| South Korean soldiers set up loudspeakers along the DMZ. (the sound barely gets across the DMZ. (South Korean military speculates that North Korea is not really trying to broadcast propaganda, but to stop its soldiers from hearing the South Korean broadcast.) North Korea also has taken to Youtube for propaganda, but the attempt is more hilarious than convincing. The latest North Korean propaganda video following the artillery fire exchange claimed that South Koreans, fearing the might of North Korean military, are stockpiling supplies. The South Korean person in the video, however, was calmly picking out a number of fresh vegetables--the last thing that one would buy if one feared a war. (In a desperate attempt to make the person look like he is stockpiling, the North Korean video makers fast-forwarded the video of the man so that he looks like he is in a hurry.) The video also claimed that South Koreans are rushing to the airport to buy airline tickets out of Korea, which indicates that North Koreans don't know one wouldn't usually try to purchase an airplane ticket at the airport. The propaganda race between South and North Korea clearly shows what we already know: that in the duel of ideologies between communist authoritarianism and capitalist democracy, North Korea is completely, utterly, indisputably defeated. To win the hearts and minds across the DMZ, South Korea only has to show the truth. On the other hand, North Korea does not even know enough truth to lie well.
