Posted: 8/8/2012 | By: Voice of America
North Korea's state media are blasting an Australian newspaper that
referred to the communist country as “Naughty Korea” and its neighbor to
the south as “Nice Korea” in a tally of Olympic medals.
The North Korean Central News Agency on Tuesday condemned the description by the mX newspaper as “sordid” and “foolish,” calling it a “bullying act little short of insulting the Olympic spirit of solidarity, friendship and progress.”
