Ever notice when the US is pressuring N. Korea CNN begins running the N.Korean death videos?

[NNN0LHI]

Video of N. Koreans falling down dead in the streets apparently from starvation and everything. People being executed publicly. And CNN would show them several times a day over the weekend.

But as soon as Bush starts yucking it up with the N. Koreans the videos mysteriously stop.

Anyone else notice that?

North Korea reported selling arms to Ethiopia with U.S. OK

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Bush administration allowed Ethiopia to complete a secret arms purchase from North Korea in an apparent violation of a U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution passed months earlier over its nuclear test, The New York Times reported in Sunday editions.

Citing unnamed U.S. officials from a number of agencies, the Times said the United States allowed the January arms delivery in part because Ethiopia was fighting Islamic militias in Somalia in an offensive that aided U.S. policies of combating religious extremists in the Horn of Africa.

A spokesman for the State Department declined to comment on the specifics of the arms shipment, but said the United States was "deeply committed to upholding and enforcing U.N. Security Council resolutions," the newspaper reported. No response from the Ethiopian Embassy was available.

Washington's former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, who helped push the resolution imposing sanctions on North Korea through the Security Council in October, said the United States should have told Ethiopia to send the weapons back.

1. I don't watch enough CNN to observe shifts in propaganda

In fact, I avoid all cable & network news whenever possible (LinkTV & Free Speech TV excepted). But it doesn't surprise me whatsoever to hear this. It also wouldn't surprise me to learn that each cable news office has an official 'liaison' person who receives & relays instructions from *Co's Ministry of Propaganda.
