The NK 'news' is reporting that the launch was a complete success and the satellite is in orbit. The reporters here said that's prolly all the "citizens" would ever know.
I don't think the common citizens in our country really have a clue about whats really happening.
We trust the news reporters. And I think there's usually two stories to most everything on a global level... the true story, and the story the government wants us to hear. I strongly doubt these two stories collaborate.
Propaganda is a strong tool in their society. We all know that. Makes me wonder how much propaganda we hold as the absolute truth.
Our country is prolly closer to the truth than most of the rest, though. We can investigate and dispute w/o too much of a hassle.
Sorry about the random thoughts.....just thinking.
