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.

Gee CNX faking or the North Koreans? Not as easy a choice to figure out who is faking it as it use to be.
Headline should be "CNN or North Korea Canght Telling the Truth."
Good point! MSM lies or North Korean lies? Hard to pick!
GASP! CNN would NEVER do anything to fabricate news.
Especially against it's own kind.
Yeah K. Jung I'm - Il , we know that XCNN BS, and you wish the murder images were fake.
It should be:
HEADLINE TYPO!
It should be:
N.Korea says CNX execution image fabricated
Uh oh. Friends turning on each other.
The big X on the screen was a dead giveaway.
That videotape used on CNN had been seen on the internet for months before CNN aired it.
Bingo.
Hmmm. This creates a dilemma. Who is the most truthful CNN or North Korea? North Korea or CNN? On one hand, you have liars that hate America and on the other you have liars hate everything America stands for. Damn, I just don't know.
multiple choice question: Who do you believe? A) CNX B) N.Korea C) none of the above

Pyongyang, November 25 (KCNA) -- The "Grand National Party", a general headquarters of flunkeys and traitors and anti-reunification conservative forces, is desperately working to bring back the era of inter-Korean confrontation and the reactionary offensive of the right-wing conservative forces is escalating. It was against this backdrop that the "National League of New Right", a new organization of the right-wing conservative forces, was knocked into shape recently to group all types of fascist remnants including renegades of the "student movement" and conservative hack writers. Rodong Sinmun Friday observes in a signed article: This is no more than a foolish fit of those who have no future. Only destruction awaits those who are engrossed in the treacherous moves, swimming against the trend of the times.
The anti-reunification conservative forces in south Korea are the reactionaries of history as they stand in the way of the people's struggle to achieve independence and reunification, turning their faces away from the changed times.
The GNP is still betraying the fellow countrymen, swimming against the trend of the times, not away from the old way of thinking dating back to the era of the Cold War.
