Surprised that this isn't the typical shit-slinging by western media.

      Because to them this sounds as insane and preposterous as Kim Jong Un forcing everyone to have his haircut or feeding his uncle to dogs

        it's just whiteframing. Frames the story in a way that makes them look fare more backward than they actually are.

        example: "India to ban marital rape in 2013" (even though most western countries only banned it in the late 90s/2000s. But the implied subtext is that western countries dealt with that issue back in WW2 or something)
