No, North Korea did not offer support for ‘noted scholar’ Donald Trump
By Adam Taylor August 10 at 11:17 AM
On Monday morning, in a segment devoted to how the media is overhyping the supposed implosion of Donald Trump's presidential candidacy, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" pointed to one supporter that the American businessman and Republican 2016 hopeful had apparently retained: North Korean state media.
Speaking to hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, Mark Halperin of Bloomberg Politics said the North Korean government had offered support to Trump via its Twitter account. He referred to the following tweet:
"Got the North Koreans," Halperin noted. "That's a pretty strong coalition."
The idea of North Korea and Trump banding together is humorous and terrifying for a variety of reasons. The problem, however, is that it is not true. @DPRK_News is a parody account run by bloggers for the libertarian law blog Popehat.com, who noticed MSNBC's mention of their tweet a little later on Monday and swiftly began mocking the network.

My gosh, this guy is an idiot! If it seems too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true! What do they teach in journalist school?

Consider the stories about North Korean leader Kim Jong Un having his uncle fed to a pack of hungry dogs that spread through mainstream outlets last year: It later emerged that a satirical Chinese Twitter account may have been the source of these rumors. That didn’t really happen?
This is the first I have heard this!

The story of ‘fed to the dogs’ is not credible.
