Russia brands Western mass media as international mafia

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, recently dubbed the Western mass media patronizing the Ukrainian authorities as an international mafia. She accused American newspaperThe Wall Street Journalof not reporting the corruption case of the chief of the Ukrainian presidential office to shield him, though it obtained the details of the case. An Italian newspaper recently refused to publish in the same way the content of the interview with the Russian foreign minister who mentioned the factual data proving the neo-Nazi nature of the Ukrainian authorities, she said, censuring the Western mass media as a world organized crime syndicate. The Pyongyang Times, launched on May 6, 1965, is the DPRK's only English newspaper. It gives latest, detailed information about what is going on in the country in politics, the economy, culture and other sectors. And the paper also provides a vast knowledge of the nooks and crannies of Pyongyang.
