Analysis / Bias
The North Korea Times utilizes minimally loaded language both in their headlines and articles such as “Did Trump cancel North Korea summit to avoid embarrassment?” and “’White House waging fierce campaign against Mueller’s probe.’” However, they source poorly through quoting rather than providing any links to back their claims. The North Korea Times also republishes full articles from Voice of America, Asian News International, and other mostly least biased sources.
The North Korea Times is not a North Korean news source. They report news about North Korea that comes from mostly least biased international sources.
