        The apnews site has some liberal articles but also some of the articles are nearly identical to the DRPK state news. If you just want DPRK news straight from the horse's mouth, then look at official DPRK news sites.

        This is the DPRK state owned news website.

        This is the DPRK foreign affairs government site, you have to change the dropdown to english

          The English dropdown thing isn't working for me, I'll try it later. AP news is okay. My lib teacher loves it.

      Hasan is okay. Sometimes he gets too lib-ish with his takes on electoralism, the DPRK, China, and so on.

        That's not even true. He cares about electoralism somewhat. As for China, he sides with China over the US like 95% of the time. As for DPRK, he talked with the blowback podcast guys on his show.

          I haven't seen the blowback collab. He denies that China is socialist or pursuing socialism but yes he does side with them over the US usually.

            I only see a clip from over 2 years ago where he say that he didn't believe that China was pursuing socialism. This was before the covid 19 pandemic. I think that the way that China handled the covid 19 pandemic greatly influenced his view of China, as it did for many other people. While the US was at the peak covid 19 lockdowns, Hasan would bring up that China has open waterparks because China dealt with covid correctly in the beginning and consequently didn't have to lock down as the US did.

            I don't think Hasan still believes that China isn't pursuing socialism. He regularly praises China and defends the side of China when it is in the news.

              Just watched the colab (youtube.com/watch?v=xBBnUx7KMZQ). He doesn't concede the DPRK deserves support. He only says it's the US's fault they're in their current state (which I suppose is a good start). When the person from Blowback starts praising Kim Il Sung Hasan says "he had some fail sons", memeing but essentially saying he thinks both Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un were bad fr.
