About that Kim Jong Un execution story...

As exciting as it is to imagine that North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un had his uncle executed by 120 dogs eating him alive, Time magazine is here with a wet blanket for that report:

It is striking that Wen Wei Po was the only Chinese media outlet with the story. China’s powers of information control are not perfect, but the arms of its propaganda machine tend to wave in synch.

Plus, the account does not fit with other reporting on Jang’s ouster.  Around the same time the Straits Times ran with the Wen Wei Po piece, the New York Times, citing South Korean intelligence, reported that some of Jang’s associates were executed using antiaircraft guns while Jang himself was killed “by more traditional means.”
