This guy/channel has "hacked" into a DPRK-based satellite, which he then streams to YouTube. Some more background on how he did it here.

He's pretty standard in terms of the "shitlib" takes on DPRK, blah blah Kim Regime, blah blah brainwashing.

But it's interesting nonetheless having pretty much full access to entire days of whatever they're showing on TV in the DPRK :).

Yea. The entire comment section, and guy himself are going through all the DPRK-bad tropes.

Not really related, but I recently re-watched Avatar: The Last Airbender, the animated series. There is so much blatant anti-"communist" propaganda throughout. Like the whole "no war in Ba Sing Se" thing is clearly designed to mimic "communist brainwashing", Stasi and everything related to bad/lib/western takes on non-western intelligence service(s). The same bad tropes are also repeated in Legend of Korra, with the equality movement, "the great uniter" and so on.

They're all clearly written to be the bad guys, and everything they believe in is compared to the usual anti-communist propaganda - equality=bad, he's actually a bad guy (liar) underneath the mask. The great uniter=bad, sends people to concentration camps while promising unity.

Again just reminds me of a classic joke:

"A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink..."

"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
