Tweeters Criticize CNN over ‘Propaganda’ Piece on Kim Jong-un’s Sister

By Christine Zosche 

CNN is facing a backlash over an article about North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, which critics claim paints her family’s repressive regime in a positive light. The piece, published on Saturday, is headlined: “Kim Jong-un’s Sister Is Stealing the Show at the Winter Olympics.” (HuffPost)

The New York Times was also met with intense criticism from many on Twitter, as members of the media—most of which are conservative—attacked an article titled “Kim Jong-un’s Sister Turns on the Charm, Taking Pence’s Spotlight,” as immoral, creepy and a defense of a communist regime. (Mediaite)
