‘Reptile media’? According to the KCNA:

North Korea lashed out at TV news network CNN for airing footage purporting to show a public execution, accusing it of being part of a US-government-organised slander campaign.

CNN this month aired a documentary with footage defectors claimed to have smuggled out of North Korea, including a public execution of a person who had helped someone defect to China. The network had said North Korea declined a request for comment.

In a commentary by its official Korean Central News Agency, Pyongyang said the footage was “full of sheer lies” and accused CNN of airing the tape at the instigation of the US government as part of an alleged psychological campaign to overthrow the regime.

“The US set in motion reptile media whenever its hostile policy toward [North Korea] was caught in a cleft. This is its trite method,” KCNA said on Saturday (emphasis added).

Oh, yes, and CNN is a friend of the Bush administration, riiiiiight. If you can speak English like that in real life while living in North Korea, you’ll be a chick magnet.
