SOME PAPERS published propaganda for Hitler, some for Stalin, some for Castro. The LA Times has always had a sweet spot for the killers in North Korea -- and it turns out they still do. Haven't cancelled your subscription to the Times yet? Let's make it simple. Right now, yes right now, go pick up the phone and dial 1-800-252-9141. That's 1-800-252-9141. Say "I want to cancel my subscription to the LA Times." Answer some questions. That's all there is to it. When you're done you'll feel less dirty than you did just a minute ago -- you will no longer be subsidizing propaganda for the most murderous regime on the planet. Live in Chicago? Consider cancelling your subscription to the Tribune -- which owns the Times -- and switching over to the Sun-Times. You'll get Mark Steyn on Sunday as part of the bargain. Who can argue with that?

UPDATE: Powerline has much more on yesterday's propaganda piece in the LA Times. This is a big story folks. Stay tuned. Quotable:

Before [LA Times foreign correspondent Barbara] Demick went to Korea, she was stationed in the Middle East. And, amazingly enough, she was anti-Israel .. It all fits, somehow. North Korea, where mass murder is a fact of daily life, is just a normal place; the only problem is American "rancor." And when fourteen year old Israeli girls are murdered by Palestinian terrorists, who is to blame? Why, the Israeli government, of course! These are the perverted attitudes that commend themselves to the management of the Los Angeles Times.
