclusion. Such hack writers and pseudo-media as Makino and Asahi Shimbun have "tangibly" contributed to causing the phenomenon of "passing Japan" now that state politics, society, media and even individuals of Japan are distrusted and rejected by the public at home and abroad. Those who act rashly to slander the dignified DPRK can never be pardoned but will be forced to pay dearly, whether they are living in the island country or in any far-flung place across the ocean. -0-
