What does “flayed” mean, again?
Maybe it’s a typo, or maybe KCNA is not quite sure what the word “flayed” means. Contrast to this story.
Also, I hardly need to mention the irony of the DPRK accusing Lee Myung-Bak of being a dictator, and of lamenting an attack against the free press. In their words: “The Lee Myung Bak conservative ruling forces are scheming to gratify their ambition for long-term office even by putting media under their control while trampling upon democracy of society, serving only the privileged circle”. Replace “Lee Myung Bak” with “Kim Jong Il” and you have a pretty accurate depiction of the DPRK.
