Diane Sawyer in extremely fluffy interview with Potemkin North Koreans



The piece spends a fair amount of time noting the cult of personality surrounding Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung, but all the North Koreans interviewed looked well-fed and the questions are incredibly bland. The screen caption, "North Koreans are Happy without America," has to be seen to be believed. Obviously, this is the sort of piece they had to produce in order to be allowed into the country at all. Was it worth doing, or is it Juche Propaganda with the Might of Songun? What do you think? (Click the post title-link to view the video.)
