PYONGYANG, North Korea, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- North Korea's biggest newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, recently ran an editorial defending the lack of electricity in the country.
"They [North Korea's detractors] clap their hands and get loud over a satellite picture of our city with not much light, but the essence of society is not on flashy lights," the editorial says, as translated by The Wall Street Journal.
