Its only a testament to how effective propaganda is when your side has
control of it. Take, for example, Bill Clinton's enduring popularity
with those who think that the major media are not biased toward the
left...... ;)
Seriously, though. It has to be brainwashing at work on a massive
scale. North Korea was, in 1950, the only part of Korea with industry.
The south was predominantly agrarian. Today, the North is an agrarian
society while the South is now the 12th largest economy in the world.
The north controls all media in the north, and actively jams southern
transmissions, including the VOA.
When everything is painted red, even the idea of the existence of other
colors is unthinkable.
