[edit] Comparison to Pravda

"As the state-owned news agency of North Korea. KCNA is the mouthpiece of the North Korean government, and serves a similar purpose as Soviet-era Pravda."

I may be wrong, but wouldn't it be more accurate to compare KCNA to TASS? --  timc  talk   16:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I came here to say the exact same thing, and saw Timc's note. Pravda was merely the newspaper of the CPSU (there is also a newspaper for the KWP as well), while TASS was the news agency, like KCNA. I vote that we edit it to say TASS instead. NYDCSP 00:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

" Most news that is released to an international audience, and which is quoted by international press, originates from the KCNA."

There is nothing to support this, and it does indeed sound biased.
