Jeffrey LewisKim Possible: Daily Show Runs Satellite Image of Suspected NK Test Site

by | May 14, 2005 | 3 Comments

I’ve been waiting for an major news outlet to run a commercial satellite image the suspected North Korean nuclear test site near Kilju (Kilchu).

Imagine my surprise when the leading “fake news” outlet The Daily Show with Jon Stewart runs what purports to be a satellite image of North Korea either preparing for a nuclear test or “marinating the world’s largest jar of kimchee.”

Comedy Central posted the clip on-line, in an utterly hilarious segment entitled “Kim Possible.”

Maybe it was just a stock photo.

Anybody know how to contact the Daily Show to figure out where they got the image?

    But snail mail might be faster:

    “From the Jon Stewart Intelligence Agency…”

    Aha, wouldn’t that explain it right there? 😉
