On a side note CBS news this morning was ‘reporting’ On Kim’s death.They actually showed people bowing like Obama does on his prayer rug and fainting and crying because his death.They reported it to be factual that the people love him.NOT ONCE did they report that the people were starved and forced to eat tree barque.Not once did they report that it was a BAD communist propaganda news byte.They never once reported that the people were forced to look like the have grief for his death. I know CBS is a communist network for Obama but at least report national politics correctly. It is insane!

Still checking and not finding a confirmation. If true, castro dead, may take awhile. Not looking good for quick confirmation ...

Dictatorial countries require people to show up as mourners. It is their way of showing how great their dead dictator was.

The same will happen when Chavez dies, when Castro dies, etc.

CBS is outright lying. They are LYING to the American People that this man was loved, and that what is being seen is true, sincere grief. They are not reporting that North Korea is 80% phony show, and this is no different. They are not reporting that actresses are being put into Army uniforms, put to the front of the lines along the roads, then cry and are filmed, while a representative spokesperson for them sobs before the camera. And that others who are not acting professionals are told in no uncertain terms they MUST CRY and do so vigorously, or they will be punished by their local Party units, with possibly severe reprecussions. The fact they are witholding this fundamental information in fact of what the true situation is in Pyongyang means they are violating fundamental rules of reporting and journalism. I am not surprised, but I am disgusted with them. All over Asia over here (except China), the reporting is matter of fact that this is all just another big North Korean staged show...because, regarding the journalists and outlets out here: a) they pay attention, b) they have seen it before, c) they do not have a domestic agenda to brainwash their viewership into accepting communist regimes. Truly the US now smacks of the worst days of USSR controlled propaganda. Go outside the US media zone, people, to get the TRUTH, that is all I can say. CNN was horrid and lying through their teeth, giving no context at all to today. They said the people were grieving and nary a commentator noted what North Korean defectors and North Korean watchers, skilled in YEARS of it, are saying all over South Korean and Japanese TV about this phenomenon during the funeral in Pyongyang.
