The Washington Post (5/12/15) has a sensational story about North Korean Gen. Hyon Yong Chol:

North Korea’s equivalent of a defense minister has been executed by anti-aircraft gun for insubordination and treason—including for sleeping during a meeting where Kim Jong Un was speaking, South Korea’s intelligence agency said Wednesday.

Reporters Anna Fifield and Yoonjung Seo continue:

The report, if true, would starkly illustrate the brutal extent to which the young North Korean leader is going to consolidate power.

And if it isn’t true? I suppose it would starkly illustrate the low standards the Washington Post sets for itself when reporting about an official enemy.
Wrong as Often as Right Is Good Enough When Reporting on an Official Enemy FAIR

Good job, Washington Post.
 
If true it's a better way to go IMO than some other guy alleged to have been put in a large cage and then set upon by a pack of dogs, starved for a few days so they'd be at peak performance.
