Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN) -- Defying warnings from the international community, North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Friday, but it appears to have broken apart shortly afterward, U.S. officials said.

I'm at work currently and my buddy just runs up to me saying that Korea just launched a missle and it's all over the news.
I got the link from CNN (the only place available) at the moment, when I know not to take in this BS.
I personally think that this story is just GARBAGE! to strike fear into the people of the US.
It's my opinion, and I would like to hear what you guys think about this. N.K. is saying that it's a satellite and the US is saying it's a missile...
So what's your take ?

All it says is "North Korea launches missile" and nothing more. You can't tell me this doesn't have propaganda written all over it. They dont say where it's headed, why it's going there, where they are launching to it, if anything is attached to it, and etc.
Sensationalizing to the max. Big deal out of nothing.edit on 12-4-2012 by Vandettas because: (no reason given)
Pyongyang said that the rocket would peacefully advance its space programme.
Reports from US, South Korean and Japanese officials suggest the launch failed shortly after take-off.
