Legacy news outlets released glowing pieces on North Korea’s presence at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Among the reports were The New York Times praising the North Korean cheerleaders, Reuters saying North Korea was “judged winner of diplomatic gold” at the games, and others that praised the sister of the North Korean dictator who heads the communist regime’s Department of Propaganda and Agitation.
The New York Times praised the propaganda chief, Kim Yo Jong, stating that she flashed a “sphinx-like smile and without ever speaking in public,” and brought a different message from President Donald Trump’s policy of sanctions, to instead deliver “messages of reconciliation.”
