Reading the Dictators’ Newspapers

Everybody’s got their favorite newspaper or magazine—the one they turn to first thing in the morning, breakfast fork in hand, for a look at what’s going on in the world. Noam Chomsky, famously, prefers the Financial Times, calling it ā€œmore open, more free, often more criticalā€ because it’s where the rich and powerful speak frankly to one another. Joan Didion praised the Berkeley Barb, the Open City, and the other ā€œundergroundā€ papers of 1960s California as among ā€œthe only American newspapers that do not leave me in the grip of a profound physical conviction that the oxygen has been cut off from my brain tissue, very probably by an Associated Press wire.ā€ Your own periodicals of choice might be the Detroit Free Press or Drop Site News, or if you have especially good taste, Current Affairs. But there are some papers I read regularly that are a little different from those. Almost nobody else in the United States reads them, but I think they tell us some important things about our country and the world, though probably not in the way their writers intend. You see, I’m a loyal reader of the Pyongyang Times and the Tehran Times.
