Reptile media, anyone?

Yeah, its another post from Korean News. This one is entitled "Imperialists' Ideological and Cultural Poisoning Accused":
The imperialists' moves for capitalistic ideological and cultural poisoning are their vicious counter-revolutionary ideological offensive aimed at benumbing the sound thinking and consciousness of people and destabilizing and degenerating the anti-imperialist independent countries.

Rodong Sinmun Sunday observes this in a signed article.

It goes on:

The imperialists are keen to spread capitalist idea and culture in a bid to wipe out the revolutionary thinking and consciousness.

It is their calculation that they can not only make their ideology and culture prevail over the whole world but easily win over the people of progressive countries and realize their wild ambition to dominate the world if they effectively use their reptile media without resorting to the force of arms. For this reason, they spend an increasing amount of money every year for boosting the number of reptile media, sharply boosting the quantities of propaganda materials and making them more reactionary and obscene in their contents.

All the propaganda materials produced by the imperialists are without exception most reactionary as they diametrically run counter to progressive ideology and culture and play a very harmful role.

Their moves for ideological and cultural poisoning adversely affect the struggle of the people for independence against imperialism.
There is one weapon in the imperialist arsenal more sinister and destructive than any other: paragraph development!
The struggle against imperialism precisely means a showdown between forces and ideologies. It is impossible to advance revolution and protect the gains of revolution already achieved unless people are equipped with progressive thought and get working class awareness.

The struggle against the capitalist ideological and cultural poisoning means fierce confrontation with imperialists and a struggle to defend the country's sovereignty without gunfire.

The Korean people will thoroughly frustrate the imperialists' vicious capitalist ideological and cultural poisoning with a high degree of revolutionary vigilance, firmly defend the socialist political and ideological position and thus powerfully accelerate the building of a great prosperous powerful nation, the article concludes.
In case you were wondering, I don't actually read these things before posting them--that's your job!
